Bio of "Steel"
Who is Steel ... ?Darren Astles, Male, Born 1967 in Middlewich, Cheshire, England. Youngest son of three to parents Cliff and Barbara. (below)
Why Steel ... ?Two reasons really. Well when I first joined the net way back in the late 80's (although it was the early 90's before it became truly useful), I noticed that everybody had a "handle" or an "online" name. Not wanting to be the odd one out with my peers and in need of a name so that I could register for playing strategy games online (Darren just didn't cut it ;-), I settled on Steel. I guess it's linked to my personality. As in "nerves of..." *shrugs*, not sure. Maybe it's my interest in swords or WWII that swayed it. But it's probably the "nerves of Steel" bit. If you've been for a little ride with me in my car, you'll understand. Speaking of which...here is a 9MB, windows format (WMA) video of me having a little fun.

Job ... ?Own my own company. IT related mainly. My desk at the office... There I am
Children ... ?Oh yeah! I've got three of the carpet monkeys although they are a little big to be called that now. Declan (born 1991), Imogen (born 1999), Lauren (born 1989)
Left to right. Darren, Amanda, Imogen, Lauren & Declan. This was Lauren's 16th Birthday.
Lauren, posing.
Wife ... ?Yes. The (only) person I take my orders from is below ;-).
Mmm...actually Mandy (Amanda, my wife) is with my daughter Lauren. I guess that makes two people I take orders from huh?
Teenager... ?This is a picture of Uffy (Paul), me and Sniper (Paul) on our way back from France and Spain. I can't remember the exact date of this, but it was mid-eighties. Of course, we don't see as much of each other nowadays, but this harks back to some crazy times. Ah.....teenage years!
