But only just started using forum due to problems I am/was having (not personal although I do have those :rolleyes:

too lol). Got my 1st overclockers pc in 2012, another in 2017, both high end gaming systems. Have just upgraded with an rtx 3090. I am on sick leave at present so have lots of spare time , I game mostly. I work in IT. I'm from the North West.

Welcome. Sorry to hear you're sick. Get better soon.

Thanks. Technically I am in remission, to meet me you'd never know i was ill, but working again risks relapse so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Welcome
Have you thought about something more memorable for a user name?

Thanks, can I change my username? Good call tbh, will look into it, if I can change it I will.

Edit to add, just looked and couldn't see anywhere where I could change my username. Looks like I just mashed the keyboard to pick this one.

Welcome from me tyke! I'm recent here and with something of a remission here also.
Pleased with your dog's name. Small dog, large dog?.

Thanks! Tyke was the name he already had when he was given to me as an unwanted 11 month old. He's a Patterdale Terrier so officially he's a "Toy" size, in actuality he's about the same as a Jack Russell. He's 15 1/2 now and nearly deaf, eyesight isn't what it was. I cherish everyday I have with him. Do you have a dog?

Cherished - I like that............
Yes, I have a dog and yes, I cherish him too. We got him as a rescue when he was about a year old and now he is seven. A, gentle Collie. We also walk a neighbour for her Bedlington Terrier, a bit feisty so we have to keep him on his lead.

Good to see another dog lover around these parts. Collie's make great pets, my brother had one until 2016, died well past her 15th birthday. I do wish my dog was gentle too at times but like you say Terriers are feisty and so is he, small mans syndrome I think lol.

Worked perfectly. And the video. The other dog here is Gracie. She came into our house with a neighbour. Lovely little girl. And comfortable with letting Max into his home.

I see there was already 1 created and your thread can't be posted in, ah well, nice try, funny how folk get all uptight with a little repetition of threads lmao
