HC, I grew up in this bl**dy place, the product of an Irish mother and an English ex-British Army soldier. Have you ANY idea what I went through at school? Don't shed tears for me, cos I was one mean son.... I took abuse from NO-ONE.  I could fight. And I did...fight. Those who tried to denigrate me cos my beloved dad is English. I would rather go down fighting than cowering in a corner!

I WILL perpetually stand up to abusers, including those who denigrate homosexuals. Know what? I'm in my freakin' element! I love being surrounded by enemies and fightin' back. Wow!!!
