 Just got here... Just got here... ahhhh.
Am 27 (and three quarters) and very tall.
I work for a software company... Hope to make the next social as I know exactly zero people here and BBC Prime is already on repeats... and it's rubbish.
Technically British but have been living in the states for the last nine years (uni in Washington DC for 5, working in New York for 4). You might see me limping - the result of having overpriced doctor insert three screws into my left foot.
Am eager to hear any advice on how to find a decent flat that doesn't smell like cat and what some good places to live are. So pls offer advice/opinions on IM, mail or here in the forum.
Am also an avid backgammon player, SCUBA diver and lover of crap jokes.
e.g.
A man walks into a pub and asks the barman for some helicopter flavoured crisps.
The barman looks at him and says... "Sorry mate, we've only got plain"
(See, told you but ROFL every time)
Alex

What's wrong with a house that smells of cat? Mine mainly stinks of cat poo mixed with gone off food. Yummy. I've also been screwed in various locations, including my right foot. Maybe we can compare at the next piss up. (BTW crap joke)

All the more reason to come to Ortakoy and now J4F has no excuse, he will be there!

April 1 OK - April 1st - roger that. I am on the European side. I wish I'd been screwed in different places. Sadly they are little tiny pins  Two aerial's got married.
The wedding was horrible...
...but the reception was great!

Welcome! As a purveyor of corny jokes myself, I'll tell a real stinker now so you don't feel so bad. Have you heard about the new pirate movie? It's rated "Rrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
