Not sure how effective this is, as most of the info is available in the profile section, but seeing as I cant refuse Cat anything & cant resist talking about myself, here goes:

Name: Dave (well David, but only my mother uses that)

Nik: Totally made up, first used many years ago on an online game. Now used in much of my online dealings.
A little known fact is that it is pronounced fire-mould.

Posting here since last Thursday. (I had to check my own profile to find that snippet out)

Addicted - Currently I am, but will no doubt get snowed under at work again soon, which will interfere with my posting.

Born in Carlisle, spent 7 years in Leeds (Uni then work) and bought a house while there (which I still own). Moved to Herts 9 years ago and been here ever since.

Hello

OK - here goes...

My name is Brian
I chose my nickname as I was too unimaginative to think of a better one and I'd probably forget it anyway!
I've been posting here since July 2006
I'm a little shy so I don't post as often as some of you but if I have a little nugget of info worth sharing then I'll reply
I was born in N. Yorkshire and have been living in Wales for almost 8 years on and off.

So, that's me!

Hi Thanks for your post. I think it's important that some of the experts take part in this so I'll set the ball rolling.... My name is Jason, (as if you didn't know!) and my official title at moneysupermarket.com is Broadband & Shopping Channel Manager. At present the Broadband Channel has been my primary focus which is why I've been so vocal in the forum and ask the experts, but in the near future we'll be relaunching the Shopping Channel and our plans for this are very very exciting. I've been at moneysupermarket.com for about 9 months, I've learned an awful lot , met a lot of great people and enjoyed it immensely. I come from a small village near Rugby, Warks and I'm an avid Everton fan for my sins. Ok who's next? Jason

On other forums that I go on, we regularly have what we call a roll call thread , on which everyone introduces themselves and says 'hi'. Usually, there are a few (non-identifying) questions to answer, as well.

I thought, seeing as lots of us are getting to know each other, that this would be a nice thing to try on these boards too.

So:

What is your name (if you are willing to reveal it)?
How did you choose your nickname (if you are using one)?
How long have you been posting on these forums?
Are you addicted?
What area of the UK are you from?

My answers:

My name is Catherine - Cat really is what I am called by a lot of people.

I chose my nickname to reflect my personailty - I am a walking catastrophe!!

I've been posting here since December 2006 (I think!).

Yes, I certainly am addicted to these (and other) forums!!

I was born in Hampshire, and grew up there, but I am now an honorary welshwoman, and immensely proud of that. I also lived for quite a while in Liverpool, which will ever be a place close to my heart.

Over to you guys!!

Cat
