Ah, sweet.

 

 

The 1999 edition

Allison / Lorna / Thérèse / Martyn / Ruth / Michelle / Dad

Allison Barfield

I know many interesting stories about Allie. Sadly, most of them involve her gifting people great physical pain and I really don't want to be next on the list.

Allie (and Chris)How did you meet me? In South Woodford's dining hall, introduced by Clarkson as being an English Lit student (dreaded) and having a friend who forever more will be known to me as Adam's Friend (Nick??) - although you've always strenuously denied it

What is my:

Full name? Could involve Mark, although that may be your brother
Age? 28
Occupation? Journotype
Description? has always put me in mind of a slightly jollier Arthur Dent
Hobbies? Cinema - Star Wars?
Favourite drink? Something with an umbrella in it
Favourite TV show? Got to be something Trekky
Favourite type of book? Fantasy/sci-fi usually - arty, coffee table Shelly/Keats type anthologies for public face
Favourite band/singer? Don't know, strikes as a pop fan - Danii? Kylie? Gina G?

Interesting Adam anecdote: See pretty psychos below - he had a Brian Blessed of a beard for ages it seemed. Chased one of the above for a bit, failed, shaved the beard off and pulled instantly. Luckily you've never looked back (!?)

Future predictions: Suspect you may continue to rise in the ranks at work whilst being loved as a friend and respected by normal, rational women. You will consequently continue to have serial relationships with pretty psychos...so much for the pipe and slippers!

Lorna Ebersole

Lorna is the newest inductee into my circle of so-called friends. Still, she has a surprisingly good grasp of who I am. And she really knows how to make a man feel good about his tiramasu.

LornaHow did you meet me? Through T+M

Interesting Adam anecdote: Hummm....Dunno

Future predictions: Well off, secure...And happy with lovely home and garden in southern UK

*This is probably a typo but given that people actually pay me to do that rubbish, I'll treat it as a cunning joke

Thérèse Gaughan

Thérèse filled this in last year. She's got odder since. I think it's something to do with her impending nuptials to Martyn.

Queen ThereseHow did you meet me? You were the ex-lover of my now fiancé

Martyn Meeks

I've always felt very privileged to be one of the people Martyn likes enough that he gets pissed on Pernod and tells them exactly what they're doing wrong. He does something beyond my comprehension in computers, by the way.

MartynWhat is my:

Full name? Adam Tinworth, I don't know what his middle name is, but I'm sure it's embarrassing like most other people's.
Age? I'm not positive, rumoured to be in his twenties though
Occupation? Professional and freelance liar.
Description? Late.
Hobbies? Roleplaying, Movies, being kind to old people, being late, oh and going out with psycho-hose-beasts, a hobby I have shared.

Favourite TV show? DS9 I think, but probably something like Xena instead.
Favourite type of book? One made of paper.

Interesting Adam anecdote: Interesting, hmmm.... now that's a tough one.*grin*

Future predictions: Having written for all the game lines, major and minor, in White Wolf he will bring to fruition his master plan to take over the entire company.

Ruth Montanaro

Ruth's obsession with Star Wars in the answers below says more about her than me: she was the originator of the fearsome Star Wars drinking game. However, she is now Respectable, because she is Married and has a Child on the Way.

Not her baby...How did you meet me? Went to a party in your house when you still had a beard and you pulled Emma!

What is my:

Full name? Adam 'I had green hair' Tinworth
Age? Older than me
Occupation? journalist
Description? Of what ?
Hobbies? photography
Favourite drink? alcohol
Favourite TV show? No idea
Favourite type of book? Star Wars
Favourite band/singer? Probably something like Abba

Interesting Adam anecdote: First person to throw up at Chisenhale Rd due to the phrase 'red leader to red one' in Star Wars.

Future predictions: Well who knows! You'll probably compile many more what do we all think of Adam pages!

Michelle Sereno

I could be very rude about Michelle because she has raised one of the more embarrassing moments in my life. Instead, I'll just mention how cute her kid (pictured above with Ruth) is and leave her worrying about what I was going to say...

Shell 'n' SamHow did you meet me? Not sure and still trying to figure that one out. Was probably drunk at the time. The college bar was probably responsible.

What is my:

Full name? Adam Tinworth. Can't you remember? It's on the top of your e-mails.
Age? 28
Occupation? Magazine writer bloke for some beer mag.
Description? I can't get the image of the masked summerfest bloke out of my head. Sorry. How about theatrical?
Hobbies? E-mailing, summerfest, old Star Wars movies (and probably new ones too now).
Favourite drink? Before working, you never used to drink tea or coffee but I imagine now that you are partial to the evil coffee monster.
Favourite TV show? Some comedy. Seeing as they are re-running Blackadder, does that count?
Favourite type of book? Fantasy but that's a bit obvious so after that, a classic or two.
Favourite band/singer? A singy dancey one. I bet you like Steps.

Interesting Adam anecdote: I'm too polite to mention the Chisenhale, Kate-Bob, cycling shorts incident so instead...too late, I guess I've already done it. Sorry.

Future predictions: For you...I can see a hazy image. Wait, tents, mud, drunken people...What could it mean? I see a big party... Summer nights in beer gardens....I could just be boring and say success. Maybe even a Kate Aide replacement.

Roy Tinworth

My dad has imparted many pieces of wisdom to me down the years. However, most of it comes down to "do it now, not in a minute", "life isn't fair" and "put your shoes in your bloody room". It's possible that he didn't use the word 'bloody'.

My dadWhere did you meet me? Late at night in Stepping Hill Hospital

What is my:
