[Bradford] Introduction :-)

[Philip Wyett]

Hi Nick,

Nice intro. It is good that you are going full time Linux etc. You maybe a 
good man to know as things like web, php are not my strong area - Lets just 
say that. I like things that start class or struct. :-)

After your uni days. Do you still game a bit?

Regards

Phil
