Hello everyone from NE England

[Akōgyokuseki 228]

I'd like to extend my greetings to you all from the chilly north east coast of England. Coming from this place, I can tell you there's not many people in which to 'talk sumo' with here (lol) so it's nice to see a forum like this. Like many people from England, I grew up watching sumo on channel 4, it was very much a family occasion, and my first memories of Konishiki, Mainoumi, Akebono, Taka and Waka will always stay with me.

I could go on some more but as an introduction I think that's enough (lol sorry) so I'll leave it here.

Thank you all

Hearty salutations from the Swami!

Welcome! Shields, eh? I was at uni in Newcastle from 1988-92/3-ish so I remember it well! Yeah, I got into sumo the same way. Memories...

Hi! Checking in from Newcastle :)

I know how you feel about the lack of people to talk to! Good job this forum is here.

Aw, thanks for your awesome comments lads and lassies, its great to hear from some fellow NE sumo fans...

autotroph, your so right, this forum is like an oasis...

Pandaazuma, I was watching some videos of that era just last night. Aye they were good days....
