He's a Dub anyway. Hooray for another Irish lad. It's yer round, son.

Hello. How did you find us?

Tell us a bit about yourself.

 

Shhon posted a link in an Irish thread on City Data Forum. Maybe s/he was out prospecting for new members here. CDF does not approve of posting links to "competitors" so it will be an issue if s/he continues. I'm (proudly) banned on CDF, so I only read a few threads of interest.
About myself. Been in the DC metro area since 1990. I'm retired now. Spent most of my working life inside the beltway, and live 5 minutes outside in Maryland. My main interest here will be politics and current affairs. I'm a center/left Democrat. Ask for anything else.

I have to leave early, catch me bedtime.

Hi, I'm not musical at all. Couldn't sing, dance, or cook to save my life. Hope to participate in several other areas.

Welcome to our forum, Buck 🙂

If singing, dancing and cooking's not your thing, what can you do?

Although I can no longer drink alcohol, I'm a bit of a wine geek, or apprentice wine snob, if you prefer.
My hobbies are mostly travel, reading, swimming, walking, dining out, and because I worked in the Washington DC bubble, politics and current affairs on a global basis.

Hey, you should feel right at home. I don't usually partake myself, but there's been a lot of discussion on US politics and a bit of elsewhere too in the lead-up to the election.

As a left-leaning Norwegian, the political winds are not at all in my favour (also not here in my own country), so politics as a topic is something I find mildly depressing, generally speaking 😄
