Cool. Are you a student here or a resident? (Or both, like me.)

I'm a grad student and, as such, live here year-round, but I'm from the US (well, more or less). I also did my undergrad study here.


You're doing grad work after having done your undergrad here? You're more tolerant of the university than I am! Or possibly you have a better department. I'm a mathematician, and have a very very low opinion of our department. What do you do?

I'm an archaeologist. Actually, I did my undergrad work, went away to work for a bit, did an MA at Durham, and now I'm back here. I wasn't an undergrad in archaeology though, but in history. We have a pretty good department here, though -- good access to the things I need for my work, good people in my field.

This thread got much more response this year than last.

Crashing Consternation sounds like a laugh.

I've only been to one of these before (Conjuration in 2003) but it was a good time. A very pleasant, laid-back con atmosphere, very friendly.

Nothing wrong with Coventry.
OK, well *parts* of it are quite nice.

Oddly, I still have no idea how I ended up here, though.

I didn't spot it last year Matt, so thought it was worth resurrecting.

Hello all.

I'm in Hertfordshire, near Watford.

Incidentally this is also my first post!  Have lurked for a while, and am finding the site very interesting.

Do any of us? Coventry is somewhere you end up; not chose to be.

Never again.

Another Brit here, living in Chorley, Lancashire.  I have been lurking a little bit but there is just so much to take in on this site it is very easy to get overwhelmed by it all I guess.  By the way anyone interested in a Sorcerer game in Lancashire?

Yes, me too, in London.

Doug Ruff and contracycle are British too? Wow. I never knew.
