Steven means Victory + Caesar I was born 247 LEO/Felix legion. also, Buddha's birthday.

I'm on a disability pension due to schizophrenia.  and anxiety.

This means I have trouble concentrating on chess.

My mother in medical history was the first woman to survive an emergency C-section the old-fashioned way (not some modern keyhole procedure like these days)

My head was too big for my mother's birth canal, with labor starting 7:30pm and I was delivered around 11:30 pm... Then to make things worse when i was about 1 year old my mother slides down the stairs with me.   when my stepsister's black poodle "tina" charged between my mother's legs. When 2 to 3 years old I could walk but refused to. The doctor said i was lazy as i walked straight away for him and run. I just didn't want to risk hurting my head. 

Ralph (fathers name) means RAedwolf from Saxon Middle English (FOX)

means Wisdom Council (Roman Consul) Cunning

Dads Family Pickles dad had 5 small business/trades including a FORD dealership at one stage during his life. He trained 6 apprentices and employed 10 employees in total over the years. The last business was a Harvey World Travel Franchise. where my mother run it with my father before they retired. My family name means Crofter. (Gentleman farmer) But they didn't invest in the share-market. (1 aborted attempt losing money).

Grandfather Earnest Pickles was a steel "pickler" taking molten steel out of the blast furnaces at Sheffield Steel Mills. during the Blitz. (Working Class origins and the reason why I had a public-school education). When I was 7 years old, I was given the choice between private boarding school and government state school.

Mother Frost ice crystal (nobility links money and gentry) housewife worked later in life.

Grandfather Arnold Frost was chauffeur to Lady Elizabeth Carr (his mother) until her death and drove the Buses during the Blitz in Sheffield Yorkshire England. He was a professional driver all his life. ..All of 2 times great grandfather John Frost's children were adopted by Sir Carr.

The Carr family inherited money from Lord George Wilson: "Snuff" one of 10 beneficiaries.  My Great Aunt "Liz" Frost adopted by Sir Carr and had surname changed by repoll and she was e lifelong companion to Lady Carr had many estates and a 50% stake in Bentley Motors. Which is the car that His Majesty King Charles III uses. 

Most of the family's wealth was lost fighting the NAZIS. as assets were confiscated for war bonds. and never paid back by the British government even to this day.

My Uncle Ron Chapman was a RAF officer with the OSE and highest decorated British

serviceman of WW2. winner of the British Victoria cross swords diamonds and clusters and the French Legion of Honour. I had the Privilege of wearing his medals during a Armistice Day Parade in Port Douglas in 1975 where I was escorted by Queensland RSL President Bruce Ruxton to stop anyone stealing them.  It is WW2 where the saying he was a good "chap" comes from.in movies.

He didn't talk about his World War 2 life even up to his death. what little got was from mother.

He was given a state funeral with full military honors, with the Royalty in attendance and Nancy Wake the "white mouse". There also. My mother and myself watched it on TV. from Australia. .

On my mother's side my 3 times great grandmother Rose Betts was a full blood, Gypsy Princess. so, Spiritualism and the Psychic and Mystic Arts are in my genes.
