Ok, my turn.

1.) I've had work published all around the world, including doing some work that was published in an american comic called "strangers in paradise."

2.) I'm absolutely obsessed with Robots, and anything to do with robots. (I mean fictional ones, not the stupid things that look like spacemen and walk through museums...) One of my top 3 films is Robocop. Zoot is a Cartoon character I've been drawing for about 10 years. I really like him and when i get time, i have plans for a one off comic.

3.) I'm part of a film company called Nightshift films, owned by my oldest mate. I'm the designer/art director. We're currently writing our third film.

4.) I play Guitar. Once played in a Blues and Jazz cafe with a sax player, where we made everything up on the spot.

5.) I'm a compulsive worrier. I'm on medication and have been for about 4 years. Something to do with a chemical in-balance I have. Seriously, you'd laugh at some of the stuff I have sleepless nights over.

6.) We once found a dead pipastrel (Sp?) bat on the office floor. I was quite excited, cause I love bats. I wanted to show my girlfriend, so I photocopied it...

7.) My 3 biggest hero's are Slash, Brian May and Jimmy Page. I was once in the same room as all three and didn't know till it was too late. (seriously, Brian May was stood right behind me for an hour before I realised!)

8.) The night I lost my Virginity, I had to stop half way through cause I had a nose bleed :cry:

9.) I Had to put my cat down at the beginning of the year. I cried like a baby for 20 mins.

10.) My girlfriend is the great great niece (or something like that) of Diana Doores

My dad is into bats, he once founded the North Bucks Bat Group! I quite like them to, we used to go out with bat detectors when I was a kid.

My mum used to do her nut when she found dead ones in old lunchboxes in the freezer.

Can I also add to my list:

11. I will be an uncle soon.
12. I have had lots of weird pets like Stick Insects and Giant African Land Snails.

I'm hoping it will rain tomorrow so I don't have to go and watch Mr Y play cricket. I feel so guilty. But tiredness is stronger.

I like this thread I feel like I know you all a little better. ok so my list is quite dull but
1. I am the eldest of 4 children the youngest is 16 years younger than me and everyone thought he was my child
2. I am part Romany - not sure which part tho
3. I'm terrified of moths but love butterflies - moths are stupid and fly at you, they also stay asleep when it's light then when it'd dark they make for any source of light, what's that about?
4. I have a degree in Welsh (a first language degree even though I didn't learn it til I was 12) only did this cos my Welsh teacher told me I'd never pass my O level!
5. I refuse to be beaten see 4 :D
6. I have a sleeping cartoon dragon tattoo on my left shoulder - it took my husband 3 weeks to notice it, shows how little notice he takes of my body
7. I'm rubbish at remembering people's names so call everyone darling, sweetie, sugar, babe or honey - my boss does not appreciate this
8. I have to put kisses at the end of emails and texts
9. I used to be a professional gymnast - but not since I was 9
10. I'm THE most loyal person you will ever meet and will do anything (legal) for anyone which has got me into serious trouble on more than one occasion

Moths navigate at night by using fixed points of light (starlight and moonlight mainly) which are really far away, so as the moths fly around the points of light stay roughly in the same place (relatively speaking). So, when they encounter a near-by light source (like a light bulb or a flame) and fly past it it appears to them as they're going in the wrong direction (because the light has moved relative to their position) and so they change direction to compensate. This eventually leads them to go round and round in circles, constantly compensating for their apparent mis-direction.

So basically, they aren't heading toward the source of light, they're just confused by it.
