Heading back soon for my first visit and am really excited to see all the amazing development that has gone back home in such a short amount of time! It's awesome. So yeh, thats why I'm here, just to have a spy about and get back up to speed on what has been going on in my absence really.

My name's Josh, the Briggzy part comes from a nickname is regards to my surname. Although I only formally signed up to SA a year ago, I have been sleuthing around the site since 2006.

I'm 21 and have lived in Adelaide all my life, in particular in the southern suburb of Hallett Cove. I've always been interested in buildings, infrastructure and just how cities work in general. I've played every version of Sim City ever made.

Medicine is my other and close second interest. I just finished my last semester of medical science at Flinders uni and will be going onto my masters in public health next year. I'm interested in working in the public health field, dealing with disease prevention etc. but haven't really narrowed down an exact speciality. I was keen on doing architecture but I never had that type of creativity as well as skill in perspective drawing. I only found out this year that a degree at Adelaide (or Uni SA?) in urban planning was available, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I support a city stadium, preferably a redeveloped AO, public transport and dream for the day when 200m+ architecturally significant buildings are allowed to be constructed in Adelaide and I can travel from one side of the city to the other via tram and subway.

Also I'm an avid Crows fan and I apologise if it gets the better of me .

I left Adelaide in 1991 pursuing a career in the eastern states but I still have have all my family living in Adelaide and get back there about once a year. I am very interested in cities and public transport ( and the way it all works). I have always believed that
Adelaide deserved better in terms of architecture and transport and its "place" in the world and current developments seem to be leading in the right direction. Cheers.

Well, I'm a fairly obviously well known figure around these boards. For those of you that are old, really old, you just may remember the horror that spread across your faces everytime you saw the infamous identities by the names of shuzstar, redstar, greenchilli and countless other internet alias. That was me, at the very immature age of fourteen.

These days, I've grown up, now at horrendously old age of eighteen and going by the real world name of Andrew, although I am affectionately known by my former school peers as 'Shuz'.

Much to my delightful please, my educational torment finished last year, completing Year 12 at Cabra College last year. I just passed by a few whiskers... My story, left school 6 weeks before it actually finished, never did my exams, and just hoped that my scores were high enough to get me over the line. Fortunately they were...

I want to study architecture at university, and am waiting until I am 21, so to sit the STATs and gain admission into the course through such means. In the office, I used to work on the checkouts at IKEA Adelaide, but have since retired. Now with a debt bill owing to my parents reaching new highs, I am on the job prowl, after a couple of months vacation to Sydney, Melbourne and a piddly town in the Far North.
Over one hundred resumes and cover letters, gloryfying my name screams torment to the daily piling of 'in' mail trays in offices across the city.

I'm a big fan of dance, electronica, house and techno music, cranking many a beat into the wee hours of the morning much to the dismay of my mother's and brother's peaceful nights sleep, aside from that and this website, I also devote myself to a lifetime of watching television with a box set collection that just keeps getting bigger by the month...

Standing in at 6' 2, with a body many envy, I'm very lanky and clumsy, and selfish too. No honestly, I am. I drink all the milk, eat all the biscuits, have the televsion on really loud, but that doesn't mean to say that I don't care about people. I'm always up for a good night out, free of charge Am infamously the biggest risk-taker amongst my friends, with stories so dramatic your mother's eardrums may just explode.

I lay claim to being the world's biggest whinger, which some may find annoying, but I do it for the sake of making others feel less guilty about themselves. I'll say things before I think, and I always drink in excessive moderation. I take great admiration in my friends, but the family's another story. It's more dysfunctional than one could think. Everyone's fiercely competitive, and a whinger. I got the latter. And whenever I talk about myself, I babble on endlessly.

If you're looking for the guy with the biggest collection of metrotickets in Adelaide. I'm your man. I still proudly don the L's, am able to get my P's but I just cant be stuffed, because face it, trams just f****** rule.

Gracias,
Shuz.

I started out a diploma of Building Design and Technology at TAFE earlier this year, to get a kickstart on pursuing a career in architecture, but withdrew from the course after the first term. It wasn't my thing at all, apparently - something which at the time had quite a profound impact on me, as I had been so adamantly sure all my life it was what I wanted to do. I've now set myself a new goal to study Urban Planning at university in 2011 instead.
