<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 4552634, member: 4298&quot;]A lot of interesting life stories, some very moving.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, I&#039;m the only very active french guy here at CT, being a member since 2005. I thank you folks for giving me the opportunity to improving my english, either at reading and writing it. I feel here at ease just like you would in a club or a pub, where people like to share things that passionate them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be 60 next week.</p><p>My only real ambition in life is to have my wife laughing, and she&#039;s been kind enough to laugh with me for the last 42 years. I&#039;ve been a GP during all my adulthood, we travel as much as possible, like to go to the pictures, and have fun with friends and our kids and grand daughter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting coins since I was 5 or so and started with ancient when my grand father gave me the Commodus sestertius he found during WWI (you all know the story and the coin). Living not far from Lyon (Lugdunum) in a little town situated east of this city, lead me to investigate about local coinage, and I discovered <i>la Dombes</i> a bit more than 20 years ago. I&#039;m trying to build as complete a collection as possible, and why not write something about them when I retire.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from coins, I collect health issues, the last one being a cornea degeneration, and although I&#039;m slowly becoming blind (I&#039;m due to cornea transplant next september) I always see the bright side of life (call me Brian) !!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m the optimistic guy in the story :</p><p>Pessimistic : <i>It couldn&#039;t be worse !</i></p><p>Optimistic : <i>Oh yes, it could very well be !!</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Q</p><p><br /></p><p>PS : [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] : From the first time I read a post of yours Sir, I&#039;ve admired your style, humour, taste and knowledge. No one is in your place to decide whether you like the person you are or not, but I know for sure, quite a lot of people like you, man !</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
