Greetings all! I've been enabled onto this forum by shapeshifter. I'm not here to get away from anything or anything like that, I'm just here! I learned about good coffee a little while back. I don't have any special super duper gear or anything. Currently I have a new, used (I've had it a day) Rancilio Silvia with an Auber PID kit on it (and no idea what PID stands for), a currently retired (awaiting collar replacement if I get around to it) SB EM6910, SB EM0480 grinder I got at the same time at the SB machine, and a later addition of a FZ-RR 700 Baby Roaster - the motorised version (I ordered the non motorised, they accidentally shipped me the motorised one, and kindly let me keep it with no price adjustment). And oh hey, I have on order a Pullman tamper and basket, bit of an indulgence but what's life for if not the occasional indulgence? Apart from that I am working on a PhD (social psychology), I am a parent, I have horses and dogs and cats and fish and birds and chooks and things. I love my Kindle e-reader! I read lots of different things. I like to watch Doctor Who and The Goodies and Mythbusters and various docos about science and history and a range of stuff but don't watch lots of TV overall and don't do it mindlessly. I can quote some Monty Python skits and exchanges from movies verbatim. (I went with my dad to the Sydney premier of Life of Brian! That was a while back. Yes I'm not a spring chicken.) Erm ... is that enough? 😉 Oh yeah ... me and the chat board ... FEAR ME!!! (most especially when shapeshifter is there too - you'd better be typing fast 😛 ). Well really I don't spend much time on chat boards but the chat board being on the front page ... it's hard to avoid!!
