How did you discover #exeter?

Becky, We met on ircnet where I watched people stalk her, then she saw me on ICQ and made me /kill Scorponok, it all started there…

How long have you been chatting in #exeter?
Close to 3 and a half years now, *sniff* The happiest of my life.

What do you do all day?
<song> I’m busy doing nothing, nothing the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do </song>

When I am not busy in my alternate lifestyle of saving asteroids or destroying small babies, I work for the ISP that we all know and love, Demon.

What things frustrate you the most? How do you usually cope with them?

The 2 things that frustrate me most about this planet is:

1) The fashion for fluffy pink tracksuits on ‘girls’. Its not the fashion choice per-se, its the fact that the one unquestionable thing about the person, is that they are not going, nor have they ever been, to a gym. I’m not the smallest person in the world, but I at least make the effort not to wrap my self in the smallest, tightest piece of the most luridly obscene fabric on the face of the planet.

I deal with this, with closing my eyes and driving towards where I think the main offenders will be. This has led to me being barred from many pubs and bus stops in the Southend area.

2) The fact that no matter what I do, what I say, the patent office refuses to accept my applications to patent the the letter Q

There is a lawsuit pending to take this to the human righst convention in Geneva.

How long have you been online and how long have you been on IRC?

The day the postman delivered my 33.6k modem to me on my 16th birthday seems like yesterday, however it appears to have been 9 years ago. I have been on IRC just as long, as thats the only thing my Amiga could run..

Please tell us briefly what personal qualities you bring to #exeter.

I like to think that qualities I bring (I like to call them the ‘Manic Experience’) Is a little but of fun, but serious undertones of cool, calm and collected with a large helping of comedy and a dash of moo.

Serve in a beaker (large) and add salt to taste.

What do you consider to be your greatest achievements to date? Why?

My greatest achievement I think, apart from preventing a race of fish like creatures taking over lower Manhattan would have to be travelling in New Zealand for 6 months and actually doing it and not sneaking home after 2 months like all my friends.

Scorponok asks ‘Do you find that being bald gives you any mutant X-powers?’

It doesnt give me any extra, just amplifies and focusses that which I already possess.

Scorponok asks ‘What sends you into an INCREDIBLE RAGE?’

I find that people who call me bald seem to rank quite highly on this list.

Do you have any interests in real life? If so what are they and how involved are you with them? Do you find your online life hinders or compliments them?

Yes, I do, apart from the whole super hero thing, I am stupidly into kiting and cow racing, I mostly use the internet to stalk prospective cows and other cow owners and bend them to my own wicked ways.

If you were writing an advert for yourself for a dating agency, what would it contain?

Cow loving man seeks lady to help shake milk, must have ability to say m00 at

How do you think other people perceive you in the channel? Do you think your online persona mirrors your real life persona?

I’m not sure, I would like to think my IRC ways are quite similar to real life, apart from the kills of alz, which sadly, I will only be able to do once.

Can you draw a picture of a cow? Please attach evidence in the form of an image file. (jpg, gif, png). You are not allowed to use cowsay or cowthink for this.

Not really… but try this

Simsea asks ‘Would you allow us to rub your head for good luck?’
*He* can, not sure about anyone else.

If you could go on holiday anywhere and any when where would you go and who would you take with you?

I would love to go back to New Zealand, as for the person, for company I’d like to take Peter Hamilton, so I could convince him to write books faster.

Where would you like to see yourself in five years time? Do you think you will be able to achieve it?

Hopefully not in London and not doing IT, a PhD or MD seem the most likely prospects at the moment and only time will tell.

<sara> 1) what’s with the cows?

They are my fluffy bedtime friends.

<sara> 2) what’s with killing alan?

Sport.

<sara> 3) define ‘prick’ without naming anyone you work with
* sara nod
<alz> and without saying “alz”
<sara> 3) define ‘prick’ without naming anyone you work with (or naming alz)

Someone who breaks trusts and friendships.

If you could buy anything what would it be?

A second chance.

What was the least complimentary thing a teacher wrote about you in a school report?

“Tries to be the class clown, but falls just short” (That really hurt )

If you could sum up your experience of #exeter in one word, what would that word be?

Friendly

And finally, who from the channel do you think I should interview next?

The PROMINATOR SUPREME.

Thank you Manic! Please send questions for Prom to the usual address.
