So much prejudice in that thread. And a little in this one, sadly.

All based on uninformed assumption about the state of mind and social circumstances of El.J.

As posted in that thread:
For those in a critical frame of mind I should point out that I am medically retired. Sadly the nature of the medical condition which caused that means I am pretty much housebound and have always loved video games. It all just seemed to fit.

Also whilst levelling I am listening to not only WoW podcasts but several Master Scholar courses and have started to learn German and French.

I guess I should just lay here and watch TV but forgive me for trying to enjoy myself.

For all those who wished me luck - many thanks.
Given the same circumstances, I might just do something equally as "crazy" - though maybe without a deadline

I wish you the very, very best of luck with this and look forward to seeing your multibox Christmas party if you make it!
