well I'm from Truro - but we moved from there to Bristol when I was 1 so I don't remember much of it  ;D

Grew up near Bristol, did 2 years of a degree in Newcastle (the proper one where the locals talk funny  ;), back to Bristol, then moved with a job to a few locations and have ended up in Chatham in Kent.

Now working for the local council, running their internal phone systems - I spent about 7 years prior to that working for the company that makes their phone systems which comes in handy  :)
You don't look old enough  :D
I thought that aswell, at the Brackley cambelt party I thought he was Tunnie ::)

You pair of Creeps.. you after your Cam Cover Gaskets Doin Again ;D

I'm originally from Poole, Dorset but spent most of my life (25 yrs) in Derby. I'm working as an IT Trainer for Derby College, specialising in MSOffice.

Born and bred in Boston, Lincolnshire... Now i'm an ex-student, just graduated in Motorsport from Cov Uni (2:1 Hons).

Moving in with girlfriend in Ealing, London in a couple of weeks, trying for a few jobs down there as we speak.

Hopefully will be doing something worthwhile (other than fixing the mega) by the end of the year!!

Orginally from Richmond, Yorkshire but moved to Dorset 13 years ago.  Been out of uni for nearly 2 years and spent 18 months of that time living and working as a highway engineer in Middlesbrough.  Recently moved to Blandford, Dorset (both my parents and my wifes parents are here and we need the free childcare for our new littlun) and got a job in nuclear decommissioning.  Very interesting work, and I have yet to start glowing green.

I was an early DTTV adopter and got a company called CAS involved who were an early DTTV contracter.

Anyway I will have some multi transmitter questions later :)
