Well here goes
Was a member of the Royal College of Psychiatry Philosophy Group but taking early retirement.
Identity, Moral rights and Duties are my specific 'philosophical' interests but as we all know once you start talking philosophy boundaries break.

So Forensic Psychiatrist sounds interesting - deciding if people are mentally fit to stand trial, that sort of thing?
Identity is an interesting area too, I struggle with it to be honest, what are your thoughts on that?

Gertie, I'm with Derek Parfitt, the more you analyse identity, the less content there is to it. The beauty of Parfitt is that having demonstrated our desparate desire for identity to be meaningful is daft, he consoles us by pointing out it doesn't matter.

Re: Well here goes
I suspect BrynTyrch is an ancient Wellic word, meaning "brain thirst"? Which is a Wellic idiom meaning "hunger for knowledge".
BTW, I am half-Hungarian, half-Welsh. For a while I used to call myself Well-Hung for short, but too many disappointed ladies wanted to kill me ad acta, therefore I call myself now half-Hungarian, half Jewish.
