Dear All,
Firstly, before I go into any form of application details it wouldn't surprise me if the majority know my name, have seen my name and probably think "bell-end" before I even attempt to make this application. However the incident and situation I put myself in what was over two years ago now, was my own down fall. Having had two characters at level 60 and in complete indecision as to which one to play I took it upon myself to try and make that decision. For one I was wrong to do so, and rightfully deserved to be kicked out of the guild, and for offending anyone in the process I apologize. Aside from this my forum work now ceases to exist. I've moved jobs and now have so much involvement that I honestly do not have time to spare looking and writing long posts all day, to what I can only describe in the past as needless, pointless debates started on a whim of my own boredom to light up a post and sadly entertain myself with banter.
I've changed a lot since my unfamiliar days to a point where WOW does not rule my life, my life rules WOW..... although the longest break I've managed from this game in over 2.5 years is four weeks. At the same time I still enjoy my social life, and at 22 it's fairly important tom, maybe when I'm older and settle down, and WOW's still alive I can become a sitting duck at my computer desk.... can't quite see it though somehow.
I don't think i got on particularly bad with people in my short period, but I certainly didn't help my own cause, or the guilds and have learned a lot as my characters have developed over the years. I'm now currently stuck in limbo. Currently a member of BoD but raid times simply restrict any movement as I generally have a nightmare journey home, and with an 8pm server time start with me arriving through the door at 7 doesn't give me anytime to get in the raid, and/or eat my dinner and rest for 10 minutes before jumping straight back onto a PC and it frustrates me as I miss raiding.
Either way, rather than bore you to death, I'll skip to the rest of the application and state one final apology to all who know me, or know of me for my history.
Nationality: English, Kent
Age [you must be over 18]: 22
Why do you want to join: To meet new friendly people, progress in end game content and generally enjoy it when I do it.
Who do you know in Head Hunters: Danosaurus, feels like we're married.
Alts and their levels: Desma - Level 60 Paladin - am willing to spec this holy when it reaches that point. As I am aware you are looking for a holy priest, I can't say this will happen instantly, but given the go ahead I'll level it as quickly as I can, but holy priest will always be available. Spikey - DPS Warrior, has tanking gear as well but only really use this as an arena character.
How often do you play: Currently able to raid 3-4 Days a week. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays - 7.45PM to 12PM GMT, as I tend to be restricted by traffic, some days I may have the odd miracle though. Generally go out on Wednesday and Sunday evenings, but can on various occasions attend
What you do in real life [optional but helpful]: I currently work as a Buyer for a Cable distribution company. Have been Buying since I left school at 18, but made quite a career move and took a gamble to which has now paid off as I get to travel quite a bit (am off to Croatia in 3 weeks), develop client bases all over the world, improve product ranges, pricing comparisons, and agitating sales people in order to get a discount. (Probably the best part).
Guild history, including why you left your last guild: Following on from my initial opening post. My previous guilds bar the one I'm currently in stem from : Envy (Folded), Fifith Sin, Ferocious, Loyalty (folded), Fairy Tale (Folded), BoD (as above).

Tell us a joke:
The Office Game :
Here's a way to spice up your office. Pick two or three colleagues and agree to play the Office Game which awards points as follows:
ONE POINT
Run one lap around the office at top speed. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
When they're not looking, pour most of someone's fresh cup of coffee into your mug leaving them with an inch of brew.
Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
THREE-POINTS
Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it." - Double points if you do this to a manager.
Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
FIVE POINTS
At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as 'Bob'.
Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do number two".
After every sentence, say 'mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in, "the report's on your desk, mon". Keep this up for one hour.
While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, all of you just shut up!"
In a colleague's diary, write in 10 am: "See how I look in tights".
Carry your laptop over to your colleague and ask "You wanna trade?"
Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now"
Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it"
Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc.) during a very important conference call.
Tuck one pant leg into your sock and when queried, answer, "not now" and walk away
