My name is Miles.
Random stuff 'bout me:
I have lived in Nottingham all my life and don't think a lot of it.
I am in Year 11 (5th year) at Carlton-le-willows comprehensive, I am currently 15.
I took History, Geography & French for GCSEs along with the core subjects, and I wish I'd never taken history now :(
I volunteer at the preserved GCRN line
I like class 47s, I dislike all trains built after 1997 apart from 185s
I cannot stand hospitals
I do not support any political UK party, they're all as bad as each other (although if you were to force me - I'd pick Lib Dem)
My favourite season is Winter
I hate the heat
Outside the UK I've been to: Holland, Portugal, France.

Some people seem to think I have a Scottish alter-ego who works for NXEC. However this is completely untrue (he doesn't work for NXEC now) :lol:

Yes.

I like Oreos.
I love Snaps (the old Walker's crisps) but after eating them in a morning I always feel ill.
Three RailUK members have visited my house. Quite a few have met my mother.
I enjoy writing random things about my self.
I love questions! Asking and being asked.
There is an annoying girl at college that follows me.
There is a picture of a MML HST as my phone background.
I have a little Buddha on my desk. It was my Gran's.
I only recently found out what my exact bra size is.
I have nothing to do after college, so I spend my whole night on the interenet.

Oh, okay. Medical ones from me:
I'm currently taking Ferrous Sulphate and Fluoxetine Hydrochloride.
I've been in an ambulance once for chest pains. Turned out I was just constipated.
I'm underweight.
I never feel well, but the doctors don't know what's wrong with me.
I have really bad head rushes where I completely lose my vision and sense of balance.
I have had the chicken pox.
I get migraines.
I get travel sickness on anything that moves. Sometimes even trains.
One of the main reasons that I never feel well is the fear of feeling unwell.

I dislocated my left hip years ago and its now pinned with a 2ft "spike" so I have very little rotation in my pelvis. I have worked in transport since I left school apart from a stint in a supermarket which was crap. I am pyrophobic (yet I smoke, work that one out!), been a trade unionist and a socialist since I can remember so unsurprisingly I despise Margaret Thatcher, I have a cat called Stan, I drive a stupidly large car and I own a bus.

I support Charlton, love cricket, hate rugby and still kind of like WWE wrestling (beats any soap opera)

*shrug* if it's all about continuing...

Never been to the dentist for anything other than routine checkups - was lucky enough to grow up with straight teeth and no need for braces!

I've broken my wrist, and several bones in the top of my foot. I suffer from migraines and semi regular nosebleeds as a result. I was taken to hospital as a 3 year old when I jumped off a bunk bed and mashed my skull off a radiator.

I used to be pretty good at football (wouldn't believe it from my current build!), I still have my league winners trophies somewhere. I played goalkeeper and centre back.

Contrary to popular it would seem belief, I do not and never have played rugby.

I've kept fish for many years - they're all fairground fish and they're all at least 8 years old as well as being standard gold fish - although one has grown to be about 7 inches long! One of my cats that's now deceased once killed one of my fish because my clever mother left it on the side in the kitchen in an open bowl.

I'm a lot more sensitive than I sometimes appear, but I'm still not 'squeamish' and never have a problem doing what's necessary whatever the situation. If something goes wrong when you're with me you're usually in good hands (last time we met I believe I lugged all the crazy kit Shauna carries around from Euston to Waterloo for her). I suppose I'm a traditional bloke in that I'm awful at showing emotion and sharing my feelings.

I'm not keen on long car journeys or coach journeys. Not a regular occurance but I've been occasionally known to get travel sick.

I've owned a PlayStation of some description since they were first released in the UK - I currently own a PS2.

I carry plenty of scars generally because of my ineptitude with saws during D+T at school. My fingers are horrendous. I also have several more including a rope burn on my right arm from felling trees.

I value loyalty to my mates extremely highly.

I was having a bevvy in my mates house, but because his parents were in I wasn't staying the night. So I would have been leaving at around 2am. In the end, his parents ended up going to their caravan in The Lakes. So I stayed overnight.

Got home next morning and found out that someone had been shot in our street at 2.15am. If his parents hadn't have gone away, i may have been caught up in it.

I've had a 8 foot piece of Drift Wood stuck in the top of my foot
Never broken any bones
Had braces and was told to wear them for an additional 2/3 years to 'perfect' my teeth - never did and thus teeth are slightly wonky
Support Manchester United though family reasons but recently I've found Football League far more entertaining with the terraces and support my home club, Macclesfield Town.
Renowned in the family for eating lots (went through 3 roast dinners plus breakfast and lunch once) and never gaining weight
Only been in a Physical Fight once to support my cousin in a massive street brawl, quite entertaining but I'm a person who can solve differences in words
My 6th Senses is predicting weather and bra sizes
Was good at Football due to my pace but for some reason never went into a team.
Have a PC upstairs that takes 10 minutes to load up the internet and crashes frequently but I still refuse to reformat it.
I drive a Citroen Saxo but I'd prefer something a bit 'sportier' and have a more solid feel on the Road such as a Ford Fiesta or Corsa C/D.
Clean Driving License which I've held for 7 months.
I work in a Hotel and help staff remove wedding drunks at 3am in the morning, I find it very entertaining.
Finally, I have a Tabby Cat called Lucy. She likes People and Pendolinos.
