Stitch
Hello hello. I'm Stitch, and from the UK. :) - Figured I'd sign up and say hello in here before I started contributing to the other threads, so people know who I am.

I've developed an interest in astronomy and physics over the last few years in an amateur respect, and decided to sign up here after using the web to find a few forums/IRC links with like-minded folk to debate and generally chat with.

So again, hey! If this is the wrong place for welcome threads, I apologise. :smile:

Hi Stitch, you have found the right place, all the top people are here and they are nice, but to be fully integrated you need to complete the ceremony, some one will be along soon i am sure.

I've never seen one do it. They don't wear clothes that require it
