We moved to the Carse of Gowrie - and hence the Carse bit.
Goodlifers - we finally had a garden - could grow our f+v again having given up the allotment and hoped to get a bit of land near our house for other stuff - hens, perhaps sheep.  Despite trying and asking the question, this hasn't happened (yet).

We were working on dive boats in Sudan and I bought a Honda Pan European motorbike on Ebay - rather liked the marriage of Sudan and Pan......

Most of my online pixel names begin with a Q because it is a more rarely used letter.

It amuses me ( far more than it should) that I will one day impart some stunning insightful knowledge to which someone will reply with - Thank you Q.  (hasn't happened yet  :'( )

well that just ruined the James Bond connection !

My "day job" is as a Consultant in Anaesthetics and Critical Care: TIVA is Total Intra-Venous Anaesthesia, an anaesthetic technique that I am a particular advocate of. Tiva Diva was a nickname given to me by the American Operating Theatre team that I worked with in the British Field Hospital at Camp Bastion: we all had khaki T-shirts with our nicknames on the sleeve. It stuck, (the nickname, not the T-shirt!) I like it and use it in a few other internet forums as well as this one  ;D

……apart from my stupid middle name :-\

What?  "And" ?  :D

I'm Womble just because I'm a Womble, and that's a good thing to remember  ;).

I'm quite a resourceful chap, I'd rather make something I need than buy something I don't, and quite often that's done by utilising the stuff that the everyday folks leave behind..... or flytip  ;D

I'm a woman who keeps goats in her back garden and lives in Madeley. Every time I talked about keeping goats to my mum, she says, "You must be mad." I answer to MGM as the rest is a bit of a mouthful.

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Totally unoriginal, it's the name of our farm.  I believe it was once, many moons ago, the richest farm in Scotland, on the back of wool sales, sadly not any more!

My real name is Louise.
