Name: Simon
Alias: Neuron, Faulty Neuron, Game Cat, Angry Badger, a few others but mostly Neuron or Faulty Neuron
Age: 23 at time of posting
Location: Cheltenham, UK
Favorite Toys: poi and staff, cause they're the only ones i can even vaguely pretend to spin with without hurting myself utterly
Occupation: None/Retail (same thing) or Tax Dodging Student
Hobbies: apart from the very obvious, music, movies, reading, theatre, spending money, video gaming and just about anything computer based
Music : Eclectic.
Movies : LOADS. I like far too many movies. Current favourites include the matrix trilogy, blade runner and the aliens saga (constant favourites), fight club, ah hell, nah, i can't list 'em all. Too many.
Books: Currently reading "Masters of Doom" which is excellent but I like a lot of books. Of fairly varied style. Though sci-fi is a big favourite. Cyberpunk is a constant highlight.
Favorite Color: ... not sure i really have one.
My website: www.neuronfailure.com though it's down at the time of writing for re-development.
Yeah it's a boring intro, perhaps you'll get to know more as things progress (unless you haven't discovered way too much already from me posting in your intro threads:))

i probably would!i'm gonna be soooo bouncey on the plane. i think i'm gonna need to take some muscle relaxers just so i can sleep on the plane and not sleep the day away on friday!!!
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

love green tea personally, though I don't have any at the moment
He he...yeah..pounce on caffeine might be a bit much. Me? Sadly addicted to the stuff.

ya i was quite addicted to caffeine, hence the reason i quit. too much caffeine made for a sickly pounce

Actually, green tea only has about 20 mg of caffeine per cup. By contrast, a cup of black tea has about 100mg, similar to a can of Coke. A cup of coffee has between 120 and 180 mg.
So the amount of caffeine in green tea is really pretty negligible. There is also decaffeinated green tea, but the decaffeination process probably removes a lot of the antioxidants that make it so good for you.

I won't drink cafeine after 4pm cause I can't sleep. Apparently caffeine has a half life of 6 hours. I found this quite interesting...
Alright Faulty Neuron? Do you live in Faulty Towers? If not you should google it, cause it rocks....
I live in a world of infinite possibilities.

I don't live in Faulty Towers, no, but I don't need to google it as I am well aware of it's presence :P Thanks for the welcome though.

This isn't a goodbye, exactly, but I shall be stepping back from the HoP community for a while. It's been fun and I've met some great people. To those people I say I'll still be around, so you can email me or add me to msn messenger if you have it (on faultyneuron@neuronfailure.com). I'll still be around, from time to time, but only from time to time.

'twas good to meet you!
The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

Incase anyone would have any interest, my new website ( https://www.vectorsigma.co.uk/
) is now up and running. As a bare bones site. It needs improvement.

Hey Simon,
Me and my mate went into Game on monday to see if you were there. Were you? If so we were the two blond girls who came in and stood at the back of the shop by the Gameboy section and then left. We saw one guy had a name bagde on but his name was Stuart.
Was there any fire at the two pigs on wednesday? Can you PM if there is again. Will you be working on saturday (Tomorrow) I might come in and chicken out of saying hi again. Also gotta check out that place you were talking about by the carphone warehouse. It sounds cool.
I think that is enough ranting. Maybe our paths will cross soon.

Nope, I wasn't working there. I only work weekends and then not every weekend. I might be working tomorrow. I'm on the rosta, but I'm trying to change that.

Not poi. At least not what I'm spinning in my avatar. That's my staff.

i think she was referring to the pic of joe's monster poi
hey kit, since you've been lurking in my thread, you should recall my account of joe's monster poi spinning while i was in kent. those are the pics of them pre-lit.

Ah yes, my website. I was confused for a moment. You would have to ask someone who actually spun them how much the weighed, I didn't touch the things, hehe. And I wasn't there for the burning of them either.

Wizz - it's still going! But I'm still alive which is the main thing. I have a place to live sorted (move in on saturday) and a car sorted (pick it up on monday) and a job sorted (start tuesday, i do believe) but then, we knew i had a job sorted, that's why i moved!
It's all a bit much to be honest but I have everything sorted out, or at least to the point where there's nothing I can do, so I went out and bought a bunch of books today so I can spend tomorrow crashed in my bed&breakfast room reading. Eleanor, silly girl, you have far more exciting things to be up to than sitting around emailing folks! If I were you I know I'd be too busy enjoying the views and the new locations and stuff. Hell, look at me, I'm in "exotic" Guildford and even I can't get to a computer....... damn that sinks that theory, anyway, the point is I haven't spent MUCH time at a computer *ahem*. I'm glad things are going great. I think I'm glad you're drunk (as it implies good things are happening) though the oh dear sounds somewhat troubling
