I just know Stubbington in Hampshire pretty well, so I wondered if you were from that area. (Sorry for the brief thread hijack guys)

Nope. Just me and the Graduate Fellow. We will each tag out once for a bathroom break and to get a cookie or something, but that is it. 11 hours and 50 minutes of that I am scrubbed in and working. Lot of work but worth it, usually. :D

In2Deep - I'm a certified scuba instructor (recreational AND technical) my favorites are Deep Solo Night dives on Wrecks. While this may not sound like the safest thing to do, it's something I love and have done hundreds of times without incident.

In2Deep comes from

1) being in to deep dives
2) being in over my head and
3) because "that's what 'she' said" LOL.

If you saw the 3000+ sq ft shop behind my house and the 3 airplane hangers I rent, you would understand.

Didn't realise you're from my neck of the woods Roff :)

Mine is a shortening of my surname (Savage). Probably 95% of the people that I know, whether in my social life, at work, online, wherever, call me Sav (or Savage or Mr Savage). I'm so used to it now.

hnb is just another boring initials thing... ;)
But is is subtle and semi-anonymous which I like (even though my logo might give me away to those initiated).

Grew up in Eccles - tiny village between Medway and Maidstone - you might know Burham and Aylesford - Eccles is the dot in the middle.

My username is rather boring, just my initials. I admit having 5 is a bit greedy, but 2 are part of a double barrell surname.

Roffs mention of Kent leads me to thinking about a Kent arm for the Forum, I grew up just south of Maidstone in a village called Headcorn!!

Like Working Man, I too am a big Rush fan (it's the title track to their 2nd album). And with the aviation history of of Breitling, I thought it had a nice rign to it.
