Hi everyone - well unlike the last poster here, my school days are lonnnnnnnng gone. I will be 70yo in May but I love games, even used to have my own PBM's footy and horse racing games which ran for 25 years until my first heart attack. I have had two heart attacks and suffer with Osteoarthritis but I own 2 sports tourer motorbikes and can be seen racing around on them on weekends when it's at least 12 degrees plus. I still manage up to 300 miles in a day and love biking. Passed my test in 1968. I also passed my car test but that was only in November last year, no lessons and never taken a test before in a car. I was chuffed at passing with just two minors (both not checking blind spots). I am a songwriter and musician but last played in a band in 1970 when the band I was in often played in front of a couple of thousand people as support to the number ones of the 60's - ah the good old days. Sorry if this is a bit long winded but just like you all to know that I AIN'T NO FUDDY DUDDY!

Thanks everyone - looking forward to this. Have done practice and qualifying already so it ain't too difficult but I expect doing well will be a little harder

Alice Cooper. Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Beatles and the Stones all sound good to me but regard myself very lucky to have been a teenager in the 60's
