pics of you

[RichardW]

32, married 7 years, no kids, live in Lanark, just outside Glasgow. I am a Chartered Chemical Enginer (I pay a lot of money to be able to write MEng CEng IChemE after my name 8) ) - I work in Grangemouth for a company that provides project design services to the large petrochem complex there.

I am an incurable Citroen nut! My Granddad was good friends with Les Barr, who ran the Citroen franchise in Barrow in Furness for a good number of years - my Dad's first Citroen was an Ami 8 estate from there in about 1976 - followed by 3x GS, 2 x BX, 1 Xantia, 2 Dyanes, another Ami, 3 Visas (one of which - SDL 20X, a Visa II Super E - both me and my 2 sisters learnt to drive, and passed our tests, in), an AX, a Xsara, and a C4 (Currently on order!). There was a short dalliance with an Allegro, but we don't talk about that! My sisters don't escape either - my older one runs a 1987 BX 19RD estate that was my Grandad's, and my younger one's got a ZX D. We have a ZX TD and Xantia TD, and a very rotten Visa decap. Previously had 3x BX, another Xantia and another ZX. I seem to spend too much time fixing the house to get out and weld up the Visa - currently into garden re-organisation I like to go out hillwalking when I can - which is just an excuse to indulge my other passion for real ale

I also have a 1929 Velocette motorbike in pieces (no particular interest in old bikes - this one was my Grandad's since before WW2!).

I'm also a severe pedant, and hate mis-use of apostrophes with a passion

I always look like I've been shot, am stoned or pissed in photos. This one is no exception (except I was quite pissed at this recent wedding!):

What happens to engineers when they get let out

We did have a couple of forum meetings a couple of years ago - we were there with James UK, Oily Stewart and Bernie Lugg. That was really the "other" forum, though.

Ooh err - you seem to have set a bit of a President here Jim!

Yay! Jim for President!

I currently work as a Pharmaceutical Dispenser at Marazion in Cornwall (a lovely place to be cooped up in!), giving out drugs to all the retired folk there.

One presumes that the non-retired ones help themselves in the early hours?

Here's me:

32, er

Work in Satellite exploration company for [mainly] oil with a team of rock people (geologists) I kinda support them

South African GF of a year.. (who doesnt drink me under the table, but thankfully keeps up anyway )

going to give all of it up and travel to the other Hemisphere as I am bored and 'your a long time dead' which seems to be my favourite expression

may even get a beer off the Mandrake!

and by way of downsizing, I have brought an old Chevy RV and am living in it, on a great farm, which is not nearly as bad as it sounds

My name is Pete, I'm 30 years old, getting married to the wonderful Sharon in September (the day before my birthday, so no excuses for forgetting our anniversary )

I'm a Fire Engineer and I live in sunny Bucks. I worked for 3 and a bit years as a Sewerman and amongst my favourite sayings id: "I've been in that sewer!"

my hobbies include Disc golf (see www.bdga.org.uk for an explanation), Ultimate (see http://www.ukultimate.com/what for an explanation), reading, drinking, playing guitar (badly) and Morris Dancing.

I drive a ZX TD and struggle to get better than 40 mpg (depleted uranium right foot), we also have a vectra estate for long journeys/trips to the tip/driving something thats parked closer to the house.

I grew up with Citroens (and Staffies), my folks had a GS and a GSA and I remember trans-european camping holiday with a boot and roofrack full of camp gibbins (and lots of being overtaken)

the following link is one of the rare photos of me on the tinterweb http://www.malvernultimate.com/pictures ... 0/pete.jpg

and incidentally the "Village" is as in Idiot rather than People!
