Thanks for reading and replying, guys.

Looking back on fresh eyes this morning my essay really needed a TL;DR at the bottom.

But, I feel this place is a little more cerebral than most other forums so I'll leave it unedited.

I'll be sure to get stuck into some of those pages you've suggested, smokerx. Thanks

zombicyckel, yeah all those failures with women mean I've finally found one that will put up with me!
