My philosophy is fairly simple, I do not believe everything I see and hear, I don't care what anybodies race, colour, creed or sexual orientation is, just as long as whatever they do, doesn't adversely affect me or anybody else. I was born and baptised as a catholic, I was recently asked if I was a lapsed catholic, I replied 'No, I just got better.'
