Hello - I'm Weedram (my nickname) and I'm a new user to Wikipedia as contributer. I use Wikipedia on a daily basis. I enjoy using it as it is true to the original ethos of the internet as a sourse of knowldge which can be shared and added to or corrected.At the moment I'm using a video blog to help me create my new page.

ABOUT ME
I'm from a small town in North Lanarkshre Scotland - one of many mining towns in that area.

I was educated at a local primary school and high school.

I trained as a nurse and worked at a local hospital for 2 years.

In my early years I traveled extensively throughout Scotland and Ireland.

Some years later I attended further education collage and then University in Glasgow where I studied arts and social science and gained a BA Hons Degree

LIFE
I had the good fortune to resume my nursing career and worked offshore as a paramedic. This allowed me to work on diving and survey ships and I was priveledged to sail to Canada, Africa, India, and Brasil. When sailing to Africa I took part in an old sailors tradition of "crossing the line" which is an initiation rite when crossing the equator that bestows King Neptunes favour to all that sail the seas.The ceremony dictates that all new sailors must own up to a crime and then be punished for their misdemeanors. I was punished by the Lord of the Seas for stealing chocolate from the ship's bond and duly thrown into a tub of slops from the galley waste.

NOW
I enjoy life.

This is a basic start to my page.
