I guess this is where I start?

Wow, thanks for sharing that Doc I'm very sorry to hear how things have conspired against you of late. It sounds like you've lived an amazing life! I hope you're able to get back in the skies once more eventually.

Sure, there's no requirement to discuss with theists here. Just kick back and have fun! If they start pissing you off you can just put them on ignore.

I did make it through the 80s, but I started I out at the age of 3 So I think my experiences were a little different to yours, hehe. I was probably about the last generation growing up without total Internet saturation, so I didn't come across much until 16 or so. I used to be a maths teacher, and then worked in pensions for a little bit, before getting chronic fatigue syndrome which has kept me out of work for 8 years.

I like playing video games, I love animals, I enjoy comedy, playing the piano, serious debate and acting like a twat to annoy my wife
