Back to the real world





Married for 24 years with two sons (14 & 10)

Worked for my current employer since 1981 and am definitely a vinyl/traditional beer/wet shaving devotee as opposed to MP3/current fad/philishave "kind of guy"

Since going back to a brush and cream combination, my shaves have increased from twice a week to seven times a week

When we were courting, my wife to be bought me a bottle of "Chanel A Gentleman's After Shave" (Pour Monsieur) for Christmas. I've always tried to maintain that high standard

Were you surprised to find that some folks on this side of the Atlantic share so many of your interests and tastes?
 
Welcome, Rob, Great to have you with us.

I'm also a huge Sopranos fan, I can't wait til the new episodes, but I think I'm gonna cry when they're gone. :crying:

4 years ago, I was at our US headquarters in central Jersey for 10 days. On the sunday, I went into Manhattan and took a coach tour from Bryant Park

It followed the opening credits route and visited Satriales, The Bada Bing, the diner where Christopher was shot by the Pulaski skyway and other Sopranos locations in North Jersey

I even met "The man who whacked Jackie Jr" (Vito)

A memorable trip

:thumbup:

Can I just thank all of you for the kind welcome
