Welcome in!
It's a very social site, so you'll find plenty of nice people here (except me, I'm not nice at all
).
I've been here about 5-6 months and chatted to lovely folk, men and women both. Lots of like-minded interesting people.
I'm not local to you at all, so no chance of a pilly from me, but I just happened to check the forum as your post came up, and thought I'd be the first one to say hello!
