Welcome New members! The 'Introduce Yourself' Thread....

[impearse (Ian Pearse)]

Here's the entry I've just added to the Rebel Rumblings site...:

"Hello, all, I'm Ian and I've recently applied to join - my costume (Han Solo) is being vetted at the moment. I think it won't pass yet but I'm working on the Mark Two version which I hope will be OK. I have been a Star Wars fan since I saw the original film, but have not got into costuming until this year, when the adverts for Celebration Europe came along. I (half-joking) said let's go in costune, and my long-suffering headed for the sewing machine. My children went as Jedi minus cloaks, as we ran out of time. I went as Han Solo, with a home-made gun belt and holster and blaster from a resin kit. My wife had a similar costume to mine. We had a great time, it was a good show and great to see so many people in excellent costumes. I looked up the Rebel Legion on the Internet after the show and here I am.

By day I work for British Airways at the head office near Heathrow airport. My hobbies include sci-fi of all sorts, and sci-fi related model making (working on a cut-away Millenium Falcon and a Star Destroyer at present), as well as aviation - I'm a keen flight sim pilot. "


In additon to that, I can add:
Favourite Drink (alocholic): don't drink much but like a good real ale.
Favourite drink (soft): tea! What else for a real englishman?
Favourite game system: PC.. my son keeps me off the PS2
Year of Birth: 1960
Location: Ashford, Middlesex
Favourite food: almost anything
Favourite book: difficult, but "The Space Machine" by Christopher Priest is up there...
Favourite Author: none, realy, I just like a good read
Favourite Game: at present, Silent Hunter IV
How did I get into Star Wars: I saw the first film - 'nuff said
