Tom word of advice from an old/XXl one that may god willing point you in the right direction, poor old Merry is not what he was, but still has a sting in his tail that may just bite you! me alas have never been there to begin with, but i read with great enthusiasm your posts
But i feel you are laying down gauntlets that will be picked up by somebody! i have always found that somebody picks up the gauntlet, no matter what in life there is somebody, to put you down, have a go, slag you off, take the pi$$, and just be down right negative.
May i suggest you take the positive approach, and ask not who,how,when, where, you can beat, but who, how,when, where, you can help another to achieve there goal
God bless young tom xx the new turbo kid
