In my early days on TSNS discovering my latent naturism, I recall being inspired by Paul's site being so open about his naturist life. I also gained similar strength from Nigel - Nib's site for the same reasons - his naturism was entirely open and intertwined with his normal life - not needing to be SN much - just in parts.
I haven't visited either site for years, however, and I just searched for Nigel's. Wow! It's changed! Different URL and blossomed forth into quite a magnum opus and isn't mostly about naturism any more (hardly at all). Neverthless, I can see why he doesn't post here as much as he used to - must have occupied many leisure hours just creating the website. Presumably Cath had a hand in it too. Well done Nigel & Cath! Was there a reason the naturist content went? Hopefully just that there was so much other stuff to talk about!
Do you mind if I post the url here in case our long standing friends have not seen it?
I realise we have stuff in common - canals and ISIRTA. I've been a long term devotee of 'I'm Sorry' and used to listen every week when a teenager. When you listen to it today most of it is still fresh as a daisy and even some of the contemporary topical comments remain funny as they are often skits and satire on eternal human traits.
Also a general desire for the knowledge of the esoteric. I admire (although don't share) your interest in slide rules and share the transition from slide rule to electronic calculator in the early 70s (Sinclair Cambridge was a bit too complicated for me, I had a casio 4 function with sq root and memory!) And I loved the 'Ancient to SI' conversions e.g. US cup to cu m, how many Joules in a ton of tnt and I learned that a foot-lambert is 3.42 candelas per square decimetre and that a perch is a square rod! Never knew that when we did our imperial tables at school!
All power to your naked elbow, sir!
