Prologue....

I've drafted, deleted, redrafted and then deleted this first post so many times now it's getting silly.

Now do you introduce yourself to an audience you're not sure is there, in such a manner as to a) keep their attention and b) not appear weird?

Answers on a postcard please!

OK, how I'm going to do it is say HELLO! And welcome to what I hope will be an interesting read thought 2014.  

I'll be rambling about my hobbies, which include wargaming, painting toy soldiers, reading, comic books, music and films.  There may also be a small amount of political ranting (but I'll try to keep that to a minimum)....

Sound good? Sound like the kind of thing you'd want to read about?

Then 2014 could just be our year to become good friends dear reader.....!
