Chiz - wants to play COD2

[Chiz]

Hi,

I’d like to join TOG.

I’m only JUST over 25 (I’m 41) and live in Melbourne Australia. I moved here 3 years ago from North London with my wife and kids. I’m a programmer (Lead Application Developer to be posh). Unfortunately I don’t write games I write business software ….Ah ha! I’ve just realised where my career went wrong!

I’ve read the FAQ (all straight forward) and AUP (man that was interesting).

I’ve been out of gaming for many years (since I wore out my arm playing Quake in the late 90’s) but now I’ve got back into it when I bought Call of Duty 2 in December 2005. Am I any good at COD2? I'm certainly not the best I've seen but also I'm way better than some I've seen! I’m seen some pretty good guys out there (that often kill me) and I’ve seen lots and lots worse than me. So I guess I’m somewhere in the middle. Put it this way. If it was 1941 and I was sent to France as a soldier I reckon I’d be lucky to last a year (too much chance element in it in those street fights) – thank God I’ve never been in a real war!

My online call sign is “Chizum the Hard Fart”. Yep pretty silly but - whatever! My name is Ian but mates all call me “Chiz”. Someone is bound to ask where that comes from so here goes (again): It comes from days when I was a kid (10) when me and my brothers made up names to call each other so as to annoy each other. How do you get from “Ian” to “Chiz”? Like this: "Ian" -> "Peanne" -> "Pea Brain" …and so on. After about 20 iterations you can just about get to any name you can think of. Anyway when we got to about aged 17 it all stopped and I adopted the final name which was “Chiz (during those years my brothers went from being Graeme to “Dash” and from Colin to being “Wal”).

So anyone want to play COD2 with Chiz?

Hiya mate...Had a bash with you this evening on our servers. To tell you the truth, you nearly got kicked for your full name 'cos it's dirty

Anyway when you get hit with the TOG stick we'll see you in the briefing room and then in the Foxhole.

Welcome

[Chiz]

"Fart" is too dirty?

OK. I don't care - we can change that.

Whad-a-you reckon?

"Chiz the hard"
"Chiz the un-hard?" (probably closer to the truth!)

Maybe it should alternate between the two - depending on how I'm playing?!?

[Chiz]

By the way Geeza. Like the name!

Cos I was brought up in London some of the blokes at work call me "Geeza".

..but I'll stick to Chiz round here...

Top action!

Guess where I come from then???

Born in BOW me old m8

A true east ender

[Chiz]

Bow...yeah me too. Born "Within the sound of Bow Bells" = cockney.

I was born in Barts (Bartholomeus Hospital) so me is cockney - in it.

Get complex as both parents at Scottish, I married a Kiwi lass and moved to Oz.

So are my kids: Scottish, Cockney, Aussie, Kiwis?

Brain hurts - gan to bed.
