Grüppe D-Zyne Projekt

There are two regular contributors to the site, along with a handful of other people foolish enough to get involved in whatever idea we next come up with. They were asked to write a profile about each other, as insulting, complimentary, untruthful, or off-topic as they wished.

Al

Al, or Al Frazek, as he likes to be known to his Russian Mafia friends in Birmingham, is from the north, which he vehemently denies. But let’s look at the evidence:

• While bored one evening at home, Al decided to correct the wikipedia entry on Red Stripe (a cheap beer, thus ideal for people in the north).
• Unable to find a job in the affluent south due to his incomprehensible accent, last summer Al worked in his home town. In a factory. Probably counting lumps of coal as they came up from the mines.
• Believes cheesecake to be an acceptable dessert.

Al enjoys reading Edge to find out what games he shouldn’t be buying this month, buying shoes to match his trousers, and has an active interest in open education hypermedia. (Or not, depending on whether you’re his PhD supervisor).

Paul

Paul is from the sunny seaside town of Bournemouth, famous for its Hen Nights, broken arcade machines from 1997 and the man who can tell you how old you are if you give him a pound. Dissatisfied with lack of Premiership football on offer, Paul moved to neighbouring Southampton in search of the top-flight action he so badly craved. Sadly, Southampton were relegated to the first division soon after his arrival, forcing him to take up a 4-year computer science degree to ensure his £6.70 train fare was not wasted.

When not busy with computer related tasks, Paul enjoys nothing more than airport management – his other lifelong passion in addition to Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft”, a game he plays religiously for at least 6 hours a day. Other lesser interests include reminiscing about the N64, and reading four books a week. Whilst an avid cake enthusiast, Paul fails to recognise cheesecake as a legitimate pudding, resulting in his branding as a charlatan by dessert aficionados worldwide.
