Hello

I'm a Catholic Christian but with an interest and respect for other expressions of the Christian faith (perhaps Reformed theology most of all). I'm a scientist as well (biomedical and medical).

Just found this intro page.

Hi everybody. I'm a nearing 60, fat smoker. I've have a long suffering wife . I'm strongly atheist, a financial conservative and a social liberal.
Used to post on HYS and the Big Questions sites until the Beeb decided that letting the unwashed speak was too much democracy for too little license fee.

Im totally incompetent with this kind of tech (when I click a smiley, I just get the dots & commas version  :)  ).

Well done Jakswan for getting this up and running.

Regards

Steve

Hi,

Just joined this MB.

I have been a member of various BBC MB's and used to post in the Eastern Religions MB mostly.  I am a practising Hindu, born and brought up in India although I have lived in Britain for over 4 decades now.  By profession I am a Chartered Engineer, spent most of my life in academia and am now retired.

Welcome, Prashna.

After yesterday's performance, I would have avoided mentioning the Indian upbringing.  Might still get a call up for Friday's test though.

Prashna,
Great to have you with us;
I hope you find our threads interesting.
This is starting to be a lot better than the Beeb boards.

Blessings,
Jim.

No need, it's just a mild platonic crush.
