'Lo all

Post by :FI:Thirdman » Sun Jan 09, 2005 8:24 pm

Hi chaps,

Just dropping a line to say hi to anyone who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet. I notice I'm the third Irish person on here, so my name is even more fitting than before.

I suppose a small intro wouldn't go amiss, so here it is. I'm from Dublin, but not the same area as my good friend :FI:Moog. In fact, I come from a small, but rather fetching village, named Howth. Unfortunately Howth is rather short on quality entertainment which leaves a lot of free time on my hands to get to grips with the finer points of computer games. At the moment when not at work (as a librarian), and have a bit of free time my favourite gaming choices include the new GTA, various first person war games, and last, but not least, football management sims. Apart from 'puter stuff, it's the usual sports, music and booze fare that I@m sure is not uncommon to the other FI members.

Anyhooo....I've rambled plenty here,
Take it handy,
Iano

Warm Welcome

Fight as much as possible with the lads, get skilled and drink afterwards,

and you'll be fine.

Apologies for my poor maths/knowledge of other players:) I'm sure you'll have the chance to kill me to death before long anyway.

It's not Hitchcock, but you're in the right ballpark. It's an Orson Wells production called The Third Man. Can't recommmend it highly enough
