Well, quite frankly, I've went along and read lots of forums and we are incredibly nerdy. I imagine every single person with a refined accent when I read their posts, and most, if not all of us, try to sound as smart as possible. Which ticks me off because some people are dim and only know a quater of the words they are saying. Sure, the rules call for some medium-long posts and not small posts, but they don't tell us to throw ever ounce of our brain at the computer monitor and burn our fingers typing.

My age: 15
Height: 6'8 (I'm flipping huge)
Weight: I'm not sure, but last year I was the right weight for my age and size combined, last time I check I was somewhere around 55kg, and I'm pretty lanky. And yes, that 55kg is muscle. Pfft, at my size only about %20 of it is chubby-ness.
Male, if it matters.

Read people's bios if you want to decide an archetype for us all.
Also, your mates know our type. They've been here before >:3

Oh, and of course, I'm British. Proper British. Scot, Welsh, Irish, and English. God I hate it when they call me British in referrence to 'English',

I am Irish and I hate when someone refers to Ireland as British. We are not part of Britain.

[nothingspringstomind]

Age:25
Race:British (with a greek/norse background)
Height:6'
Weight:Fat bastard, but also quite muscular.

My dress sense is usually Jeans and a (Usually) Game related T-shirt. I read a hell of a lot of heavy science fiction, a bit of a muso (singer in about four bands throughout my life so far.) I practice some basic martial arts and spend most of my time reading (other than sci fi) books on philosophy, religion, the games industry, music, music history among others. I'm an anime fan (but not weird with it) i have a fiancee who i'm marrying next year, and don't typically *look* like a nerd. I'm very sociable (sometimes to my detriment.) And i've been *told* i'm one of the smartest people in the country (personally never really had faith in tests that predict I.Q.)

Oh, and i'm what has been called a "closet nerd" i.e. i can hold a conversation perfectly well with "normal" people, but have a room full of Videogame/Sci-fi/Anime memorabelia back at home.

I know England and Ireland have not gotten along well usually due to common rivalries and such, but Ireland is part of Britain. It depends on where you are. Southern Ireland is it's own independent nation, while the North is territory of the UK. Northern Ireland is mostly recognized because, unlike the south, it's involved in a lot of things, such as the RWC, while the south isn't. You most likely are part of Britain

I am not normally one for answering back comments like this (or posting as I think it is a waste of time but however.. a few points.

I am irish and by that I mean from southern Ireland.
Ireland is separated into two countries. Ireland and Northern Ireland. Notice how we differentiate between them. The Northern part gives it away.
Saying that Ireland is part of Britain is completely wrong 100%. Northern Ireland is part of Britain. You may as well say that France or Germany is part of the UAE.
As for Ireland and England not getting on, nearly all of that is in the past and now we are more than civil neighbors.
We do get on well with all our neighbors but that has no bearing here.

As a by the way I am not republican. I am nationalist however just so you know i.e. I do love my country. Also most people from northern Ireland who associate themselves with Ireland call themselves Irish and those who associate themselves with England call themselves British. In fact I do not know of anyone who does not do this in one way or another.

In any case it is and probably always will be a contentious issue in whichmeans it will never be resolved here. Apologies for the rant, it is an issue that was raised with me more than once when I lived abroad by people who neither understood geography or history, by that I do not mean you, I do see where you are coming from as well.

I find what your friends said stereotypical. I am social, I go out and hang out with as many people as possible, usually. I can communicate with any type of person and people tell me I'm generally hilarious and likable. I am also addicted to social networking.

I just also love video games, music, anime, comic books, and most of geek culture.

It's just who I am.

It's good to see this conversation is civil, and I do understand how you must be when you're referred to as a part of Britain. Just a helpful suggestion, when you say you're irish, perhaps mention being southern Irish as well? Hopefully the person you get into a comment line with should know the difference between the two. Nice chatting with you.

I heard a statistic the other day that said if you play video games for more than 2 hours a day (on average) then you are overweight. Obviously a poorly formed statistic, especially since a lot of my friends who are also gamers are fit, gym goers who play sport (often with me).
