Ah well, suppose I'd better contribute - just to show that there are a few more Brits lurking around the cafe.

I live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and am yorkshire born and bred! I live in a house full of 'young professionals' - their belongings and my three ferrets - McBeth, McDuff and Shredder (Shrednivashta).

It was raining when I walked into work (Sheffield Hallam University) - but the again, it often does in Sheffield!

I can't play any instrument, and consistently make up for lack of tunefullness in my singing with shear volume, but I spend some of my free time looking for songs to compile into an ever increasing collection, for fellow tuneless Mediaeval re-enactors to murder around the campfire, once all the public have left! Folk, modern - you name it, it's in - including various parodies (Anthem of the Ancient Britons - the song about Woad, to the tune of 'Men of Harlech' - is one fine example!).

Well, better go and earn my crust - look forwards to seeing who else is out there,
