Cool thread.
My name's Emmanuel, I'm a registered nurse working in psychiatry. I spent most of my days with patients suffering from bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, paranoïa and melancholy. Psychotics.
I'm living in France, was born near Versailles but moved to Bordeaux for my work.

OK, I bought another jacket on Ebay! Aaargh! :eeek:
I just couldn't resist. I was so pleased with the quality of my Aero A2, that I immediately put things on sale to finance another one. My stuff got sold quicker than expected so I snagged this nice Highwayman in Cherry Steerhide, which is not...
