I'm not just a geek, I take it to all-new levels it seems...Watch my Wild Western video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lva3rVQyNS0 since you ask...) and listen to the bellowing. Then you decide just what level of geek you think I am...

Bellowing, for the unknowing, is a basher term (AFAIK) from the 1980s; it is the act of shouting out of a droplight (usually back then in MK2s behind locos of all varieties), usually including terms such as 'Hellfire!' or 'My Lordz!'. I believe bellowing is also something that was done in Victorian times, in that you would get a pair of bellows out to do something with them (I forget what, lighting a fire comes to mind).

Apart from trainspotting, I do like going out and getting drunk (although money is not so forthcoming to allow me to do so at this time) as well as general socialising.

Nah, I guess I'm just a geek, although I never revised for any of my GCSEs, yet passed them all. After that though...Less said the better. Still made it to university, twice. Dropped out twice though.

Actually, that's how I know I am a geek...When I was working in Pizza Hut I was rather keen on knowing all of the stupid little things like amount of toppings on a pizza, temperatures required of food, temperature of oven...All that kind of thing.

Voting geek now irrespective!
