All about Neil
Hello world.
I'm a young middle-aged guy who recently discovered the site and was drawn in by that buzzword, 'cryptocurrency'. I really must keep myself futureproofed. We all need money to buy stuff and as I love nothing better than writing away on my laptop, I thought it might be a good idea to get on this young site and see how it goes. I don't expect to become filthy rich overnight and am not particularly money-orientated anyway. I thought I might get to meet interesting others through the site so that was also a big attraction.
So, little ol' me....
I come from Manchester, UK, though don't live there anymore. I love nature first and foremost (studied zoology at uni - hence the nickname). I also love football (my team is Liverpool - there's a story, there!), lots of music, travel (I've lived in Athens and Tokyo) and trying to be funny. My biggest failure in life often being the last one.
Me in Mexico earlier this year
Anyway, it's probably best to keep this short as I'd rather get reading through what everyone's written!
Of course, should any reader have any questions, please fire away...

poeticsnake said it the best, which is why I also followed. Keep it up like this and you'll become a whale without posting even one story (that was humour, don't take it seriously).
You are in for a feast of stories, art etc., that will blow your mind. Enjoy - and I'm looking forward to seeing your first story....in case nobody told you, it pissed me off, so maybe I can save you the aggro:
If your story is longer than two or three pages, split it into segments and add pictures, or else people here can't be bothered to read. If you become popular, the splits also earn you more money and rep.
EDIT: Also use more than one tag. The more (upto 5) the more likely it is your post will be viewed)

Cheers poeticsnake.
That monkey is my favourite non-human in the world. She goes ape when she sees me (other staff share their attention more equally, I guess).
Zoology and Mexico sound right up my alley!
Do you love the sun? Cool, (non-judgemental) people? Mexican food? And jungle / desert (if you're brave enough)? I want to live there.
I'd love to spend more time in the Jungle and desert. My wife is Mexican, and I love that food. I think I may be brave enough... or maybe just dumb enough.
That's a live scorpion in my mouth, but I can't remember why...
Been enjoying quite a few of these more recently.
Nice photos. Just hope you know what you're doing when handling such species. Went to the caribbean coast of Mexico and loved it. Would love to go back but to the north next time, near Baja California. Would love to see Gila monsters / Mexican beaded lizards. Saw a youtube clip of someone testing the bite of Gila monsters (crazy, I know) and it was lightning fast. Safe, of course, if you don't threaten them. In the desert, you'd also get the peyote. Which I imagine would be an eye-opener.

Welcome zool237, the more time I spend here the more I think that the overall architecture of this platform is truly amazing.
Anything to drag me away from facebook and articles on Donald Trump has to be a good thing! Cheers.
Welcome!
