Name (that you go by): Cúchulainn, The Hound of Ulster, Conor (Anglicized), Conchobar (Irish Gaelic).

Age: 17

Occupation: Full Time layabout. (A student)

Future Aspirations: Get rich or die trying! Maybe Journalism.

Goal in life: Family, security and a nice house somewhere in the country to retire to.

Short term goals: Passing my A-Levels and getting a job.

Passion: Irish History and politics as well as reading.

Hobbies: Reading, listening to music, surfing the net, drinking, chatting with my muckers and uhmm the odd bit of sport.

Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): My drunken antics on the Walls and my politics.

Fave book: Hard one, my favourite fantasy book (So far) is definitely The Lord of the Rings (Including the hobbit). The Fellowship of the Ring would be my favourite out of that. Non fantasy would be maybe Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor or The Year of the French by Thomas Flanaghan, both are works of Historical Fiction, my favourite genre.

Fave movie: Mmm, again very difficult. The LOTR and Star War's trilogys are up there, but I have to say that my favourite movie would probably be....... The Wind that Shakes the Barley, at the moment anyway.

Fave sport: Pool, Football, Gaelic and Hurling (sometimes).

Fave store: Amazon.co.uk

Fave music: Irish traditional, classic rock and abit of everything really EXCEPT rap.

What you can't stand: Rap, chavs, bigots, self-righteous people, snobs, most kinds of vegetables.

What you plain dislike: See above ^^

Who you admire: Humanitarians (Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Bob Geldolf lol, etc etc). Also, the whole pantheon of Irish patriots.

What you most love to do: Travel the world, see new places, achieve change through politics, write a book, have a family and a well paying job.

Your self-confessed flaws: Tempermental when provoked, often stubborn with maybe too much pride, and fairly lazy.

What intrigues/fascinates you: History, morality and the unknown...

What scares you: Blind nationalism, nuclear war.
