I am a 25 year old bloke living in Colwyn Bay in North Wales. I used to work in a zoo inbetween my student life, and had to look after the most dangerous animals, the general public. My service to the public (and the fact I'm glutton for punishment) continued in my next job, a call centre, but now I work as a web designer for a small firm in Colwyn Bay.
One of my life ambitions is to get a Wikipedia article written about myself (though not written by myself, as that would be cheating).
Geek Dom
I am passionate about blogging and new media, and I have appeared on Radio Wales and the Guardian newspaper regarding my blog (which is at The Gospel According To Rhys).
I also run a retro gaming blog, that is called Retro Garden, which rather weirdly opened a door for another passion, which is....
Wrestling
Yes, I'm currently training to be a professional wrestling referee, having reffed a couple of shows so far. I'm head referee, head interviewer, webmaster, tea monkey, deodorant providing, ice cream selling, head of security, G-Man's personal lackey, and whatever else they want for Britannia Wrestling Promotions. It's ace, as I get to travel around the country, plus the people who run it are great at showing me the ropes (there's usually 3 of them, that hook onto 4 turnbuckles). I go by the ring name "The Word" Rudy Wynne.
Ideally I'd like to get into management, as something about getting paid to shout at little children appeals to me no end :), but at the moment I'm ecstatic doing what I'm doing.
Other Bits
I'm furiously Welsh, supporting Wales in everything (except for the cricket, where I support England & Wales - which is the full name for the England
cricket team). I enjoy watching most sports, with football, rugby and cricket being my favouries.
Away from sports, I enjoy playing Poker, and am known as "rhyswynne" on pokerstars.com.
I also love old school video games, and I will kick your ass at Street Fighter II.
I can also wear 13 pairs of pants at any one time.
