Introduce Yourself - 2010/2011 *Introductions only, NO CHAT*

KnifeWRENCH

So we have a thread for the freshers coming to UCC, but I thought it would be good to have a thread for everyone here to introduce themselves (or reintroduce themselves) for the coming year. This format has worked on other forums so hopefully it'll work here!
