It makes me feel excited. Mostly because I used to lurk a lot back on Jolt. And some of the people I most respected back there are returning.

I'm DI. I hate debate, and as such have sworn a solemn pact to contribute nothing constructive here and instead focus on snark, bad puns and occasional outbursts of ill-targeted burning rage. If you're reading this, it's highly likely that I don't like you. I only post on NSG and F7, and if you say 'RP' to me my head will start spinning around and green projectile vomit will fill the room. I've been here a few years, so unless you have as well, I'm better than you. I'm also well-known in real-life for being almost offensively nice to people, so if it ever looks like I'm being a total arsebucket it's probably satire or I'm just playfully messing with you. But it's not because I like you, okay? :blush:

Although, I don't think those are root vegetables.

At present I am Waterlow, a 31-yr-old Londonistani alcoholic of the socially acceptable persuasion. I've posted erratically across a few of the NS forums for some six years under various guises, my crowning achievement being to repeal common sense (not that many of you will have noticed, I suspect).

I'm often drunk and/or restless when I post, hence the frequently perverse/unsuccessful attempts at humour and occasional bouts of inexplicable rage followed swiftly by shame-faced apologies. I like the sex threads (see sig).

I never seem to linger long enough to get to know folk round these parts, though I've met plenty of non-Generalite NSers in the past. I don't expect to have made much of an impression.

Waterlow is a pretty park near my home. It has lovely trees.
