Well apart from irritating people who do appear on the boards by reading those who don't appear on the boards, I thought I'd give this a quick once over. Maybe my whole philosophy is wrong and I need a re-write/think. About everything. Suffice to say I gave up at:
DAD
This is a warning to act. It’s
coming from a good place, but I
will not let you waist your
potential.

Oh, don't worry, Simon.
You irritate people for a lot more than just that, trust me. ;D

I think you have the record for longest opening block of action/description.
You give a very extended character description as well. Most of what you tell us is what you should probably be showing us. You go very in depth with it.
I got through a few pages, but honestly, the EXTREMELY long descriptions had me just sort of skimming after that. I would definitely recommend cutting them down as much as possible.
Also, your time travel device thing sounds very made up to me: "Transmodulated Operational Recreator of Chaos Hybrid device". Although, I do like the acronym TORCH.
