Hey welcome on board! Initially I'll be relying on my Facebook friends but anyway I'll get going.
If you don't already know me then the boring bit's on the right.
If you do then welcome to The Bart's Blog.
Perhaps I'd better start with a bit about where my handle came from.
Bart. Before you ask, I had that nickname long before The Simpsons came along. My nickname at school (with varying degrees of affection) was Stoey. In my first year of Senior School there was one boy a few years above who would stand tauntingly in front of me and say in a sing-song voice "Stoey THE Bart!". I didn't like this and therefore Bart stuck. But when some of the cuter girls in my year group started using it and some of the small handful who could make me laugh at myself started using it too, I grew more fond of it.
One ex-enemy now a friend would see me coming and cry in alarm, "The Bart! The Bart!"
I didn't like this to start with but ironically it was after I left that I started calling myself "The Bart". I guess it sounded a bit like "The Doctor", as in Doctor Who (but more of my love for that perennial classic in a later post).
So here I am. Call me what you will, the full name's Christopher Luke Stobart for those curious. I popped out on 16/11/73 so life will begin in a couple of years or so from now... Meanwhile where's it all gone?
Well here we are for now. Catch you soon!
