MM Links April 2011 [Week 1]

[middlestump]

Good morning to all MM Linkers. This is “The Count” (aka middlestump) embarking on my first attempt at setting these links following my unexpected success last month. I am a relative newcomer, but months of perseverance and early postings on AnswerBank have finally brought their just “reward” (I use the term loosely).

By way of an introduction, I was born in 1951 in Henley-On-Thames: a somewhat quiet Oxfordshire town for 51 weeks of the year, but is fuelled by adrenalin, testosterone and alcohol for the remaining week when it plays host to the Royal Regatta. Following a quite common route through the higher echelons of Education, I was born to working class parents and was the first in my family to go to grammar school and university. I took a Sociology degree, followed by a P.G.C.E., at Sussex.
