[Robin]

Be warned everybody, there's a rivalry between brits and aussies about everything. We'll always somehow manage to find a way of annoying each other. To all the brits out there, does anybody else share the national love of football or am I on my own? Oh thanks for the welcome everybody. Looking forward to all the discussions.

[Kimber]

Lol Be careful Robin...one of the moderators is an Aussie ;)

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

She'll be right. Terri's mostly harmless. :D

[Carol]

There are a few Yanks here as well. Just to add culture and witty repartee

[Robin]

Hey Margaret what do you mean by mostly harmless. I'll probably still take the mick anyway. It's kind of a habbit. To all the americans in the group, please never call football soccer, that's just wrong.

And dont call baseball rounders either. Learned the hard way about that one.

[Robin]

But isn't baseball just a glorified version of rounders? LOL. I'll probably get severe words after that comment. I think it would be kind of funny if I tried to get an American to explain all the rules of cricket. Does everybody see what I mean about taking the mick being a habbit.

Have to call it soccer (spelt with 2 c's btw), we have a different game called football.

[Robin]

I Could never get into American football. I've always preferred rugby.

[Jim]

I'm about done with The Good Earth. It's been interesting, but I'll never want to read it again.

[Bobby]

Don't know how we ever started calling it football.....hardly ever touches the foot! Happen to be a Yank that works sports TV here and mostly American college football. But also a Yank that's a big Crystal Palace fan. Good to see them establishing themselves in Premier League.

Jim, have you ever seen the 1930's version of The Good Earth with Paul Muni? Try and find it. Superb

Wolves of Rome by Christopher Lee Buckner. I like this book.

The Maid

[Robin]

Bobby when I was on holiday in America, I always got confused when people started talking about football. AS soon as I heard football, I started talking about Manchester United. The people around me were like no we're not talking about soccer. LOL.

Not untastefully so. I'm concentrating on what the characters are going through--their emotions...

I just started a fun read by The Medieval Murderers. This is a joint effort by a number of writers ofhistorical mysteries.

I haven't read that one yet, but I've read the first four in the series and enjoy them too.

Have any of you read beyond the first one; is it worth the investment?

[Mark]

Not yet, have planned to read them in December. Checked my friends lots of 4stars

[Darcy]

Good to hear. I may hold off until the new year, but I'm thinking number two for sure.

Great. Now I've just added all 10 books of this series. Sometimes I'm not sure if I like this thread or not lol.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Eeeeek. I didn't know there was a new one.

[Robin]

Can anybody recommend a similar series to Bernard Cornwell's Saxon tales series starting with The Last Kingdom. I very much enjoyed this series, can't find anything similar though.

Have you read his earlier "Warlord Chronicles"? Similar but set a few hundred years earlier.
