So you want to know a bit about me?

Old, irascible, politically incorrect, a bit senile sometimes, juvenile at other times.

I live up the mountains in Ireland and started a blog a few months ago, just to see what blogging is all about.

It's a weird place, this blogospherical.

Hi Grandad! Welcome to the madhouse :)

How did you come across this site?

I like madhouses. It comes of spending a lot of time in them. And thank you for your welcome.

I saw this place mentioned on a blog somewhere, but the memory being what it is, I forget which one. If I come across it again, I'll mention it.

Oh I read your about page where you say you can get away with forgetting things because of your age...so says you :D

It's a handy excuse, and I'm sticking to it. :D

Thank you Vertexity.

Incidentally, as a Test Subject, am I liable to be dissected [don't like that], injected [could be OK] or fed with loads of drugs [Hmmmmm!]? I'd like to know in advance please..

You'll know once you get poked and prodded.

Thanks, Pbradish and Malique.

I would have replied earlier, but I've only just discovered how to switch on e-mail notification [I hope!]...

Welcome Grandad! We need some oldtimers (so totally politically incorrect) around here. :)

Grandad

Thanks everyone. It's nice to feel welcome somewhere!

Armchaircritic - I can see your house from here :)

Jelena - You find my blog interesting? Are you a psychiatrist?

GnomeyNewt - Political Incorrectness is my middle name [or names?]. I'm not sure what the others are.

Welcome to the madhouse

Ahem, that's my line. :mad: I even have the avatar to go with it. :cool:

Anyway, welcome to the madhouse, Grandad. Check your sanity at the door, don't drink Sara's finest Belgian lager without her permission, and watch out for Simpsonized avatars. I think they may be undead zombies that have eaten their owners brains. :eek:

Thanks Dan.

I only drink Guinness so I'm safe there. As for the zombies - I've been married for thirty years so I should be all right. :rolleyes:

Now that I've joined, I suddenly find I don't have time to go browsing Fora.

Life sucks! :mad:

I even missed out on Bloggers' Day :eek:
