Hi,
I joined SVR on 06 Jan, after finding "another place" not to my liking. I've been into the Roman Empire and Republic since I read The First Man In Rome a few years ago. I revisited the novel a couple of months ago and thought is wasn't as good as I thought it was. I really like anything Roman, the more you know about them the more you realise that our culture has been influenced so much by what they did. This country has never recovered since they left in 410 ad.
In real life I'm a Signaller Manager, in charge of the people who operate railway signals in the Liverpool and North Cheshire area. I 'm a Linux enthusiast (I also stray into FreeBSD and other Unix types occasionally) and write tutorials and SF. I read lots, play guitar badly, and speak decent French. I enjoy learning foreign languages, I know enough Spanish to make sense of written articles and learned some latin because I liked Spanish so much. I have an interest in Russian and can manage some German, but I don't really enjoy it.
I have a 23 year old Kawasaki 750 for wandering about on, I buy French cars and believe that England should be a republic.
Anyway , that's enough about me. Nice to be here,
valete,
Gaius Cornelius Severus
