Meet the Reader: Burgess_101

OK, I notice that you’ve not actually filled out the application fully.

Really? Oh, my bad.

There’s actually a big blank area in the “Known Associates” section.

Do you mean like the Illuminati kind of associates or TSA associates?

Oh, TSA.

I’m not in any way linked with the Illuminati by the way…

We’re not really that fussed with whether your a communist in real life, or whatever.

Well TSA associates. I only recently started to get involved in the forums and commenting a lot more and the names that stick out to me are Mickey, Mike, Colmshan and a few others on my Arsenal Talk thread. Oh and MJB!

That could be somewhat contentious, actually. I’ll have to take that higher up. I should stop typing out loud…

Its okay it happens Ill just ignore it if you want?

Please do. Are you an Arsenal fan, then?

I am indeed! In fact they kick off in about 20 seconds!

Oh! Who are they playing?

Norwich. No doubt it’s going to be a terrible match.

Well, it is football.

I tend to try and not predict Arsenal matches as in my thread I am notorious for getting the complete opposite of my predictions… Not a fan I take?

I like watching goals, but they don’t score enough goals.

I quite like goals as well.

I prefer Rugby Union, but don’t really watch too much.

I rather hate Rugby in all its forms.

I’d love to see some of the worst diving prats from football try playing Rugby for a year. I bet they’d stop rolling around on the floor all the time.

I don’t get this macho look Rugby has to be honest…

Twitter says that you’ve scored already. Well, Maneorix says it.

Really? So does BBC!

I wonder if the BBC is just following Maneorix’s twitter feed?

Well there have been a lot of cuts. BBC news is just terrible nowadays, well Breakfast is, anyway. I feel like an old man I could rant about this stuff forever!

Ah, but that’s because they decided, quite ridiculously, to move the studio to the North of England. Most pointless decision ever. Everyone just commutes back and forth from London now.

Exactly. A waste of time and money.

Indeed. Alright, so aside from TSA, Gaming, Arsenal and rapidly turning into an old man, do you hold any other interests or hobbies? How’s the schooling going? Is it exam time?

It is indeed. Its different for our year though. We have tests spread out across 2 years instead of just year 11 in the summer. So, I’m left with only a few to do. Technically I finish school in 23 days!

Really? That’s pretty odd, isn’t it?

The exams? Yeah I only really have 3 or 4 tests that matter left to do . I have to do French, RE and Citizenship. The latter two aren’t even full GCSE’s.

Very strange. Well, good luck with all of those! How have you been doing so far?

Oh balls. Norwich scored.

I’ve been doing pretty well, as far as I know. B’s and A’s. Not in the ones I mentioned earlier, though, they are the ones that don’t matter!

Too many balls on the pitch?

Yeah, one too many by the looks of it.

A pity.  So, you’re all on course to go to 6th form? Good stuff.

I’m going to my local college to do an IT BTEC.

Ah, so your knowledge from building that computer should come in handy to some degree?

Yeah I want to go into a job where I work with PC Hardware (not a techie though). I love PC’s and fully intend on making it my livelihood! My other love is writing my back up was kind of writing for a gaming magazine.

Well, I’m sure we all wish you luck with the rest of your education.

Cheers, I’ll need it!

But, this now leaves us with just a single question… Snog, Civil Partnership, Smother and Shark Attack the four podcast hosts, Peter, Lewis, Kris and Kev?

Well… Hmm… I would have to Civil Partnership Kris because of his top class dancing. He’s one you want to show off. Snog Peter, smother Lewis and Shark Attack Kev.

Intriguing choices. Kris is one hell of a dancer, that’s for sure.

Blew me away.

And with that, we are done!  I’ll be in touch, with regards to the guinea pig position. Do you have any final words for the review panel (readers) that made it to the end?

I would just like to publicly thank everyone involved at TSA. Thanks for reading. Cheers Tef for talking to me (I’m lonely). Stay Classy.

Thanks again to Burgess for his application for the TSA Guinea Pig testing scheme. We will of course publicly announce whether he is accepted or not in due course.
