By telling them my favourite film’s Alien and I have a cat?
I know that comment isn’t aimed directly at me and I can understand the baddies thinking I might be deranged and an easy target because I support The Toon, but otherwise, it’s not obvious as to how they’d crack my password, which is unique to each site I visit, randomly generated and saved, or get personal information from what I’ve divulged. It’s just a bit of fun. Isn’t it?

Hi all well it's great to be back on the forum after being away due to health problems which I won't go into.
I am a Yorkshire man from the steel city and it's a famous cutlery city.
I now live in Scotland
I have been married twice.
I am a rail enthusiast and ex train spotter and I started when I was 15 years old.
I am a big lover of Rock/ Metal Music but I am also a big lover of music from the 50s 60s and 70s but I also love classical music and opera.
I retired a year ago.
I spend my days bird photography from my bed room window as I can't get about too much and driving the locos on my train sim world ps4.
I don't follow sport ie football but I love watching car Rallys.
I am 67
People call me big kev.
I used to be a big real ale person and always look forward to the new Christmas ales that would be made for Christmas. But alas I can't drink any more health issues plus medication.
I am a placid person who can get on with anyone but I have found out that people don't get on with me sometimes as I am very stressed out.

- Agnostic, respectful to all nice people whatever their religious persuasion. Good people are all that matters whether agnostic, atheist or theist. Religion is really important to some people, so while I don't have a belief I won't ever be disrespectful to someone regarding their religious beliefs especially if it gives them solace in hard times - unless they are unable to live and let live in peace, in which case we might have a word or two.

- Pick three words to describe your personality.
- Friendly, Caring, Inquisitive

- Do you have any pets?

Contrary to poplar belief, despite the fact that I no longer feed them, the cats make a real fuss of me whenever they see me, still good chums!!

- Martial arts (jujitsu, mma), mostly solo training since the pandemic but looking to get back to public classes soon. Before we all lockdown again

- Do you get angry easily?
- No, only when I see people being treated really unjustly. Getting angry at minor annoying things just isn't worth it, for you or anyone around you. Be nice, until it really is time to not be nice.

- No

It is the only flag which has an AK47 on it, crossed with a farming hoe, over a book, red star above. What's not to love about that?! Check out wikipedia to see it in all all it's glory. Can't post a link as the forum just assumes it is spam.
