spotlight on Fred(dead head bed, no relation to straight up Fred)

[sway2sway]

I know the spotlights were becoming a bit of an obsessive compulsive disorder around here. But I don't remember hearing about you Fred. What do you do all day? detailed timeline please. (and ya know we love ya, you are the phamily's research department)

Well....my main hobie is to have english lessons by trying to understand your amazing posts in this forum and it's so far to be successful. I'm 40, live near Paris, no kids. My job is to do informatic programmation all day long, nothing exciting but it surely helps for finding good news on the net. In my young days, I was playing the guitar in a heavy metal band, it was fun but terrible
for our friends ears. Now, what I like is just to listen to Music, searching for new amazing bands, going to concerts(most recent one was "the rolling stones", next one is a "tribute to ac/dc" concert), practicing snowboard at winter time and running (Next week-end, there's this running race, 20 kilometers of Paris, we will be 20 thousands mad people to participate). What else?...my new haircut is shorter than the Tink's one, absolutely no hair on cranium...
now back to the research.

Thanks Fred, glad to help with the english. I've never been to Europe, so I always enjoy reading your perspective/stories/whatever it may be.

I live 20 miles in the south of Paris. Yes Parisians don't like too much foreign people, are arrogant. tourists often complain about that. but France deserve to be visisted for the lanscapes, wine and cheese!
