Recently retired, comms installer - List the subjects you study/have studied. Maths, sciences, engineering, computer architecture and communications. - What do you like most about yourself? Carefree, drift through life with very little worries and easily pleased. - What do you like least about yourself? Getting old, bits falling off and those still attached don't work like they used to.
