BOOKS/AUTHORS/TYPE OF LITERATURE:
Short stories, particularly from the first half of this century, and
especially ghost/supernatural ones, and 'tec stories. Favourite author is G
K Chesterton.

honest.

There are various depending on what bands you're after. There are a lot
located on egroups if you have a search about. I'm subscribed to several
band-specific, and two general lists. The main general (english
speaking) one is on cohprog, but I can't remember the subscription
method off-hand. If you're really interested I can dig it out.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE NETSCRAPE:
The UPG 2000 Edition
__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: As above.

side of York, some time ago.
GENDER: Things That Belong To The King
LOCATION: Currently, on the Cambridgeshire/Essex border, where I work.
I live in south Cambridge.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5ft 9ish. In theory I'm overweight, but I don't really give
a toss.
CURRENT HAIRCOLOUR/STYLE: Dark brown, and in need of a cut.
NATURAL HAIR COLOUR: Ditto.
EYE COLOUR: Brown (sorry, "a warm earth tone")
PIERCINGS/TATTOOS: None. I am, after all, all sweetness and light. Why
would I want to get involved with that sort of thing?
RELIGION: Born-again atheist.
SIBLINGS: Older sister, younger brother.
CHILDREN: none
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Unchanged since last time.
OCCUPATION: Sequence Finisher.
PETS: none
COMPUTER YOU ARE ON: Neon box, connected to various Digital Unix machines.
FAVOURITES:
hcs1e . Other people may slag it off, but it's always worked for
me. Gunna's quite good too. Better than Scarba.
BOOKS/AUTHORS/TYPE OF LITERATURE:
Tends towards SF, especially Gene Wolfe. Also Banks, MacLeod, George RR
Martin (I saw Nightflyers last night : shite, isn't it?), Martin Millar, Primo
Levi, Mary Russell, Kinky Friedman, Umberto Eco, Borges, Hofstadter, Dennet.
All quite blokish, isn't it?
MAGAZINES:
New Scientist. Stuff from the library at work.
MOVIES/DIRECTORS/ACTORS...:
Repo Man, Subway/
Kurosawa, Kitano, Greenaway, Kevin Smith, /
Bob Peck (sob), Buscemi, Oldman, Roth, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Timothy Spall
POEMS/POETS:
Hurmm. I'm a bit lacking there.
TELEVISION SHOWS:
TOTP, various documentaries, Edge of Darkness, B5.
RADIOS/RADIO SHOWS:
Radio 4 to wake up to, Radio 1 at work and in the evenings sometimes
(but not often enough) and the local radio stations *never*.
SONGS:
Too many to list, I'm afraid.
BANDS/MUSICIANS:
The collection starts with Acid Horse and ends with Zevon. And having
just moved house, I'm wondering if there's too much of it. I was at one
point a Bauhaus completist, I've got loads of punk (including US & UK
HC) records, wodges of post-punk pop and indie music. This morning before
I came out I listened to Looking For Lewis And Clarke, Mimi Goese's version
of Black Hole Sun and a couple of Echobelly songs. Whatever.
PAINTINGS/ARTISTS/WORK OF ART...:
Paolozzi, Mach, Serra.
GAMES(board, computer, others):
Go, Civ . . . I've been slacking a bit lately, so not nearly enough.
In particular, I haven't played Illuminati for years.
PLACES TO VISIT:
Friends in Edinburgh, mainly, although there are so many places I'd
love to go to, like Iceland or central asia.
FOOD AND DRINKS:
Vegetarian food - Mexican's good, and there are some very good
Indian restaurants around here. To drink, cider or beer (real,
rather than keg, if possible, and not usually lager). I tried some
American microbrewed stuff recently, and I was very impressed.
COLOURS:
Colours?
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ:
u.m.a, u.m.r.r, bionet.genome.autosequencing
TO WHICH MAILING LISTS ARE YOU SUSBSCRIBED:
Cambridge ones.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING UPG:
A few years. It all made some kind of sense at the time.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON UPG:
Any of the bitchy ones. In fact, even mentioning the one I remember
most fondly would probably start it up again, so I won't.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES:
Reading, listening to records, delivering large purple butterflies
to workmates, collecting empty coke cans, drinking Irn Bru, nobody's
still reading this, are they?
WHAT'S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO:
Thoughts good : slogans bad.
WHAT'S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK:
Carrying too many record boxes up and down too many flights of stairs.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW:
Laughing about it all.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED:
If I knew what it was, I'd be most of the way there.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET:
My humble and unjudgemental attitude.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU:
I don't know you nearly well enough to tell you that, I'm afraid.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND:
Presence.
WHAT DO YOU HATE MOST IN OTHERS:
Hate's a very strong word. It'd probably have to be something
monstrously melodramatic like "being a Nazi war criminal" or
"having planted Kylie Minogue records in my room just before
a prospective girlfriend visited" before I'd actually hate someone.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE UPG:
As a large glistening purple blancmange, festooned with feathery
blossoms and alive with intricate mouldings, on a vast oaken table
extending the length of a great stone hall hung with rich tapestries,
deep in the hills at the head of the valley of the river . . . who
made up these questions, originally?
ANY QUESTION YOU WOULD LIKE ADDED:
Which question would you be most embarrassed by having to honestly
answer?

__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: Richard
YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: Edward Scissorhands
WEB PAGE URL: http://www.lovecraft.demon.co.uk/
AGE: 25
BIRTHDAY/BIRTHPLACE: 27th December, 1974... in the glorious British town
of Rotherham
GENDER: Male, I think.
LOCATION: My house. In Scotland, just.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5' 10", 174lbs...
CURRENT HAIRCOLOUR/STYLE: Feria #37 ChocolateCherry, long unstyled.
NATURAL HAIR COLOUR: I really can't remember.
EYE COLOUR: Varies.
PIERCINGS/TATTOOS: 1 Ear pierced. What a rebel I am.
RELIGION: General spirituality, Fae, bits of Ascension...
SIBLINGS: 1 sister, 17, spookykid crossed with Trendy.
CHILDREN: 2 boys, Ed and Tom.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Separated, single. Kids with ex-wife, amicable
split by most standards ;).
OCCUPATION: Advertising sales, magazine editor, website designer,
consultant, PR, car sales. And anything else. Self-employed.
PETS: The most beautiful black with white bits cat, called Morticia.
COMPUTER YOU ARE ON: Sony Vaio, boring 7 series model with gutless
266MMX. Otherwise, HP Apollo 425t, or Dell P410.
FAVOURITES:
BOOKS/AUTHORS/TYPE OF LITERATURE:
Stuff that makes me think, or is new. Semi-inspirational books like
'Conversations with God' are around the house at the moment, although
anything too overtly Christian, as opposed to spiritual, is avoided.
Keep trying to read 'A Brief History of Time' and giving up. Bill
Bryson, Terry Pratchett, Iain Banks, Douglas Coupland, Edward Gorey,
Stephen King if I feel my IQ is dropping too low to cope with
sophisticated lit. like Anne Rice ;)
MAGAZINES:
Hmmmm. Car, Top Gear. Select if they're giving away CDs (applies to most
music mags), PSX mags if they have good free things (like my Atari bag.
Gotta love the guy who sticks Atari-logo products on Playstation
magazines!), Triumph World (I like TR7s). Financial Times sometimes.
MOVIES/DIRECTORS/ACTORS...:
Lately, Bicentennial Man, The Man on The Moon, and The Truman Show. Old
stand-bys, definitely Edward Scissorhands, Metropolis by Fritz Lang, any
film with 80s themes. Some things come out of the blue, and I like them
but forget what they are.
POEMS/POETS:
I write poems and hate competition. Actually, I know little poetry.
TELEVISION SHOWS:
Not heavy on TV. Simpsons/Futurama, Sci-Fi stuff, Lexx, Mystery Science
Theatre 3000 when Sci-Fi remembers to show it.
RADIOS/RADIO SHOWS:
Radio 4 plays, Classic FM, those weird music channels you get with Sky
Digital.
SONGS:
Well, the album Semantic Spaces by Delerium, and I'd guess 'Where have
all the cowboys gone' by Paula Cole... and the original Professional
Widow... and Blasphemous Rumours... and Trail of Tears by Clannad...
BANDS/MUSICIANS:
Lots of classical stuff which I can neither spell or remember which ones
I like, Tomita, Tori Amos, Delerium, Depeche Mode, Dead Can Dance,
Tangerine Dream, Gong, Sisters, Mission, Xymox, Korn, Paula Cole, David
Bowie, Adam Ant, Ultravox, Sting... and everything else I forgot.
ARTIST THING:
Everything is original. I like Mondrian, everything else is as it comes.
GAMES(board, computer, others):
Driver. Doom. And lately, Sim Tower *shrugs*
PLACES TO VISIT:
North Wales, America and I half want to see Australia
FOOD AND DRINKS:
Eat for nutrition only, which explains why I eat nothing but crap
processed foods. Drink - Red Bull & Vodka, Snakebite and Black, Earl
Grey Tea, Coffee, and Dr. Pepper.
COLOURS:
black, blue
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ:
alt.gothic, alt.gothic.fashion, alt.gothic.pretentious, rec.autos.misc,
the one for General Motors cars which covers my Caddy, and soon the one
for my Chrysler Neonblob.
TO WHICH MAILING LISTS ARE YOU SUSBSCRIBED:
The Fae lists, though I seem to lurk more than post.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING UPG:
Too long.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE THREAD ON UPG:
The ever recurring Sexbat's birthday debate...
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES:
Playing Cello, keyboards, and CDs. Fixing old cars badly, attempting to
rescue cars that should have been crushed long ago, surviving life,
collecting Beanie Babies (cats and cute ones only).
WHAT'S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO:
*cough* This relates to universal spirit... buuut... it's "I am love,
and all I am is love". It's like, the opposite of love is fear, and
well... unless you're a hippy or very patient, it takes ages to explain
;)
WHAT'S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK:
Hmmm... This question always confuses me. I think... Yeah. That'll do. I
think :)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW:
I don't mind. Being happy, trying to bring happiness around me.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED:
The ability to play music properly, or paint the images I see in my
mind. I lack co-ordination.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET:
Total happiness with myself, therefore capacity to accept others for
whom they are.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU:
Want a list? *laughs* Nothing really, I guess I can be very obsessive.
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN A FRIEND:
Tolerance and awareness of themselves.
WHAT DO YOU HATE MOST IN OTHERS:
I don't. I try to avoid people with serious jealousy issues.
HOW DO YOU PICTURE UPG:
Like chaos in a bottle.

Ok, ok....how about a game of rugby?
Come on, last time I saw a goth being called a whimp....he (i think
iit was a he) kicked the crap out of the boy I was with. Well this boy
deserved it and all but there was a certain surreal humility to seeing
one of yer favourite bald mates being done over by a pouting , makeup
clad vamp wannabe.
P.S. Turns out he was a professional boxer for two years prior to
this.
