Narcosis Profile - R-9



 Name: Neil

 Handle: R-9

 Group: Narcosis

 Age: 20

 What do you do in your group?: I'm a gfx artist and the editor of Deadlock.

 Name your fave...
 Util    : Protext v6.10, then DPaintIV (AGA version is SHIT!), then DOpus. Oh,
           not forgetting Motive's article tester!
 Demo    : Hmm, there are so many it's  hard  to choose. I prefer one with nice
           ideas to cool coding - dot tunnels are good but hardly original.
 Diskmag : Apart from Deadlock,  Visual  Intensity, then Grapevine (due to non-
           total scene commitment).{
 What do you enjoy most about the scene?: Writing to people all over the world.

 What do you enjoy least about the scene?: Voters who jump on the bandwagon.

 What is your hardware setup?: Amiga 1200 (maybe with 2mb Fast Ram soon), 120mb
 internal hard drive,  second  disk  drive,  colour  TV, Star LC-200 colour dot
 matrix printer, which I shall be selling very soon in favour of a bubblejet of
 some sort.

 How much do you spend on your  computer a year (hard/software)?: Hmm. Possibly
 about £100-£150, maybe even £200.

 What do you think about the diskmag scene?:  It's good, but there are too many
 mags with nice code but wank articles.

 Are the charts a  waste  of  time?:  Yes.  Completely  and  utterly. They're a
 fashion item.

 Non-scene stuff now. What do you  do  for a living (work/student/etc.)?: I'm a
 student  at  Manchester  Metropolitan  Uni,  studying  a  Degree  in  Software
 Engineering, 2nd year.
{
 What do you do in your  spare  time  apart  from the Amiga?: I've recently got
 back into reading a lot of  fiction,  especially  Clive Barker stuff, plus the
 Star Trek books (have a read of the reviews  of the ones I've read up to now).
 I also listen to an absurd amount  of  music, I really couldn't do without it.
 That's the thing I do most, probably. I've recently taken up parachuting. :)

 What sort of music are you  into?:  Indie  - you know... The Smiths/Morrissey,
 Mega City Four, Boo Radleys, Suede,  Carter, Auteurs, Belly, Senseless Things,
 etc., etc. I also like stuff like Queen, especially the older tracks. A bit of
 Erasure now and again. Oh, and Jarre, too. I like collecting bootlegs.

 Can you name your MOST fave...

 Song/Album            : All time fave album... probably Rank by The Smiths.
                         My current fave song  is  the Peel Sessions version of
                         Reel Around the Fountain by The Smiths.
 Music Group           : The Smiths/Morrissey. Then Suede or Mega City Four.
 Food                  : A huge Chinese meal, chicken fried rice with veggies.
 Drink (alcoholic)     : Tennant's Extra, Fosters Export, Budweiser, vodka.
 Drink (non-alcoholic) : Tea, fresh orange.
 Film                  : Star Trek VI, Star Trek IV, Star Trek II... yes, I'm a
                         trekkie! Aliens is good, too.{
 TV series             : Star Trek, of course! Fave comedy series at the moment
                         is The Day Today - criminally funny.
 Actor                 : Richard Prior and Gene Wilder are SUPERB together.
 Actress               : Sigourney Weaver  -  kicks  bottom in a big way. Also,
                         Linda Hamilton (Terminator 2) - phwoooaarr!!
 Book                  : Imajica by Clive Barker.
 Item of clothing      : My ripped jeans. They mean so much to me, I just can't
                         throw them away.  There're  two  big holes in the left
                         knee, a hole  under  each  butt  cheek,  a hole in the
                         right ankle, and the zip is fucked. Second would be my
                         faithful  DM  boots.  Joint  third  is  my autographed
                         Senseless Things t-shirt, and my pretty damn rare Mega
                         City Four 'Shivering Sand' t-shirt.
 Shop                  : The big HMV in Manchester. I live there.

 Can you name your LEAST fave...

 Song/Album            : Least fave song,  ooh,  there're  so many! Anything by
                         Ce Ce Peniston or similar fat black women.
 Music Group           : It has to be Take  That.  Four  superflous members and
                         clichéd lyrics. Sad, sad, sad.
 Food                  : Cheese. Fucking hate it. And fast food (v. unhealthy).{
 Drink (alcoholic)     : Least fave alcoholic drink? Come on! Turps, probably.
 Drink (non-alcoholic) : Coffee.
 Film                  : Basic Instinct. I've  never  seen it but the amount of
                         hype it got means it must be a bag of shite.
 TV series             : Love Hurts. Have you ever seen that woman smile?
 Actor                 : Mick Jagger. He did one film and he can't act.
 Actress               : Sharon Stone. Fucking talentless bimbo.
 Book                  : The Bible. It's basically a 2000 year old Daily Sport.
 Item of clothing      : Nike Air and LA Raiders coats - Baa!
 Shop                  : Any sports shop.

 If you had one day  to  live  what  would  you  do?:  Spend  all my money, get
 completely pissed and end my life with a spliff in my mouth.

 If you had £2,000,000 to  spend,  what  would  you  buy?: Well, let's just say
 HMV's profits would hit the roof.

 What was the most embarrassing moment in  your life?: Well you know that hand-
 jive thing from the 70's? I was forced to  get up and perform that in front of
 about 30 or more people. Suicide seemed an acceptable option, let me tell you.
 Secondly, it would be karaoke. I also recently flooded the kitchen.
{
 Who would you MOST like to be stuck  in  a  lift with?: Well, you know how the
 Daily Mirror have fashion  sections  and  they  always  photograph  a model in
 various clothes? Well, there was this one girl  from abouut a year ago who was
 modelling Doc Martens and typical  student  hippy  gear  and  she was (and is)
 probably the most gorgeous-looking person on the planet - so it would be her.

 Who would you LEAST  like  to  be  stuck  in  a  lift  with?: Probably Bernard
 Manning. Can you imagine the smell?

 And finally, who would you most like to kill?: Jerry Adams. What a cunt he is.
 The God of Spouting Gobshite. Oh, and the current Home Secretary - why does he
 crack down on hunt  sabs  and  do  fuck-all  about  murder  and rape? The word
 'backhanders' springs to mind...}
