Cos I've got this in my back garden



Horse chestnut or "conker" tree, they're just starting to drop now. It was a novelty the first year we lived here, now it's a pain in the ass.
conkerking is online now

I gave myself the nickname Auravir in highschool, thinking it meant "airman". Only later did I learn that "aura" means heaven, or breeze. I guess the name stuck.

Pong was the first video game ever made back in the early 1970s, and the forerunner of all video games. Kind of stupid but that was the first thing that I thought for a username when I registered.

God I would play that game for hours. I don't think I could last a few minutes now


I made this nic up for "Talk City" back in 98 - it was the first combination with "Viking" that was not taken that I could find.

Hi again Holly. Small World! I'm originally from the North East, near Newcastle upon Tyne, but I now live in Cheshire, just over the border from Staffordshire and only about 20 miles from Newcastle under Lime!
