Thanks for the welcome guys. JD has e-mailed me to say I can out myself as in fact being idc and looking to return from the 'wilderness years' when a certain Irish fellow and I kept each other company and looked for a new hifi home. It never really worked out anywhere else for me, so it is great to back in touch with you guys and re-start here.
The_Lhc, I am a biker. Remember this thread?

I passed all the various tests last June and got myself a big bike, sold one of the cars and have so far toured much of Scotland and over to Ireland as well. The scepticism is about enjoying a debate.
