I'm Becca, I'm 21 and I'm coming to the end of my time at Manchester Uni. I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. Become a teacher, sleep with a kid, get stabbed?

Beyond tv, I love Girls Aloud, James Macavoy, Alex Zane, mushrooms,vodka, dancing drunkenly to cheesy indie music and Mcfly. If you leave out James McAvoy (never really seen the appeal) you've just described a really good night for me. Mushrooms are such an under-rated vegetable and can make-or-break a good deli sandwich (I'm assuming you mean the vegetable and don't suddenly think I have LSD baguettes or heroin bagels as well.)

[james] you like Alex Zane?
Even in that hat? Even with that hair? Even when he's speaking?

Despite my very low tolerance of hats, yes. I'm not proud of it but he would certainly get it.

The only thing Alex Zane would get off me is a well padded pillow held firmly over his face whilst his hands are tied down with barbed wire.

Hello, I thank the lovely free Metro magazine for directing me here. I'm Kayla, 21 and looking vain for a job to put a History degree to good use in (including libraries simply because I have read far too many biographies so I might as well pass the knowledge on). Besides I want to wear heels in my next job rather than flats which doom to me smallness.
I maintain that anyone who prefers Mean Girls to Clueless is strange and I haven't seen an episode of Big Brother since Irish Brian was in it moons ago. However I do like The Fabulous Life Of..... and All Access on VH1. Normally because they prove that money cannot by taste or a functioning pair of eyes.

Hullo Kayla! VH1 is pretty much amazing based just on those programmes (and certainly not thier music taste which is aimed at people who own two CDs - Phil Collins Greatest Hits and Kaiser Chiefs).
Libraries employed about 98% of lowculture members so you'll fit in just fine!

Oh yes, you followed two other sites which were Ameircan and fixated on Paris Hilton judging by the picture. I didn't go on there.
VH1 I love it. Today it was the Fabulous Life of Celebrity Weddings. Donald Trump has too much time and money on his hands.

Hello
I've been lurking here for years now, ever since the hallowed days of uni many moons ago. I found Lowculture by googling 'Paul Gambuccini' and 'Wes Butters', and after various twists and turns, ended up here.
Last week I got my final written warning at work for spending too much time on the interweb, so figured this was as good a time as any to introduce myself. So hello! I'm PolyannaPolyfilla. My lowculture credentials are thus:
The Beeny is my landlady. My flatmate's boss is currently in Big Bro. She also goes to the same tennis club as Sam from a few series ago, and has discussed the box wanking incident with her mum. I work on the Kings Rd and see shit (in both the actually shit and the secretly cool senses) celebs every day. I think Holly Willoughby is stalking me. I spent my A-Levels writing angry letters to the then head of Children's Programming at the BBC. I wish Annie Douglas off Sunset Beach was my friend. The Big Brother sweepstake is running my life (Im quite pleased I've ended up with Gerry, as I actually like him. But I'll soon go off him if he keeps flirting with horrible Mick Hucknall)
Lovely to know you chaps!
P.s. If I do get the sack, can I sue/ get a job off someone?

I spent my A-Levels writing angry letters to the then head of Children's Programming at the BBC. Was there a particular reason why or was it just for funsies? If you say it was Section Tracey Beaker campaign then you just might be the best person ever.

There are an awful lot of people looking at the forum right now - are we in the national press again?

There's no spike in the stats for the main website, which is usually where you see the most evidence of a mention in the media. It's a mystery!

Hello! I've been lurking for yonks and am generally too scared to post, but I thought I'd introduce myself anyway.
I'm Susi, 28, from Norwich. Hollyoaks and X Factor are my favourite programmes, and one of my favourite activities is to get drunk while watching Gillian McKeith and hurl abuse (and chips) at the TV.

Hi Susi!
Unfortunately for me, i get the opposite reaction. To my eternal shame i always feel guilty and half-heartedly attempt a sit-up on my bed before sinking back onto the pillow sadly.

I was keeping my eye out for the 1000th member but we now seem to have 1001, which is even better! Is there a name for a palindrome number?

That's what my old maths teacher taught me. Although the same maths teacher went mad and drove to the Isle of Wight when Ofsted visited, so I'm not sure he was of the soundest mind.

It's just that when you get over 1000, Proboards suddenly gets really hard to use for no good reason. I like to keep things a bit exclusive anyway. I only delete those accounts that have shown no activity for more than a year. Unless I get stuck in when I'm drunk or something, in which case anything and anyone goes.

The Isle of Wight, festival aside, is a godawful place. Fun story! I got a papercut in an Isle of Wight post office a few years ago and bled all over the Lottery stand where they have the pens and blank forms so now part of my DNA will forever be with the Isle of Wight (or at least until they replace the Lottery stand).

Hello all,
I am a fan of all things lowculture and, without being sycophantic, I feel like I have found a real spiritual home here. Pleasingly, my work's insanely-sensistive firewall labels lowculture a "cultural institution" so you help to improve my working life. Currently on holiday so taking the chance to finally introduce myself.
PS I (unashamedly) love most TV and film but highlights include Doctor Who, Neighbours, The OC, Buffy, My So-Called Life, Terri McIntyre, 80s cinema... Oh! I could go on...

Hello everybody.
I like Lowculture. A lot. So much so that it has only taken me two years to post here after registering. I suppose that you could say that I don't like to rush into things. I remember quite a few of you from the good old days of Popjustice. Particularly Audrey. You can blame her for this. No-one calls me a silly sausage and gets away with it.
I like Coronation Street. And Property Ladder. And Question Time. And Peep Show. And I always make a cup of tea during the adverts.

Aye up.
It is from Billy Liar. (Probably) one of the best films ever made. Like Billy, I dreamed of running away to London when I was younger and sometimes used to walk down the street with my eyes closed. However, I have never got off with Julie Christie or worked in a funeral parlour.
Then again, I could be lying.
