I am not the oldest person here, I have not been through the most life experiences but what I am is coldly logical. People value my opinion as I can see it as it is and have no issues saying it.

If I think you are wrong I will tell you, if I think you are right I will say so too. Most the time you are neither and I wont tell you what to do but will give you the options.

A.   24 March 2008: There is no such thing as average, look at the statistics, is the average person male or female? Blonde or Brunette? Wears glasses or not? Very quickly you find that the average person represents less than 1% of the population. You have been abu... (read in full...)

A.   23 March 2008: Ok, didnt notice your age initially, what sort of concert was it? To be honest the not getting dressed up for a gig (assuming rock/ pop type band rather than opera/ classical music etc) would not have been the greatest concern. If I am going to... (read in full...)
