    Hello from the UK

    Hi all,
    I'm new on this forum and I thought it would be nice to introduce myself.

    Me: Dutch girl living in the UK and quite new to this obsession.
    I'm collecting books and info and I've been indulging in this JtR heaven on info.

    And as we are in the forum pub: drinks are on me.

      There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                  I'm not sure there is a wrong idea. On the informational threads we tend to be very professional. On the social ones... we're just as odd a lot as any other internet gathering.

                    That's why I like the social ones "Odd" seems to fit.

                      Hello Akrigg

                      Firstly welcome to Casebook, and I hope you find your time here as rewarding as I have...

                      Please forgive the immature comments from the still-adolescent 40 or 50 year olds who have previously commented...I'm a mature and mellow 61, and mine's a double scotch please...

                      It genuinely would be interesting though to know what it was, as a "Dutch girl", as you put it, that grabbed your attention...I notice you're beginning to gather books...what have you so far?

                      All the best

                      Dave

                          Make sure you stay in the lines.

                          Something by the way which I could never do.

                              Love the comments! Made me chuckle this cold morning.
                              Thanks for the warm welcome!

                              My interest got sparked after I received a book set as a gift and one of them was the life of JtR.
                              I already heard a lot about it but it never really registered until then.

                              Now, I'm an info addict!
                              I want to know everything, read everything and well..joining you lot of course
