my Celtic brother makes a valid point.

They don't have their own parliment (it's the British Parliment not England's), they don't have a national museum or Gallery, they don't have a national anthem so they use the British one. Sure they have their own flag, but most of the time they use the union jack especially when on holiday in Magaluf or the Costa del Sol.

They have Manchester United.

That's all well and good, but what do we know about Duksie at the moment? Not much. So please Duksie, would you like to tell something about yourself? I promise we won't laugh .

[Marduk]

I assumed you were talking to somebody else in this thread but it's just occured to me that the last 3 letters of my name are duk... Am I 'Duksie'?

[tsa]

Yes dear, when we like people here we often put a 'sie' in their name.

[Trumgottist]

(A practice not everyone is involved in, though. Please never do that to me.)

[Jelena]

So you wouldn't like us to call you Trumsie then......

[Trumgottist]

Exactly.

(Or me, for that matter. Particularly because I already have a doubleplus cutesy username on these forums. But nobody likes me anyway, so I guess I'm safe. )

Well, my name kind of ends with "sie", people usually just call me "Fantasie".

Hey, I have my own name for you: Squinks. And that's because I like you. So there!

[tsa]

Listen to your mother Squinks.

By the way, I like you too Trumsie

That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't it be "Fansie"? (pronounced "fancy")

[Trunkyo]

I've been calling my dear niece Fantsie (with a "t", same pronuncation) for months... it's either that, or "Brit-twit".

quicksie?

[Marduk]

I guess it's better than "Marsie", which might be construed as an alternative spelling for a United State'ian girls' name. (I nearly called myself 'Akercocke', which I used to use a lot, but after a while I grew self conscious of the certain 4 letter word hidden, with no abundant discretion, in the last syllable. 'Akersie' wouldn't have had much of a ring to it, so I suppose it would have been 'cockesie', or something).

I really don't know what to say about myself, though.

OK, here's what we'll do...

I had made a list of a few more details about myself, but I've never really been good at talking about myself (my interests, maybe, but not myself) and I think this will be more fun.

Everybody gets to ask 1 question of me and I'll do my best to answer it honestly and with some detail. ("Some detail" means I'll give full sentence answers; I'll try not to hit you with pages of stuff). If you think what you're asking me might be [very] personal then please be respectful and give me an out; say something like "you don't have to answer this if you don't want to".

[Fantasysci5]

Uncle Trunk!!!! lol (Trunkyo is my creepy uncle #3, I believe.) We're very close here on the forums. lol

My name's Katie, by the way, have I already said that? lol Okay, this isn't too personal of a question, more "professional". You didn't list your favorite games on your profile. What are a few that you love, or at least the series, or types of games?

I really do dislike "Trumsie".

Ok, I'll go first (or probably not - I got sidetracked by a mail announcing a blog comment while writing this post, so I expect to find others to have beaten me to it): I'll pick a music question, and ask you to introduce yourself musically. By which I don't mean that you should do so in a song, but feel free if you want to. Do you play? What do you listen to? (If that's too broad a question, just answer with a favourite band/artist.)
