New place, remember your netiquette.
Forgive the urge to put on a nasal Mick Jagger and quote lines from Sympathy For The Devil, but actually I'm not rich, I don't steal souls or faith.
But saying "Pleased to meet you" with the Internet equivalent of a warm smile and sincere handshake, is important.
So, rather than guess my name, it's Brian.
Among friends I respond to many mind-boggling monikers.
Mossup, Moss, Bri, Braz, three-eight, six-three (last two digits of shoulder numbers I had at work a long time).
Online I have been Mossup, Mossupthehero, the-last-decent-url, Thatoldomegleguy, Omegled, Cyrano, CyranoAndersson, and various other incarnations.
So, how many of you are there on here and what's it all about?
I would describe myself as a recovering leftie.
As a kid my mum caught me with a copy of Socialist Worker newspaper and went ballistic. By contrast she was never even remotely upset to find my porn.
I did a few years of church which included a little homeless outreach work. That shifted me more to the right.
I described myself for many years as a centrist Liberal who occasionally votes Labour.
To this day I could never bring myself to vote Tory and yet, truth be told, my thought processes, morality, beliefs, match with Conservatives more than any other abstract partisan label you can think of.
So I am one of many ex-lefties who want to identify as politically centrist but the idiots calling themselves Liberals are actually woke autobots spouting Critical Race Theory and post modernist Feminism.
And the NYT and Grauniad call everyone "far right" who criticises feminazis.
eyeball roll
So, I hope I'm in a good place.
I see this site allows people to choose to openly stalk and be stalked which is interesting. One should always do much lurking before one speaks. I am very much a lurker.
Navigation is comfortable on the tablet. Any problems, I may try on the PC another time.
So, it's all looking good so far.
But seriously, how many of y'all are there?
