Three cheers for internet annonymity! :hug:

I know the username is a bit verbose, so you can call me Bosh (actually you can call me whatever you like, it's not like I can stop you :yahoo:)

This is my first time here, so I guess a little introductory blurb is in order:
I'm a 22 year old guy from Australia.
In 1998 I not-so-cleverly broke my neck, C5/6 complete quad.
I'm currently studying computer science at university, & yes I am quite the nerd.
The sooner I capture me a wife the better, this 'single' nonsense has gone on long enough.
I am (or at least, I try my best to be) a devoted Christian.

I'll poke around for a while & see how this forum is. I've found a few good reads already!


So, greetings & salutations!

Welcome onboard Bosh.

This is your new home, you are one of ours now!

Hope you get as much out of it as I do.
How does it feel to feel?
