Hello Everyone out there in Cyberspace. The older I get the more doubts seem to disrupt my thinking. All the old established certainties of my youth are challenged by post-working years in-retirement reading. Therefore you may find me a disturbing influence.
Never-the-less I will enjoy being challenged and amused and sometimes chastised for my opinions and cynicisms.
Cheers !
Hello Brian 
welcome, I look forward to chatting with you.
Nice to hear from you. I look forward to the challenge!
Hello Doubting Thomas and welcome to the forum. 
Hi BDR44…welcome and hope you find it friendly here
…and it’s WELCOME from me Brian.
Good Morning Brian and welcome.
BDR44 - there is nothing here that can’t challenge you well - prepare your scabbard well!
Mornin’ Brian. Welcome.
You and Realist should get along famously.
Hi Brian, glad you could join us all on the forum, were a great friendly bunch of people that likes a good chat
G’day from Australia, “Thomas” !
Your post augers well.
I find those who are prepared to re-think their long-held notions far more interesting than those who “know it all” and shout
“I have found the truth !” from the mountain tops.
Seek to be happy - believe.
Seek the truth - doubt.
Welcome Brian.
I’ve given up arguing. My word should be taken as gospel. If you take this onboard you won’t go far wrong.
Hello and welcome from me too
