Relationship: Met properly around 1999 at Morecambe High School.
Information: This guy is one of the greatest people ever to live. Happy go lucky kind of fellow who some how or other manages to make any situation into something fun. He can never ever get mad at anyone, it always ends up being a joke ( :@ - This is an angry face). Lacks time management skills at crucial times. Always needs something to do and if he has nothing, is willing to pester others. Brought up on a farm so is a country lad by nature but has adapted to town life very well. Tom is currently studying Environmental Science at Lancaster University as he wants to work with animals (probably in an abattoir). It's difficult to sum Tom up in a paragraph, you have to meet this guy to realise how genuinely awesome he is.
Relationship: Met in 1999 at Morecambe High School
Information: Cool, cool guy. Sexy, funny and insane at points. Mexy is currently studying Management at Lancaster University, I thought he was studying Computer Science but it turns out he fluffed that in first year. This lad always has something up his sleeve though. Mexy is bound to be a rich guy in the near future. He informs me that after university he has a job at Visa lined up and he has a master scheme in the works at the moment that and I quote him will "Affect every single person in the UK". I had the pleasure of meeting Mexy in Geography in year 10 and had to suffer Outdoor Ed with him too. This guy is always up for a laugh even if it is at himself because he made up his own nickname, lol. (He says he didn't make up his nickname, meet him and make up your own mind.)
Relationship: Met in 2004 at Stirling University (Living with 2005-06)
Information: What can I actually say about this dude? Neilly is a wonder to be around. Sexual is just one of many words to describe Neilly. Jack D straight, strutting his stuff but always there for you when you need him. Fussy boy at times, loves his hair and clothes. Neil lives in a world where everything is clean and nothing is out of place "If it's not a right angle it's a wrong angle". I could go on for pages about him but I won't. If I could some Neil up in three lines it would be: Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin.
Relationship: Met in 2004 at Stirling University (Living with 2005-06)
Information: "Well, well, well. What a pretty picture Father Crilly has painted. How, how dare you bring shame on this celebration of sheep!" Anything for a laugh Ali will love. Great, great guy. Ali is the kind of lad who will never ever stay in for a quiet night in. Alcohol all the way. If you're not having a good night it's because you haven't drank enough. Enjoys all music generally, as long as there's alcohol and an avid Lost fan. Sadly Ali is a love sick lad, always chasing that special one in his life and one day in the not too distant future he will find them, probably in fresher's week.
Relationship: Met in 2004 at Stirling University (Living with 2005-06)
Information: Truly cool guy. The next Morrissey some say. Kev is the main singer of the second biggest band in scotland, The Contradictions. I have had the privilege to see them live and they are very good. In my first year of university Kev was my next door neighbour. I got to listen to the awesome Radiohead and he had to suffer my weird selection of music but despite all this I really go to know Kev in second semester. He's a laid back fellow who's great to be around.
Relationship: Met in 2004 at Stirling University (Living with 2005-06)
Information: Smoke, drink, smoke, drink and smoke some more. Louis is great to be around. He will do almost anything for a laugh. Louis lives life for the moment, which results in him being normally low on cash. When he puts his mind to it Louis can be an incredibly clever guy. I will be able to fill more in here for Louis after living with him next semester. He did once manage set his head on fire, which was extremely funny.

Always up for a laugh, a fast drive or some cocktails in Revolution. Works in Focus at the minute but is going to be joining the specials soon, we always knew he was going to be a special boy. A trustworthy guy who's there when you want to talk to someone. Real top notch bloke.
