Welcome to the forum. :D
Being English your location 'DTW' does not mean much, where would that be?
I live about half way up the UK in Leeds, there is a Tank factory not far away, hence my username.

The 'DFW' stands for the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, which by a small stretch, includes my place of residence in Denton (aka little d). I suppose I could put 'DFW, TX' on there for clarification, but lately I've been changing all my other online profiles to be more specific. Just hadn't gotten around to updating this one yet.
I'm not sure about the history, I haven't seen anything like that here. Mostly we just jump in to whatever discussions we find interesting and start posting. It helps to read a few first, to get a feel for the social atmosphere, but just posting and reading the replies is the fastest way to get to know the people here.

I understand now. In my experience DFW tends to have quite a high concentration of atheists when compared to the rest of Texas, is that the case?

Welcome, Tank. Now we have a "Tank" and a "Tanker" on the forum. Hope we don't mix you two up!
We get fundamentalists from time to time. It's difficult to find common ground for discussion. And by fundie, we get fundie from more than just christianity, btw. We do our best to live up to the forum name, but as you know, the tendency for intolerance and circular logic that come with the fundie mindset wears on even the most patient folks here.

All the ones I know in person are in Denton, of course. It's a very different environment from Dallas and the surrounding areas. Denton's kind of like a small town that happens to have two universities and a relatively large (and rapidly growing) population. I live well in the ghetto.
What sort of place is Leeds? I've heard of it, I think.

Leeds is a reasonably large city with a large University, lots of financial businesses and a history of manufacturing. In mid-Victorian times it was the largest producer of woollen cloth on earth, but I'm not old enough to remember that!

Quote from: "Tanker"Hello Tank and welcome to the forum. Are you an armor crewman? Or just a tank lover?Neither really. Although I'm into all things military as an arm chair user. I was quite large at school and played rugby and tended to just barge through the opposition, hence the nick name of Tank. I also live near the Vickers tank factory at Barnbow in Leeds which was another reason the name came to mind.
Do you have a background on the real thing?

I must confess to being a sucker for the experiences of people who have 'been there and done it'. I've just finish reading Bob Ballards account of finding the wreck of the Bismark and it really comes to life due to the accounts of the survivors of the battles.

Mostly we get frustrated, they repeat themselves endlessly, refuse to learn anything (probably because satan uses us to try to trick them), we all just watch the threads disintegrate, someone gets banned, or we just ignore them.
By the way, former U.S. Army here, but didn't drive tanks. I suppose my nickname, if based on the Army, would be "rotorhead".
Also, small world coincidence...I just finished a two-day stint doing presentations and round table discussions on Multiple Myeloma with a gentleman from Leeds (well, he grew up in Leeds, but lives in Denver, Colorado now).

Leeds is cool. Pity about the football team though. :p
Hi
Well not being a great football fan the Leeds situation doesn't worry me, although the team just got a guaranteed promotion for next year, which I gather is a good thing. I tend to follow F1 Grand Prix myself, McLaren being the team I have followed of late having been a Williams fan in their hay day.
Go Jenson!!

Lewis all the way.

Jenson or Lewis, either would do, but I'd prefer Jenson as Lewis has plenty of time in front of him!

Exactly, I want lewis to build an enduring legacy, like Senna or Stewart, he needs to start building those championships early, Jenson's time has passed, he will never achieve true greatness now.

I would like to see Jenson get this one back-to-back on his last one as Lewis needs to mature a bit and as they appear to get on pretty well I think Jenson will be a good influence on him.
