Ray made me do this!
After quietly wandering the halls of BE for a while now, I thought that I should follow the rules of Ray-who-should (sometimes) be obeyed, and say hello and introduce myself.
As you can see from my highly original username, I'm Stuart (or Stoooooart as the locals say it). Moved across the pond in Aug 2007 on a IR-1 visa with my USC better half and 3 children and settled in small town Wisconsin (no, I have no idea why either
). In our two years here, our household has grown, to include two foster kids and two cats (the true masters of our home 
).
I am originally from Clydebank, just outside Glasgow, but 23 years in RAF, serving Queen, country and whoever was in the White House, has seen me living in numerous muddy fields, deserts and such exotic places as Belize and Basingstoke! Having retired from this glamorous lifestyle, I now spend my nights building corporate jets for car company execs to fly on begging trips to Washington in.
There that's me introduced. Having now broken my silence, I look forward to joining the serious discussions you all have here
and getting to know all you good folks better.
Best wishes,
Stu

Hey Stoooo
Welcome to BE. BTW don't wear the Davy Crocket coon tail hat on here. Ray might think you are a squirrel and shoot.

Re: Ray made me do this!
Yeah best show ever. Parts of it were filmed in Clydebank so it was always a challenge to try and spot someone I knew in the background...if I could stop laughing long enough
Ray...I know deep down you truly love the Scots and your gruffness and hostility is all for show
Pleased to meet another Bankie abroad, spreading our culture to the masses
Thank you all for your warm welcome.............even Ray.
