Introduction

 A little about me and my reasoning for the blog:

I'm Ian, currently a 51 year old man - if this around long enough, or even myself - originally from Bootle/Liverpool, and have been living in Ireland for almost 18 years.  My main core interests are sport of many different types, but would be a great lover of Liverpool F.C. (which will have some relevancy fairly soon), music, international cinema, history, science/medical/biomedical, nature, quizzes, alcohol (althought this might be on the wane now) and looking to widen my ICT knowledge and skills.  This is my third foray in to getting a blog constantly wrote and updated, and I am really hoping this one sticks around because I feel this could have some legs including hopefully for some public interaction and activation, because all our experiences are different somehow.

I have had a long history of mental health problems, more specifically with depression and anxiety; I was diagnosed with mild dyslexia whilst at the University of Liverpool where I studied Pharmacology, and have recently been diagnosed with ADHD in December 2025, and it is here that I want to make the main focal point, but could also grow legs in to other areas also, including the political arena where change needs to come from for improvements.  

I will also be open for suggestion from other readers of the blog for subject areas to cover, and maybe inform about; maybe you have a voice and you don't know how to project?  There is also the likelihood I may delve into other other things that come across me because I don't want to be totally serious 100% of the time and I do have other passions also; even if I am venting fury most of the time, I want to give time to the lighter things in life also.

To quote Laurent Garnier at the start of his 2000 Essential Mix (and possibly the best one ever?!), "I hope you're really going to enjoy the trip."
