Fraggle, small, yellow/green skin (depends on suntan), age 33. I was a tv star on itv in the 1980's thanks to jim henson, also appeared in several books and was even made into a cartoon. Unfortunately, whilst Kermit the Frog, Seseme Street and the Muppet Show have continued to be popular, Mr Henson's other creations, such as us Fraggles, disappeared a long time ago from the public eye and so we had to go and get a proper life after being ditched from tv.
After several years living in Lancaster, Sunderland and western France I'm now living in Manchester working as a computer programmer at the University, also deputy warden in one of the Halls of Residence.
I've only been supporting Wigan since 1998, they didn't have rugby league in Fraggle Rock so it's not something I was brought up with. Apart from rugby, my other interests are photography and chinese food.
Currently off work after several days in hospital with abdominal pains. At least I've not been as badly off as Bryan Fletcher, poor soul. Thankfully there have been no messages on here querying about whether I should be relieved of my moderating duties as I've been unavailable to moderate during the recent illness and I may become ill again in the future...

Ooo favourite players. Well I was a primary school kid when Wigan were winning everything, every season. We had Red & White Days and a few players would come in. I always liked Andy Farrell, Shaun Edwards and Martin Offiah.
Soft spots for Frano Botica and Tuiga too!
Always been a Wigan RL fan but become much more devoted over last couple of seasons, 2005 season especially.

That is only because your wages for moderating (being zero) don't affect the salary cap. Otherwise....
