Its a little late but there we go, ive not been back into modelling long and this site has been a God Send. Not only are the good folk here knowledgeable beyond my dreams, you are also helpful, polite and just plain nice.

In the REAL WORLD ( Shudder) i am the Old Bill in a ghetto full of guns, crack, prostitutes and crime, and this place renews my faith in human kind.
Thank you all.

May your God go with you.

Welcome Chris. And I agree about the people here. A knowledgeable and helpful bunch they are.

And excuse an ignorant Yank, but would an Old Bill be a police officer?

And Chris I echo the thoughts of others, not only in how helpful the site is, but also in what a thankless job you must have...
Have a HNY
Cheers

If people were more like everybody here, what a wonderful world it would be.....
A forum can have all the latest gadgets that you can think of and so on, but a forum is nothing witout the people that makes it.
And this forum stands unbeaten in friendlyness and helpfulness...

Thank you all.

Welcome to the family Twelvelegs Brother I feel your pain, I am an "old Bill" here in the states. We could probably write a book about everything we have to see and put up with. I used to tell SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) about what goes on at work, but I could see that alot of times it would bring her down too, so now I just leave all that stuff at the door when I come home. Nothing better than family and modeling to leave all that rubbish behind Anyway have fun here, a bunch good guys are here.

Chris you have my sympathies with the job...TJF...LOL...I did 8 yrs with an East Mids Force before my head blew up with PTSD and depression. You're right about the site. Friendly, informative and nothing's too much trouble for anyone!
