BucksRam Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Apologies if I've missed a similar thread like this before. I've noticed quite a few comments recently from posters who have opined "I don't know who you are but...", or "I don't know what you do but...". I thought it may be useful if, assuming anyone's willing, to share a bit about themselves which may help in understanding where some of us may be coming from or provide a reference point if anyone has a particular question (not the x-rated stuff of course albeit that may be more interesting!). At the risk of being the only poster, I'll bite the bullet and go first: Pers: Married, 2 girls, 3 cats, the wrong (or is that the right?) side of 50 Interests: football (DCFC fan >40 years), rugby, mountain biking, TV/Film, reading, martial arts Work: Business Change, Project Management, Business Analysis Like: having a laugh, listening, honesty, being there for others, healthy debates, socialising Hate: unconstructive criticism, rudeness, ignorance, know-it-alls Ethos: If it's just a game, why keep score?

Mucker1884 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Sebastion "Charidee" Smythe. 27. Single, but in a ladies man kinda way, if you know what I mean? Eh? Friends call me Seb, for short... but in reality, I am far from short, if you know what I mean? Eh? No children that I know of, but then I never leave a calling card, and use a burner for sexting! 6ft 2, eyes of blue, and hair of golden hue. Size 12 feet, if you know what I mean... eh... eh? Hobbies include gym workouts, body-building, oiling my pecs, cliff diving, and wearing only the finest bespoke attire from George O'Marney. Work in the finance sector, (Tuesdays & Wednesdays) making a bit of extra dollar (Or Yen, to be fair!) for the middle class "celebrities"... which equates to mega-bucks por moi! I'll be retiring in 3 years time, although I could do now, if I wanted! I also do voluntary work... Freelance Gigolo eh? Eh? Oh yeah... fluent in 9 foreign languages, including Mandarin and Urdu. I play... rather adeptly, although I say so myself... classical piano, harpsichord, and glockenspiel. If I fail to complete The Times crossword within 30 minutes, I punish myself with a gruelling 8mile yomp across the moors, carrying a 35kg pack. I have served the Queen... both indirectly and directly (If you know what I mean!)... but I can tell no more on that score... Eh? Eh? Maybe in my next book! I have written scores for 3 Hollywood blockbusters, and two best selling novels. Officially romance, but they're basically autobiographies, if you know what I mean? Eh? Eh? I could buy DCFC tomorrow if I so desired, but truth is, I have my eye on other protects... or Real Madrid, as they are otherwise known. But enough about me...
