Title: hello from manchester
Post by: flatapex on February 25, 2014, 20:00:25 PM
hey everyone, thought seeing as Kieren was kind enough to enlighten me about this place I may as well introduce myself:

My name is Andy, I am 32 years old and am from Manchester, I work as a spinal injuries specialist for a medical insurer (I assess if operations should be paid for, not actually doing the surgery lol).
I'm engaged to Laura and we get married later in the summer, we have been together for nearly 4 years.

My collection is 200-250 games, the majority are master system and ps2 with a fair few mega drive and psp

i have 9 systems, a mega drive, master system 1 and 2. psp, ds lite, wii, ps2, ps3, xbox360

Looking forward to getting to know this place, and i'll also be at play in blackpool in may :D

It's a good escape I have found, I suffer from it myself.

Keeping busy writing reviews is certainly a nice way to get over depression.  It is something enjoyable and it is well known that keeping your mind active does help pull a person out of depression.  :)
