Hello to anyone who reads this. I've finally joined TB (whoopie). I've been playing bass since 1976, but not continually; otherwise I'd be too tired to write this. I'm into Beatles, write and record my own songs, and have retired from live work. I'm an American, but since 2001 I've lived in the United Kingdom. So there you go.
Welcome! (and if you have gotten into "real" football in the last 12 years, check out our EPL thread and join in the fun over there ..) and even if you haven't, welcome!
Heh, thanks! "Real" football is played with pads and helmets; not a field full of guys in shorts who fall over and fake an injury whenever anything other than a breeze blows by.
