3532 Thirty-three & a half inches...

[LEFT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2][quote=sdoj]Not sure I agree Kym or is it David - most confusing having the two of you there at once. Or is it a case of man and wife?.......[/quote][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]I recognise that this is not a simple question to answer; who is tuscanhills? I know that we're been here (and the previous version of the site) for ages & have not formally introduced ourselves....just blabbed on, tried to be helpful & had a bit of a paddy once. So, with deference to SDOJ, here goes....[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]Forum members will note from the signature that any posting from tuscanhills will either be Kim or David; SDOJ, you nearly got the spelling right....those 3 little letters can be such a bummer![/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]So why not have a single account each? [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]Hey, why not? We joined to share our passion for Italy, share our experiences & offer help 7 advice to all those folk in the same boat as us. I recognise that in having a joint account can be a tad confusing......maybe an anonymous pseudonym would be easier & cooler? Well that's just not me, I never played or tried to play with the cool kids.....I'm just me (or is that we're just us....gosh I can see your problem SDOJ, it's not simple after all!)[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]So back to this problematic 50:50 quandary; Kim or David? Well I know that this problem has been troubling thinkers, brain surgeons & rocket scientists since time immemorial so I wouldn't expect many here to be able to contribute to the dilemma. I'm sure those paid up members of "Kosmic plane 5" will be able to live with the metaphysical dilemma of possibly two names & love us for who we are![/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]So, who is tuscanhills; well it's primarily David.....Kim posted a few times; her contributions trailed off as she became disappointed by the vitriol that she saw when posting her own questions, the tenacious stalking & targeting of individuals that took place some time ago & when searching for information, felt that too often the original question was never answered as the participants wanted to guide the thread towards their own small-minded & ultimately unhelpful postings.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]So, if you want to know more then follow any of the links on the signature & you'll find out more about both of us....and our business address. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]If the pack dogs of the forum wish to pursue the non-matter of dual accounts further, then I'm happy to shorten the 50:50 odds but signing D or K each time either of us posts; I'm sure that when that's been cleared up we can then move on to break the anonymous pseudonyms that give no hint to ones background, no further information on the publisher....SDOJ, as the firebrand for transparency, perhaps you'd like to start?[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]PS, the comment of Thirty-three & a half inches relates to David's inside leg measurement.....always useful to know![/FONT]

[LEFT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]oooooh, one other bit of information about the Egmore clan; I've been looking into my family history (yes, all very a la mode at the moment, I know) & seeing as the forum have been discussing family, I thought I'd share some of my family history....that's my (David) not my (Kim)[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]I've managed to unearth:
[list]
[*]A long line of fish-hawkers & chimney-sweeps along the Norfolk coast
[*]A delightful [url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/stories.html#E]ostler[/url] who (ahem!) borrowed a horse and was deported for his troubles
[*]A [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Byng]renowned admiral[/url] in the British Navy who was court martialled & executed
[*]A lot of dull, hardworking Norfolk folk who just got on with it
[/list][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]Bearing in mind notaio's comments about how the forum is like a big family & the surprising turns of events I've found out about the Egmore clan, I'm planning on changing my name to David ItalyMagFourm as it seems that we share an uncannily similar history.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Hey D, there is plenty about me on this forum - where I live, what work I do, what sports I enjoy but my name I keep for PMs and even then I wonder if it is secure.

As I said to Aliena once or twice...just cos you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you.:D

Is it safe D. is it safe?

hehehe, thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Anyway, as everyone who knows me is aware, I'm perfectly balanced; I have a chip on both shoulders.
