And I'm also an amateur astronomer, but very much lapsed. But I do still have a nice telescope.

Actually - I might be one of the few on here that has experience of making homemade wine.... :)

Scary, could almost be my twin :eek: Currently have telescope gathering dust in the shed (I'm more into theoretical astrophysics) and 3 gallons of elderflower wine currently fermenting away in the kitchen.

Nice. I've been banned from making any wine this year as we're having a re-jig of our kitchen / dining room and I don't need demijohns laying about :(

2 years ago I made a lovely elderberry, and a delightful rose from a second fermenation on the fruit pulp.

I've only been doing it for three or four years, so still at the stage of more misses than hits. I have had to scale back production as we were running out of storage space - all the blackberry/elderberry aging in the cupboard under the stairs means I have to be more focused this year, though my bramble at the end of the garden has gone beserk, so looks like a bumper crop ahead...

One of the favourite wines I make in our house is dandelion - very nice crisp white.

Folly wine is also a really nice white (I have a couple of vines in the garden).

- Football Manager and other gaming things (one of many I don't doubt)
- Marvel related media and associated characters (probably not the only one), with a healthy knowledge of other comic related things (DC can do one)
- A baffling amount of trivia, though I will be the first to admit I've no idea where from

I've got some Sangiovese and Vernaccia vines, from which I make a bit.

On topic: I don't think there's anything that I would be prepared to say that I am likely to be NSC's oracle about - there are too many people with too many undisclosed interests to make that bold claim. I guess there's a few things that I suspect I have a decent amount of knowledge about; but I can't think of anything unique. An example: I've not seen anyone post anything about barbel fishing (a subject I know quite a bit about), but I just know that there'll be lots of whisker-tempters out there...!

Do you get good wine from the Sangiovese? Red grapes need a lot of sunlight to ripen well enough to make wine in the UK.

I'll challenge you on that one SB!

Oh no, I wasn't meaning only expert, I'll always bow to your knowledge.
But when lined up with NSC "I'll take PED's for 200", and will expect to take the points.

Come now, Jem, is there such a thing as too much here? If we all club together, we could persuade Gentle Despite to make a half-time pitch appearance maybe, or get Claire to write an angsty column in the programme?

You're onto something here... :)
