I'm Daniel, I'm 19, 20 on the 1st February. (Getting old! Urk!)..

I'm originally from Oldham, Lancashire. I moved to Cheltenham where I work at the Int. Headquarters of the Elim Pentecostal Church, I do most jobs, ranging from Accounts Assistant/Insurance, to being the IT/Security manager, right down to moving desks around for people.

Being 6ft 1, everyone assumes it's fine to ask you to move furniture, Even man-mountains have pain thresholds *g*

I now live in Swindon, Wiltshire, but still work in Cheltenham at Elim HQ!

I worship at Swindon Elim Pentecostal Church

I'm starting an Open University degree in a fortnight, studying Humanities - Art History, Literature, Classical Civilisations, etc.

I play drums in the worship team at Swindon, and also play bass, guitar, and occasionally sing. I have a little solo, secular-ish project, which is just my voice, and my guitar. Nothing special, but it's a wonderful release for me. http://www.danielmills.com

I love writing, art, and all natural creative acts. I used to play rugby, but any chance of furthering that became lost when I snapped my collarbone. Ouch

I am an only child.

Umm, Any questions? *s*

Here is me about 3 years ago, I had long hair, and used to sport it in bizarre styles



This is my driving license picture, I'd just walked for 25 minutes in torrential rain, I was soaked. I think my less than happy moment was captured quite well!



Here is a picture of my first ever solo show, blurred as to, well, obscure me quite blatantly!



And finally, the most recent picture of me I have..



I shaved my beard off yesterday, to let it grow back thicker and smoother. I also had my hair clippered to a #2 all over, so all facial/head hair can grow back together, and not look unbalanced.

Sadly, my head is cold.

Brr.

AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
I LIVE IN OLDHAM !!!!! I'M IN THE NORTH CHADDERTON AREA NEAR THE PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!
Wot church did you go to? I have recently started going to Chadderton Congregational. I used to go to St.Herberts RC!!!!!!!
Oddjob, I went to stoneleigh. What week did you go? I went week 2. It was life changing!!!
So you're suffering same as me then? GCSE's are such an inconvenience. What are you doing?
Everyone:
I'm Hannah, I'm 16 and I go to North Chadderton School. I'm 5ft10".
I hope to study Biology,Chemistry, Art and RE at sixth form. I have three sisters and a mum and dad. (obviously!) I play the piano, guitar, clarinet,tenor,alto and Baritone Saxophones. and I'm in a band called Daze on keyboards.

MariSian: My friend was driving home to Manchester from Liverpool he thought he was nearly home when he saw in the distance a huge sign and guess what it said? WELCOME TO WALES! He's always getting lost though so it's no big surprise!

[MariSiân]

Hannah, thats so funny about your friend driving home - I'm exactly the same with directions!! I dread the day when I have to drive outside of anywhere other than my little town.
They are such good subjects to do at sixth form, seriously. I did art chemistry biology and maths in year 12 for AS. I've dropped maths now for more time to concentrate on the others. Chem is kinda scary at first but it DOES get better i promise. And biol is just so so interesting. As for art... well what can i say? Such a relief subject in amongst all that craziness.

Oh and by the way, there's also a Chruch of God (which I belong to) in Manchester, I've not been to the hall before so I dont know where it is!! Theres one in Liverpool too. I've been there quite a few times but again, if it involves directions, dont ask me!!

I will try to post a pic of me on here soon. When I can find a half decent one! I'm usually the one behind the camera though (thankfully!)

Anyway, cyas.

i went week 1, and you're right it was great, im doing electronics, french, geography, business studies, information studies, and english literatur + the core subjects, boaring , i'm hopeing to do maths, further maths, physics, chemistry, and music, at 6th form

[DanielM]

I'm from Royton! I went to Whitegate End Primary School, then Radclyffe Secondary, then Oldham Sixth Form

I love how He made this world big enough for all of us, yet small enough for us all to know each other

I only found salvation in the last, Oooh six months of living in Oldham, I used to go to the Elim Church, just up opposite Keys Music shop in the centre. I've lived away from Oldham for about 18 months now, and I miss it loads. Hmph!

[DanielM]

Oh, and p.s;

..Saaaaaint Sheeeerrrrrberrrttts, Saaaint Sheerrrrberrrrts...

Sorry, child-hood flashbacks getting the better of me

[HannahBanana]

OI! Sherberts rule!
What years were you at whitegate end? My dad taught there for a bit, Mr.Guilfoyle? he played the guitar a lot!
Do you know anyone called Mr.Burtonwood? Music teacher, he's my best mate's dad! You might know two of my mates from church, caroline moss or martin bailey? they're in my band caroline does drums. Ok you won't know martin, caroline is 21 though. Do you know David Pulo? Miss.Fyfe?
So Radclyffe eh? mmm.....North Chaddertonians are way cooler! only kidding!
MariSian: Thanx 4 the reassurance on the subjects! I know what you mean about art! Such a relief to let all that creativity out when you know that you won't get a wrong answer! I'd like to do nursing and midwifery at uni so that should get me through.
Daniel, I'm so worried bout the xams! I'm doing Geography,music,ART,all three sciences,french,maths RE,english,eng lit. What fieldwork are you doing in geog?

[DanielM]

I was there from, Ooooh, 86/7-ish to, Um, *guessing* '93 ish?

My mother was a teacher there, She still works there doing supply, She's quite reknowned in the area, Your father probably knows/knew her.. Mrs Frances Mills, She taught reception at Whitegate for billions of years

Mr. Burtonwood used to be my music teacher! Miss. Fyfe was at Radclyffe when I was there, but I was never in any of her classes.

God bless the secondary school rivaly between Radclyffe and North Chad.

Some of the names you mentioned ring bells, but I can't place any of them with faces. It's been so many years!

[HannahBanana]

Oh I'm sorry!
MariSian you my know my friend Amy. She's from Wales! That's all I know about her though, she's on the Pais team in Oldham. She is so funny and has a cool singing voice! (who hasn't in Wales though!?)
I've got a blister on my little finger coz I got wax on it when I was doing some Batik work in art today. I'm really proud of my work at the moment. I'm a little apprehensive about ironing it out though. I dearly hope you know what I'm chattin on about!
PS DAVID... When I said Daniel in my previous post I meant you, (about the xams etc. I get confused between the two, don't ask me why!)

[MariSiân]

Hannah I was only kiddin
And you can call me Mari.
Yes I did batik when I was doing GCSE textiles - its when you have those little funny instruments and pour hot wax over fabric to make patterns isnt it? And then dye the rest of the fabric etc... Its fun. But hot wax, ouch.
Hmmm your friend Amy, does she live in Wales?

Anyway I'll catch ya later.
