Look forward to meeting you in 2011

Well, Bill, there is a simple reason you were wholly unable to compete with those Scotsmen for Martha's attention- you are English :p

Welcome to the forum mate

P.S. Actually, I have mates in your neck of the woods- in the Rudgeley area.

Hats off to Martha, an American calling it by its proper name and not soccer ;)

If we're going to be playing a game the rest of the world plays, we should call it what the rest of the world calls it. Football. :)

Hello Martha,
I live in the Midlands and I am surrounded by many Football teams,Wolverhampton Wanderers,West Bromwich Albion,Birmingham City to name a few,But I grew up supporting Aston Villa one day they will come good:) I hope.
Who do you support ?
I think the U.S.A stand a good chance in the World Cup b.t.w

Yes, I am familiar with those teams. Don't know if Aston villa will ever 'come good' but one can always hope. :D I am a Southampton supporter. I know, I know. :o

Hi Bill, I am indeed Scottish, moved here 9 years ago (but my family name is originally derived from French knights who settled in Sussex after kicking your rear ends in 1066 :p). By the way, my mate Andy from Rudgeley is also a diehard Villa supporter, as was my other friend Kate, who incidentally also lived beside Cannock Chase until a few years ago when she got married and moved to Cambridge. We were all students at Edinburgh Uni in the 90s, after which time I emigrated over here to the Colonies in 2000.

Anyway, back to the fish! I've only been keeping discus since June this year, but thanks to all the incredibly knowledgeable and super nice folks on here :), I've learned a massive amount about these stunning fish. Hand feeding them in my 90g BB is something I especially enjoy doing :D. Nowadays, when anyone comes to visit, as soon as they walk into my living room and see the fish, they stop in their tracks and go "Wow!". Kenny Cheung really did an outstanding job picking out my fish :D:D:D.

Look forward to seeing pics of your wilds on here- like everything else in the UK, I imagine discus are extraordinarily expensive there...

Cheers,

Colin
