GEOGRAPHY (for you)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Zaltys 7 is the one that confuses me. Not sure if it's male or female?

I'll take that as a compliment :)

Born in Slough (Berkshire), grew up in Brackley (Northamptonshire), spent my teenage years in Banbury (Oxfordshire), moved to Stoke on Trent (Staffordshire) for university and am still here 20 years later.

Spent a year in Chichester and some time in Brighton didn't like either place.

I used to work in Horsham, only for a bit, doing knowledge transfer about pharmaceuticals from our factory in Leeds to their factory. Weird experience tbh. We played loads of silly games in the hotel because we had virtually unlimited expenses due to a 'golden handcuffs' deal because our site in Horsforth was closing. :(

I'm usually to be found in the same, soulless South Leicestershire market town in which I spent most of my formative years.

There are definitely worse places, but I'm finding it difficult to witness the swallowing up of all my muddy adolescent haunts by warehouses and estates of uninspired "luxury" housing.

I've lived in Leeds since 1990. Before that I moved around various places on the Pennine border between Greater Manchester and the West Riding.

More-or-less anyway.

Raised in the same country village north of Dublin where I now live. In my 20's had a stint in the U.S followed by another in London. Then a spell in India. Then back to Dublin, first on the northside, before migrating across the Liffey to the southside, and eventually moving back to the country.

I miss living in the city although I still work there, commuting is not much fun.

On the pagan side of Cologne, mostly. The few years in the centre were quite nice, though, basically.
