    Oh ya sorry I'm a 24 year old student, I'm entering my fourth year of a nutritional science degree in UCC and am currently working on the national adult nutrition survey during my summer hols!
    Been veggie since 12 or 13 but fell of the wagon also when I was around 19 for jus under a year and had a bite of a chicken burger before than when I was 5 and very drunk.
    I love animals and so choose not to eat em even though they taste lovely.
    I have a vegan boyfriend of nearly five years and 5 cats and a sheepdog and we all live in the country and eat homwgrown vegetables for dinner every day.
    Became vegan again at christmas and I feel f*ckin great!

    This Saturday! see: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055613338&page=2 The idea is that we pick up some food and have a picnic (I'm bringing vegan cake along too!). It's Dublin city, and I see that you attend UCC, so I guess you might have to travel a bit, but raah! will be travelling up from Cork so you won't be alone! Looking forward to Saturday!!!

    I am raah!. I was able to fully be a vegetarian when I went to live in dublin and control my diet. I'd prefer to be lacto vegetarian, but my parents feed me nothing but eggs now :). I'm a mathsy physics student. This is a picture from new years, I couldn't really find any other ones . My name is Daniel.

    Good show! I've since shaved my hair though, and broken my nose a second time :D, and have a dreadful pile of fluff on my face. But I'll probably look like that soon enough again. Nice to see all you other vegetarians aswell.

    :) I guess raah! is a very gender neutral name, perhaps a capital would fix that wagaon. unfortunatly I'm in trintiy, but maybe you can start a "dublin" vegetarian society fotr studyents, I'll bring some beans.

    So perhaps to get to know everybody that frequents here and to help everybody recognise each other for future boards meets we will have this picture and info sticky. So you can put pictures of yourself here, description of your diet, age, location, career, whatever and how much you are comfortable sharing, no more! Feel free to post updates or new photos too, whatever you want.

    Some of you may not know how to post a picture on here so I'll do a quick run through first. You go to a website like www.photobucket.com or one of the others like flickr and you make an account. You are then given the option to upload pictures off your PC to your album. The site will then give you a link with the picture under it. To post it on here you paste the link in a post and write [?img] at the start of it and [/?img] after it, without the "?"s. So it might look like [?img]www.photobucket.com/picture.jpg[/?img]. If anybody has trouble let me know and I'll help you out, but I imagine most know how to by now. You can also just link to bebo/facebook whatever if you wush to show the photo that way.

    So anyway I had better start it off since I am making the thread.


    I am from Sligo, I have been a vegetarian for 5 years, maybe a vegan one day but that might take some years. I am vegetarian for many reasons, mostly ethical and environmental. When I started out all I ate was meat and it's taken me these years to get used to a vegetable diet. I would never go back now, it's fun to eat what I eat and try/cook new meals, and it makes me much happier than I would be if I still ate meat.

    I have recently turned 23 and graduated a year ago with a degree in Electronic & Computer Engineering from NUIG.
    So I lived for 4.5 years in galway and I am back in Sligo now. At the moment I am looking for a masters course/job, preferably in the capital, am studying for future certifications and learning to drive!

    This is me on the left(you can tell by paleness):*
    It is from a year ago when myself and my class visited Edinburgh.

    48992371a9211298454l.jpg

    I'll refrain from other pictures until other people post! You might even see the full face one day :eek:

    *Not me really, just googled 'male model', i'm really a girl, honest, yes...

    Cool haircut - Very Thurston Moore.. i'm not a veggie.. don't eat meat every day, love vegetables & meat & Thurston & live in Sligo. Not gay, but if I see you wedged between a couple of nice grilled peppers, I might be tempted to chew on your leg!!

    Um, I suppose I'll take the compliment. I realise even dudes can not resist the charm. My hair nearly always looks like Thurston Moore's, but better. sexy beast. :p

    I think I have lurked long enough!
    I've been reading this forum (and others) for a while but have never posted...
    I'm Cathy, 22, from Galway. I'm living in Edinburgh now but I'll probably be back home soon because I can't get a job :(
    I've been vegetarian all my life. Would be vegan but I eat a shocking amount of milk chocolate.
    Donnie Scribbles is this magnificent kitty!

    2936268530Some of my former housemates use this as their username on other sites so I hope there is no confusion! I set up this account to sell an amp on adverts.ie and never really thought about it...
    Anyway, hello :)

    Hi Cathy, nice of you to join us! You are not the Cathy I know from galway are you?

    Hi, thanks for all the welcomes!
    I have the answer to all your problems! Vegan milk chocolate!!
    Hello Aoifums :)
    Is it made with soya milk? I tried a different brand of soya milk chocolate before and wasn't impressed! Where do you buy it? There's some great health food shops over here, I'll have a look for it.
    Welcome Cathy! Always glad to hear that you've lurked and liked what you've seen :) Throw in your input! Don't hold back wink.gif
    Hey sweet-rasmus, cheers for the welcome, my input will surely be thrown!
    sorry bout the job fail frown.gif i love edinburgh, living there must be awesome!!! :)
    Hi also, Maameeo (how do you say that?!)
    Yeah, there's a lot more jobs than at home but also a lot more people going for them! But Edinburgh's great, beautiful city, great for cycling and cinema!
    Hi Cathy, nice of you to join us! You are not the Cathy I know from galway are you?
    Probably not, I think she is called Cathy on here and should still be lurking too.
    And finally, hello Tar.Aldarion!
    I don't think I know you, I saw your picture a few pages back and I don't think we've met. There are a couple of Cathy's in Galway though, I've met quite a few!

    Multi-quoting is difficult :o
    You're all so friendly! Cheers for the welcomes.

    Nope, no soy in it at all!

    Ingredients
    Raw Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Rice Syrup (17%), Cocoa Mass, Hazelnut, Vanilla, Sea Salt.

    And it's organic and (mostly) fairtrade!

    They sell it in most Nourishes over here.

    I might be moving to Galway. I cant remember if I liked living there really.
    I'd like to be in Dublin, but it doesnt seem to be about to work out for me.

    Doniescribbles...it just takes time to adjust to soyamilk. Pick one and stick to it for a while.
    I love Donnie btw....he looks like he has a black heart :D
