G'day blip and welcome to the forum. Wasn't sure if you were really here for a while or just a blip on my screen. ( yes I know, but low brow is my thing) anyway there is more here than just gaming so check it out I think you'll like the place.
Looking forward to the Olympic frenzy shortly?

G'Day blip, I'm DanDare over at ratskep as well. Welcome to the house.

Oh, and especially thanks for an opening post without lots of opinions. Its a safe and easy start at skeptic sites eh?

Thanks all for the further welcomes! And happily I see some familiar faces among your number.

As for making an opinionated first post - no, you wouldn't get that from me. I take the view that I'll end up flaunting some opinion or another soon enough!

To be open and honest though, my hot buttons are animal welfare and social justice. I'm also an atheist; I'd describe myself as anti-theism rather than anti-theist.

I'm sorry that I didn't respond to this before. No, AUSloth, I'm not looking forward to it: I live in London and - as all who have travelled here will attest - our transport system struggles to cope with normal traffic. I dread what will happen in a few weeks time. Only two hours ago I read a notice in our vet's surgery that their operation is likely to be affected as the team there will have trouble getting to work. I fear for the emergency services and for Londoners simply trying to get on with their lives.
