History Buff in Training...

[choccoweeble]

So having spent the last 26 years detesting history with a fiery, fiery passion (I put this down to some very poor and unenthusiastic teaching), after the aquisition of Sky television (and with it a number of history channels...), and some unconscious gentle prodding of my curiosity from wiserabbit I've come to the conclusion that it's actually fascinating.

After a two hour special on the "Lost Book of Nostradamus" several weeks ago, followed by "Cities of the Underworld" and then on to last weekend's Artificer, where my interest in heraldry was piqued by an equally interesting document, I'm officially hooked.

So, I think I've got a lot of catching up to do....

Off to Amazon for a long overdue purchase I think

I'm always too restless for documentaries and history stuff when I'm at home but I love watching it when I'm at my friend's place.

If you ever watch a history documentary with me, you will observe a little habit I have. I talk over history documentaries, sometimes correcting, sometimes arguing, and sometimes swearing.

Apparently its not as annoying as it sounds :-)

Which period you getting into?

I think medieval stuff is what's grabbing me at the moment, but I don't really know enough to know yet! Will just keep watching history channel :)

Or you could just watch Channel 5 for a few evenings, although you will also find out an awful lot about sharks.
