This is me.

That is me, on a ferry. It was windy.

I'm just 6ft. I have dyed blue-black hair, (apparantly) shockingly blue eyes, size 13 feet, and I weigh around 11-12 stone. Pretty much average for a boy my age. I'll post more soon, probably.

On a completely different note, has anyone heard about the car hire company, Eurocar I think, that are taking thumbprints instead of official documents proving you are who you say you are?
Sure, this might reduce the number of stolen hire cars, but who's to say the company wont send the details on to other companies, or even worse, the government and police? Orwell was right, we're turning into a completely controlled state. Everything we have is going to be bio-metrically imprinted with everything about us.

When I was younger, I dreamed of a world like that, I thought it would be so convenient, but now I can see the problems that can come about from this. The idea is superb, but it's essentially invasion of privacy, and I can't think of any reason why it would be supported.

Apparently it prevents terrorism. How the hell is it supposed to prevent terrorism? Have your brain scanned to detect potential terrorist genes and have this data implanted onto the chip? This doesn't prevent terrorism, this is fucking mind control.

This isn't prevention. Prevention is making the pigs do some actual work, so that this kind of thing isn't necessary.

John Smeaton is a real life Action Man. And he's Scottish, represent.
