New Edugeek Users - Introduce yourself here :)

[beeswax]

Half time in the world cup final. Did you hear John Motson describe the France player Makelele as "being like an iron smoothing out the creases of the French defence." ?
There's secret society of ironers, that Dan Brown is writing about in his sequel to the Da Vinci Code.

[contink]

Erm... can't help but think I unleashed a monster here... but wouldn't it be worth splitting this "iron" thing into a different thread so people can continue to introduce themselves without peer pressure forcing those with ironing skills to keep quiet for fear or reprisals..

... or something... :P

[Gatt]

I think this thread has been hijacked by the iron mongers! :?

I've been lurking for awhile after an introduction from Gatt, thanks buddy because this place has been a god send. Anyway, I thought I'd better introduce myself.

My name's Dave and I'm a manager for an IT company where one of my roles is the support of several local primary schools.

Before finding this site I was getting some weird and wonderful problems and I had a total lack of support, but thankfully this place has sorted things out for me.

Anyway I will no doubt be posting a bit in the future and so I'll apologise in advance! :P

Welcome aboard Dave

A forum lurker by nature but hope to contribute where i can, if i can.

[NetworkGeezer]

Welcome aboard Ian.

Is 24 your age or the number of hours you stay awake?

[Needsleep]

hehe, thanks for the welcome

it's my age but does, rather too often, double as the amount of hrs i have been up. Which, in turn, makes me feel about twice as old!

[ChrisC]

Or his favourite TV show?

Off topic about tv shows, if you have digital/cable/sky/whatever and get bravo, watch it from midnight, they run [adult swim] which has funny cartoons and robot chicken, which is hilarious claymation made by seth green!

Just thought I'd share that.
