    Yeah, sure.  :)

    Mate, I *fear* walking the streets in broad daylight! You do know that 
in this country we have the peculiar habit of saying 'sorry mate' when we 
bump into someone else in a crowded street? I do it all the time, seriously. 
Apparently, we here are quite unique for doing this. I know why, it's to 
take conflict out of the situation before it even arises - if you're lucky 
that is. I bet you anything, that you avoid looking a guy in the eye as much 
as possible, right? I'm the same! I've been there and done that, it's not 
nice if they take offence.

  You know Andrew, and this is what I *seriously* think you should do; start 
taking karate lessons or judo, or any one of the other many self defense 
classes near to you. Let's say it's two hours a week. First off, I think 
you'll love it. You certainly have the body for it, you're quite a big guy. 
You'll meet new people, both sexes, young and old. You'll gain confidence 
like you've never had before, and... if you follow it through, you will walk 
through the street and hold your head up high. It will take time, and you 
will have to work at it, and you HAVE to 'want' to do it, but the end result 
would be SO worth it. Seriously Andrew, consider it.

   And always remember, bigger guys than you can fall hard... They're not 
invincible:

      See above.
