Hi All,

A friend recommended I check out this group and it looks great

I'm 48, originally from Cambridge, about a lifetime ago, but grew up in Perth, West Australia. 20 years in Asia, lived in Subic / Olongapo 97 - 02 before going back to Malaysia for a few years, then back here 2004 till now, mainly in Tarlac Province, staying for life now, no parole requested.

I work from home with a small team doing programming, database and other web work for UK firms. I live with my wife to be Debs, my 10yo son and her 11yo daughter - we each had half a family till 15 months ago when she went from data encoding employee to partner in life

No hobbies really - too busy working all the time - although Man Utd games must be watched with diligence (and Debs is now a convert of course). Won't talk about yesterday's game...

Aside from work I try to get some community service in here as a member of the Guardians (GBI - "RMG Ronin"). Any Guardians in the UK on this forum?

Anyway, now I ramble, I'll lurk for a while until I can contribute something

Thanks for having me aboard

Cheers

Steve

They're used to it now. When they see that look on my face, staring at the screen, talking to myself...

They keep a distance...

welcome to the forum, I know Conception quite well. My wife is from San Nicolas Pangasinan and we go through Conception on the way there. We usually stop in Luisita for a coffee. (in fact you look familiar from my last visit last month).

Enjoy the forum

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome Ana_may365


I know Conception quite well. My wife is from San Nicolas Pangasinan and we go through Conception on the way there.

I have friends in Dagupan, Pangasinan and have been promising to visit for ages. Usual excuse, work. I get fresh prawns at the market here from Dagupan that are so fresh and large, the seafood market there must be a treasure trove.


We usually stop in Luisita for a coffee. (in fact you look familiar from my last visit last month).

I've only been to Luisita once - and it was indeed last month...

Not too many in Tarlac look like yours truly - small world indeed!


Enjoy the forum

I will, thanks for having me

Cheers

Steve
