this has to be the lamest reason going but I was watching a Gregory Peck movie on some random TV channel in the UK this morning (GMT
) and he referred to his five-year-old charge that she was as "hard as wang leather". having been in the leather industry years ago but not knowing that type I was curious and googled it.
this place, your very own forum, was the only sensible answer I found without going to ludicrous extremes. true.
I then checked out the basic forum yadda-yadda stuff and almost immediately found mention of the 'virtual tavern' and that was it, decision made, and the rest is history (actually it's not history that's sheer bollocks, it's just bringing us up to now).
