Well i'm pretty straight talking Englishman on or offline.

Got myself into a few scrapes here and there.

I have a diving license (BSAC).
I was pretty good at skiing.
I was a student of Taekwondo for 3 years 3 times a week with a tough
school; the GTF.
We did full contact competition fighting.
I've played with most types of sports except "body building".
I guess my favorite "sport" would be swimming.
I've practiced at shooting guns. Mostly shotguns.
I've driven all kinds of commercial vehicles at building sites.
I've worked at the European Space Agency in computing.
I've worked at CERN and other similar types of agencies.
Lived in 11 countries and been to 22 countries at the last count.

A few years ago i retooled and i'm employed and licensed in a pretty
tough working environment that provides me with a sense of worthwhile
meaning. In fact in my opinion it's one of the "toughest" professions
in the world.

With that being said we all form emotional bonds with people and if i
let them down, rightly or wrongly i'm going to feel guilty. And i
would deal with it and move on.
