Meaning behind your username: I first joined PHPBuilder before internet.com took over and piers had already been taken. When I was asked to re-register, I got confused, didn't think piers would be available and bythe timeI figured out that it was a new board, I had notched up quite a few posts and couldn't be bothered to start over. Oh, and piersk comes from my first name and my surname 😃
Favorite quote: My first name is Bad.... Last name Luck (old I know)

Type of car you really drive (the truth please): See above
Fav alchoholic beverage: Good ol' Mr Daniels

If you have any superpower in the world, what would it be, and why? TO be able to control fire. Not like Pyro in X2, but like that bloke in season 1 (maybe two) of the X files (remember that?). Why? It'd just be cool
Unique talent: Does reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in three hours count?
Most embarrassing moment: My dad whenever he's drunk. (luckily I don't live at home anymore)
Write a sentence that ends with 'about 5 inches.': The span of my hand is about 5 inches (see, I'm not always rude. 😃 )

I saw it here just minutes after it got created, but decided to wait for sometime, so that mine is different from everyone

daynah

poke You should closed your bold tags. ^_

So why did you choose the bouncy balls as your avatar? 😉

piersk

The bouncy balls are a rip-off of a gif I found on our union bulletin board. That gif had just one ball and so i edited it so there were two bouncing in opposite directions.

I have a really bad reputation for bein dirty minded don't I. Can't think why...

Anyway, the reason I don't come on IRC at the moment is because the only computers I have access to at the moment are on campus and they frown upon IRC.

Getting broadband in my house soon tho 😃

Give me some credit. Nothing can beat the original.

Elizabeth

Two words. Jason Statham.

He definitely beats the original, and it earned him a place in the elite Elizabeth's top 5.

Is that along with me, Stolzy and Dalecosp?

Actually, where is Dale? I haven't seen him around for a while...

Well, here I am. And I've been on /freenode#phpbuilder, but I noticed you said you'd quit that.

Summertime, y'know...I've lots on the platter, and most of it's outside. Except work.

And work. The more I talk here, the less $$ I bring in. I know have a little flashing red number that pops up whenever I open my intranet site and log in, and it keeps telling me to "work harder, play less, or when the bank starts charging interest in Jan '05, you'll be up to your eyeballs in debt...."

Enough of that.

I in no way expect to be on Elizabeth's top 5. I'm just honored to know her and speak to her when appropriate. If we both find time.

That in no way means I hate Piersk, either. Life's funny, eh?

[edit]What changed? Ex-g/f? "I'm sorry?" or "I'm glad you got that straight?"[/edit]

Should I rent "the Italian Job" and become more culturally enlightened?
