Shinydan 5 Posted April 3, 2018 Hello! I’m Shinydan, I hail from Portsmouth in Hampshire, UK, and I’ve been a Sumo fan since Channel 4 started showing it in 1987. I was incredibly happy to find the NHK World highlights show on my tv, and watch it at every opportunity. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he means that Portmouth is the first place he’s visited of all places mentioned on the forum, not that he’s the first person on the forum to visit Portsmouth. For what it’s worth, I’ve been there several times as I’m from the city next to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
