..Welcome Fizzie..Congrats on being accepted into "The Mob"..
Good luck when the time comes, and you'll soon get used to being away from home, as we all had to. Besides, you'll have lots of mummies and daddies when you join up..They'll be the noisy ones with stripes on their right arms..
Stay close to the forum and we'll help you all the way...

No offence taken and I didn't take any at the time either (VERY thick skin on this man!)
HOWEVER - the senior members above are quite correct and you would be wise to listen to the old boys (no offence )

Ok. Advice taken. (and sorry again)
