I'm a married male with teenage children. We live in Torrens Park, a suburb of Adelaide. I'm a big fan of humour, many types of music, and other stuff too. I made my first edit in late March 2007, but my interest in Wikipeadia took off in mid April when I started looking for cover versions of What a Fool Believes. This quickly turned into a 3 month obsession, which I still haven't quite got under control.

[edit] Time

The chances are very close to 100%^[1] that I live in a different time-zone to you, so don't be upset if I don't respond immediately.

between March and October. (That's when our Winter is.)

between November and March. (Summertime, and the living is easy.)

(Yes, it really is "+", and it really is ":30")

[edit] Nice stuff
