        Just going to say this very thing Damy.
        My youngest daughter is seeing a boy who was dux of his school and is now in his third year of law and to top it off, he's drop dead gorgeous!

          Yeah geek loses its negative connotations once you leave high school. I'd kill to be a geek. Being clever is a massive bonus in the real world.

            Isn't there s Bible passage about the geek inheriting the earth.

            I for one wish I was a more geek than the chiselled adonis you see before you.

              I am at a bit of a loss to know what to say to that Al. (looking around distractedly hoping someone else will deal with the problem).

              Happy Christmas to one and all!!

                          They already do.... Port and Demons games are like watching 36 Sheldons running around.
