Hi, I thought I'd do a much overdue intro
I'm Bugatti (but I'm not really a car, I'm a real boy). A bit of history as I have progressed along the production line of life.
I have had a varied life, from being in the fabrication industry, Tradie, a Builder with University Engineering credentials, Transport industry, a Prescribed Officer(a position just below a Police Person , , , , I mean really, who would trust me with a gun
) , , , , and I gave that career up (which I loved) and fired my Builder's License up and currently do the smaller jobs, a Handyman so to speak. Which the flexibility suits my lifestyle and commitments.
Aaaaah, my commitments:
I was married to a lovely lady, who unfortunately struggled with mental illness & well-being. I supported her through our 20 years together, helped her get "better" and for a lack of a better description, the "new" person she had become, didn't want me as a partner anymore. Ironically, I helped her get better, but I'm happy that she is in a good place mentally. We are still a family, just not a couple. I still support my ex in many ways.
We have two kids, a strapping young man and a lovely young lady. Both struggle with their Demons too.
I have forgone my career to look after my wife at the time (and still now as my ex) and our family for the last 15-17 years. Hence the flexibility of being a Handyman allows me the ability to be there for them.
Also, my ailing Mum, who has a plethora of illnesses, some serious, with the most afflicting being Parkinson's Disease. So a fair bit of my time is also used looking after her , , , , instead of putting her into a Care facility for some dropkick to abuse her, or the lack of staff to leave her unattended to her detriment.
So, I look after three generations of my family.
I love fishing , , , , not as much the catching and bragging of the fish but all that is involved with fishing. I joined this site as an extension of that.
History. I was part of a SA based fishing forum, but was linched , , , , The owners would target me , , , , I have my thoughts as to why but it doesn't change anything. One owner even openly called me Boog atti , , , , laughable now really.
So, that might also explain why I don't stand for bad behaviour, and support anyone on here who gets targeted. I also like to give positive support to those who also stand up for truth, justice and the Bugatti way , , , , I think that is Super
I also am outspoken in supporting anyone with Mental or Physical well-being issues.
This may also explain, my in and out of this forum at times and odd hours I keep. I always take School Holidays off (went away with the kids, mates and a tribe of their kids & friends, report to come) and subsequently has been a very busy time trying to catch up once School was back.
There you have it , , , , A Whiskey drinking, smoking, tatted up bloke who is as varied as they come who thinks he is a Bugatti
Cheers, Bill
