@velveteenvamp.
If you have no objections to being adopted by a person who was born a couple of centuries ago then I will be proud to adopt you and do what I can to help you.
I am a great believer in asking a Staff Member if I ever need help or to go to the help pages. Further assistance can be readily obtained from Buffy Summers (who I often refer to as The Boss) in the sections provided to help new members.
Originally I was born in the place people are sent to when you do not want to talk to them, ie Coventry England. That was back in a time when there truly was a meaning to the Great in Great Britain.
Now reside in the small town of Toodyay in Western Australia, about a hundred kilometers north east of the Capital city of Perth. Further knowledge of where I live can be gained by visiting the internet websites for ' The Avon Descent ' a two day white water raft race of some 123 kilometers from the town of Northam through Toodyay to the city of Perth. Or to the website for the the towns festival to celebrate the life and times of the Bushranger, ' Moondyne Joe '.
Just type, - Moondyne Joe Festival - on the internet address bar. And yes there is gold in the hills around this town.
Speaking of befriending a Giles-esque type figure, did you know I am only a few months away from being born the same time as Anthony Stewart Head? Or if you feel you are to much like the proverbial spring chicken to be adopted by am old so and so like me send your questions to another member here.
