| My room is very neat, organised and colour-coordinated. Everything's in its proper place, and my wardrobe items are arranged by category. It's important to me that my living space is clean and orderly, and that the decor and furniture blend well. The other main feature of my bedroom's style is that ... |

| Yes, Black Books and The IT Crowd have been recommended to me a number of times. :) I must make sure to check them out sometime soon... For British comedy films, I don't think you can beat Withnail and I: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P26horlVUmI[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/w... |

| Hey, everybody. :) I'm a fan of many British comedies of the past few decades, and I thought it would be a good idea to create this thread so like-minded people could discuss this subject. So, what are everybody's favourite sitcoms, sketches and stand-up routines? To help get this thread started, I'... |

| Interesting question... I think the front runners would be £100,000 or so to save away, a six-pack of Old Jamaica ginger beer, an M&S clotted cream rice pudding (raspberry jam included), an HTC Sensation smartphone, box sets themed around all my favourite TV shows and film directors, the necessa... |

| Yes, I have a few abilities that could be seen as being somewhat unusual: - I have perfect pitch. I'm able to recognise single notes played anywhere on the piano, as well as clusters of up to 4 random notes. - I have a better-than-average memory, especially for details that other people might not no... |

| Wow, I thought I was the only one who had this problem! This has been an issue for me for quite a number of years. My primary 'obsession' is usually some social science field or other, and my main route to exploring this interest is reading the relevant material. But, like many others who've already... |

| Yes, I think that Mimi Blais is a pleasure to listen to. :) I admire her skill as a pianist and as an interpreter of classic rags. Not overly familiar with her work, though - or with that of contemporary ragtime performers in general. I'm fond of the music of Charles Trenet and Zarah Leander, but my... |

| Hey, everyone. :) I'm very fond of ragtime and traditional jazz music, and I wondered if there were any WP members out there with similar tastes. As my avatar suggests, I'm a great fan of Jelly Roll Morton in particular... Would anybody else care to mention some favourite artists, compositions or re... |

| Thanks for the welcomes, all. :) Well, what are your interests? :) Broad question. I guess my biggest 'academic' interest is human societies and the way they've developed over time, but I have tended to switch my focus between different branches of this subject (history, politics, sociology, etc.). ... |

Don't really have all that much to say about myself, but I'd be fine with answering questions. 
There's nothing else of relevance to include in this post, so hello WP! |
