Thought it might be cool to have an introduction thread, for the benefit of all the newbies who are set to descend on us... anytime now. Maybe we could sticky it? I'll go first, while I'm here.
*gets nervously to feet*
My name is Katy and I'm a dwarfaholic. I live in Yorkshire, enjoy cheese and very occasionally get just a tiny little bit argumentative. I dislike dog spit, idiots, knob ends, sweetcorn, Mumford and Sons, spiders, Gap, shoes, and crime drama. My favourite colour is blue but I don't like tories, and my favourite number between 1 and 10 is 11. I also enjoy naked volleyball and banana hammocks.
Who's next?

My name is Henriette, and I too love cheese and dwarves. My favourite animals are badgers and ferrets and I'm currently attempting to genetically engineer a ferret-badger hybrid. No luck yet. I enjoy a good whipping and I have Denmark's largest collection of nipple tassels and toenail clippings. I dislike Andy Parsons, seafood and knees.

How am I supposed to follow that?
My name is Kirsten, I live in London now, but grew up in Zimbabwe. I love roast potatoes, liquorice allsorts, rosé and banoffee pie. Favourite colour is coral orange. I dislike way too many things to comprehensively list here, but somewhere at the top of the list are people who drive badly, spell badly and who are rude, so just people in general then. I'm now a photographer (weddings and portraits). I won't tell you what I used to do for a living.
Should we mention music? Nah ...

My name is Kerry. I am 33 and three quarters. I’m shit at maths but I love ice cream, Frightened Rabbit, vodka, football and the Pret Christmas sandwich. I hate Cashley Cole, pebble dash, 3 for 2 offers (what was wrong with 2 for 1???), the tube during rush hour and when your pants lose their elastic and go grey in the wash. I once broke my arm trying to ski with a broomstick.
In my spare time I’m supposed to be writing but I invariably end up watching X Factor or the endless loop of Friends on E4.
I’m hoping to make friends and recruit for my cult.

Howdo, I'm Chris. I'm nearly 53 and also like the little folk. I like 'em so much I fucked one once. ;D I spent nearly 3 years in jail for attempting to kill someone so watch what you say to me. I can't stand some people but there's too many to have me type their fucking names out. I've been abroad once but didn't like it so I stay in mens clothes now. If you've had prawn crackers stay out of my personal space as you stink. I don't like the XFuctor, I do like I'm A Celebrity GMOOH tho'. I like proper beer and girly wine. That's it!

I'm perfectly normal. I'm also German, which evens that out. I like posh things like reading and Stephen Fry, and I hate casting shows. I think B&Q is where bad people go when they die. Dwarves scare me. I read the Times and am everything Katy hates.

Hi, I'm Debbie...I'm originally Canadian but am now a Londoner. I sit on the fence when it comes to dwarves but I do love a good nipple tassel.
I'm 4 months pregnant with my 2nd baby but look about 8 months pregnant so I'm told. I love most American Drama shows from HBO, most angry men with guitars, red wine, travelling, ice hockey and the MIGHTY ARSENAL.
I despise people who won't give me a seat on London transport regardless of how far I stick my belly out, most female solo artists, Star Trek and Star Wars equally and have a history of bearing my breasts in public.
Welcome!

my name is Sean and I am an alcoholic... oh wait, wrong meeting! I'm from Wales, so please feel free to hold that against me and make crude references to sheep and cheese on toast and all that. It's the least I expect! I sing songs, and people pay me. Sorted! I also enjoy smoking, drinking, smoking AND drinking, and public displays of utter uninhibited indecency. That's about it really. Next!

oh dear. I am so normal and boring it would really appear as though I don't fit in with you crazies. Except I love crazies, so I am here. I used to be wild and fantastic and go on multi-day drinking binges, things like that. Now I just cook and clean and change diapers and make bottles and play on the internet- when it's working. I like flowers, sailing, getting tan, expensive face creams to combat the sun damage, Twilight, wine, my two lovely children, cooking, grocery stores that give you points for each dollar spent and then put out a catalog of stuff that you can buy using those points, reading, Ingo Maurer and collecting perfumes. I am pretty happy most of the time, despite my occasional whining about stupid stuff and I am also less superficial and vapid than my interests would indicate.

My name is Dave (go figure), I'm 47 born and bred in Liverpool, and much prefer cheese to dwarves. I regularly forget who or where I am around tea time on a Sunday due to alcoholic intake, and I have a surplus of unused spades now a certain person has pissed off back to Costa Rica for good. Oh, and I have met Karo.

I'm Heather and obviously getting old as I had to work out what age I am (32). Still no grey, though, which I'm mightily pleased about.
Don't go in for dwarves much myself but each to their own. Until a year ago was a born and bred city dweller but we upped sticks to a rural corner of the Highlands and don't plan on leaving. Although if they don't build some shops and Starbucks soon, that plan might change.
Got two boys, a husband, 3 fish and a cat. Hopefully the number of fish will diminish some time soon. The arrival of the cat might help hurry that along. I'm a lady of leisure by day (aye, right!) and according to my youngest, sell myself at night.
And Dave up there looks like my dad.

i'm mary and i belong to weight watchers, oh wait, wrong thread.
i'm mary and i'm 51 years old (how did that happen??). i just had to do the math because i thought i was only 50, whatever.
i'm pretty boring and not at all wild, that's why i come on here, i live vicariously through yall.
i have 2 boys who are both living at home right now, 22 and 18. the 18 year old will be going to college next year, don't know where yet, or as my hubby calls it = AFC (any fucking college that will take him). my 22 year old recently graduated from college and is looking for a job. i'm thrilled to have him home again but it's a little dangerous because he is of drinking age and is more than happy to kill a bottle of wine with me while i cook dinner.
i love to work out (yes really!), read, watch movies and shop. yes, really.
i love perfume too, courtney, what's your favorite lately?

Suppose i should do a bit of waffling about myself rather than just dash the hope and dreams of others...and i guess I'd start by saying i enjoy dashing the hopes and dreams of others. if im going to be miserable i dont see why i shouldnt drag others down with me. when im not bullshitting about dashing peoples dreams i can generally be found watching sport. shamrock rovers and arsenal being my two most prominent addictions. dvds, music, books & cinema all click the boxes and a load of other crap i wont bore ye with. i enjoy hearing about dwarves but have no specific liking for them beyond that. cheese is a bit shit in my opinion. i collect all my copper coins in an old tin i got a bottle of jack daniels in and i dread the day i have to count them all. eggs are the best food on the planet by the way
