I play around with a bit of historical work with a local society and a bit of book production and film work. Google possierons channel to see my blue mountains film. Thats where I live. I keep two browsers open, Firefox and Internet Explorer one as me the other as my alter ego. I can even message myself from one to the other and keep myself company. Everything is open while the puta is on.

Thanks Ausjack. as a young fellow in England I lived in a small village Colston Bassett. Near Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood and all that. I lived in a house opposite a 900 year old Norman Church. I think that's where my history interests come from.  Born a Pom grew up Aussie thats the possie bit. Thats my Avatar pic with the pom aus link. here's a pic of the church. It is my computer screen pic. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5226/5588833459_a192e165ab_z.jpg

If it's of interest I will tell a bit more. Enter this in google maps and see for yourself...  Spring Hill, Nottingham, NG12 3FR, UK ... ( just copy and paste )  I lived in the cottage on the right on spring hill. The church is in the field opposite. The village and church etc, are on the heritage list so the church is maintained as an historic building. The village name. Col is an old Viking name. Ton is old Norwegion for land. As in the Tundra now. Colston was Cols land. After the crusades in the 1200s this area of land was Granted to a knight by the name of Bassett. Hence Colston Bassett. Many English place names include Ton. Relate to this and it falls into place. Another place nearby is Melton Mowbray. Same name beginings. That produces and is known as the Pork Pie capitol of England.

Very interesting, we have a place called canberra out here that's full of pork pies :mocking: sorry. And it's funny how australia has such a mix of names and even the street names like my last address of jackschon ave sounds very german to me but then there's heaps from everywhere, dutch etc and of course english and that area and a bit of useless trivia is between here and coffs we have a Sherwood Forest as well :good:
