About Me

Okay, first the geography lesson. I am Scottish!! I need to get that part dealt with quickly. So many Americans think that "United Kingdom" means "England" I am NOT English and I am not in England. I would not thank you for calling me English. I love Scotland and look forward to our INDEPENDENCE which will happen in 2014.

I'd like to meet

People who are able to make a difference in this world (for the better). Also.......

Interests

The internet and chatting to people. I have an interest in both Physics and Computing / programming and the web. I have not decided what I'd like to do when I leave school. I have a certain passion for everything to do with flight and aviation so maybe I could be a pilot. I have only one "game" on my computer and that is MS Flight Simulator X

Favorite Music

Popular music: If I can whistle it or sing it in the shower then I like it.
I enjoy serious music - the so-called "classics" especially Beethoven and Mahler and a host of others

Favorite TV Shows

Boardwalk Empire, House, Family Guy, Simpsons, Friends, The FBI Files, Forensic Detectives, QI, Mock the Week.

Favorite Movies

Avatar: Truly excellent special effects with 3D but spoiled a little by too many guns and explosions. Hollywood just can't seem to make a movie now without guns and explosions - I guess it's just American culture and pleases the masses.

Favorite Books

Para Handy - Neil Munro
Encyclopedias
Books about Space and the Cosmos

Favorite Quotes

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

"I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy." - George Bernard Shaw

To have spent even a short time with you will be the most lovely gift and is much better than to never have had that at all

You cannot give offence - only take it

Favorite Heroes

I don't think that I have any 'heroes' as such, but do have a strong admiration for those listed in my "I'd like to meet" category. The world needs more like them.

    I have 3 friends. I don't like them though. I do have a sweet side... but it's fake.

    I agree with all of this. Why they call it football when apart from field goals they never put a foot to the ball I don't know. Rugby Union is called Rugby football but never football. In rugby of course there is a lot of kicking during play which is where the football comes in. You're right in rugby union men play with no helmets of padding. It's a much better game.

    There's no need to apologize. Everyone has different tastes! I hadn't heard of that piece before, but upon listening to it found it very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing. :)
    I wanted to share something with you in return. This is The Roots (one of the bands I mentioned earlier);



    Baroque music is my favorite period! Bach and Vivaldi are two of my favorite composers of all time. I often wonder how time-consuming it must have been to write out all music by hand, too. ^_^

    My music taste is pretty unsual too; many people I know (my age) haven't heard of half the artists I like. I like 90's rap such as ATCQ, The Roots, Wu Tang, Big L .. my profile has a way more complete list haha. Plus a little bit of folk/world music; bands like The Neville Brothers, The Chieftains and Inka Marka come to mind. I'm not sure if you've heard of them..?

    I love violin as a solo instrument! Ha but I'm totally biased given it's my main instrument. ^^
    What classical inatruments do you enjoy in particular then? I'm also a fan of the oboe, flute and french horn.

    So what other kind of music d'you like? c:
