Areas of Interest
Kareem
year, (yeah), would everyone mind posting, BRIEFLY, their area of interest.
I think I know a few, like Rabid Bee's and New's, but not most, and believe
we could stimulate the discussions more if we new more about each other.
Besides, the discussions, though interesting, are deteriorating into current
events, culture, genetics, etc.
Please DO NOTsnip previous poster's info when adding your own, so that the
latest post will be most complete. Please DO snip bylines and auto
signatures. Also, keep it brief and please mention your handle AND how you
sign your posts, if they are different, i.e.. Alex/Rabid Bee.
I'll go first.

I think I popped into Chalgrove once, on the way up the M40. I have
never been to Thame - no doubt the Hampden Society chappy who pops up
regularly will now ostracise me :-) In my defence, I've been in exile

So I've heard. Not a bad thing, actually. With swindon coming down,
it's time to renew the "Twyford Triangle" rivalry. Plus, with the
burgeoning rivalry with Wycombe developing, it looks like we might have
a few derbies next year!... And another three points from the Manor...

Michael and all:
I've been a lurker for most of the time since I found this NG, and like
Michael, have been more active on SHM. However, I'm gathering material for
a book that takes place in medieval Britain, so I guess now is a good time
to delurk whenever something interesting comes up!

Absolutely no reason why you should? If it's topic about British

newsgroup? I personally have little interest in modern or contemporary
