    New 'Mature' Student
    Just wanted to say hi

    I am 28 and thought its about time I started doing something decent with my life so I am starting Open uni in October doing a CompSci degree (very much a geek at heart, so feel this will be a prefect subject for me).

    Anyway, I will be updating my profile as I go, so if you wish to know anything more please look there or feel free to send me a message.

    Hopefully speak to you all more soon.

    Thank you, I am more than happy to engage in serious debate if it is just that, I think serious debate should be well rounded with all parties willing to accept other points of view, when presented with a good argument with a few independent places backing up the points.

    I try not to engage people that swear for the sake of it and people that start arguments for the reaction etc.

    On the positive/negative point, personally I feel people should voice there opinions (but not shove it in peoples faces), and should do so in a positive way whatever the subject maybe.

    Obviously this is just MY outlook and everyone has there own way of looking at things which is great and what makes the world a good place, I am willing to accept that and listen to that.

    Wow now that was a rant and half, its early morning so I am blaming it on first being awake haha.

    It is good to be here and I have learnt many tips already on improving my studying etc.

    Hope your well
