Roll Call

[Hopper]

Evenin' all

Just realised, i've been here a month and still not posted on this thread.

I'm Tim, 34, and live in Manchester, England. I am an archaeologist by trade, specialising in the Bronze Age of the Aegean.
Collected Series 1 & 2 when i was younger, but as you all did, I grew up and put my beloved AF into the loft, blah, blah, blah.

Recently got them out and wham! I'm addicted again!

Anyway, great to be here.

Sounds like a great job Tim ! do you get to carry a bullwhip ?

[Sundance]

at least tell us you wear a fedora!

[Hopper]

"do you get to carry a bullwhip ?"

Only at the weekends
Rest of the time, i'm strictly professional!

No, its a great job - I get to work on Crete! I doesn't pay very well though, and i'm still looking for a University lecturing post, but they're hard to come by anyway, and with the recession and all...

If anyone has one going spare, I'll swap you for a complete Z Force Minesweeper in great condition!

Funny you should say that Sundance, if I'm in the field I do have a Fedora! (no Nazis, and no gun though )
It can get pretty hot, with 50 degree heat and more, no shelter and on a bare hillside... it's amazing how quickly you start to feel it!

And beside, it looks pretty cool!

Off there again in November, when Crete is surprisingly like England weather-wise.

do you also have a brown leather jacket ? are you a doctor ?

If so then you could be the BFTB's coolest member ?

[Hopper]

I have a brown waxed jacket that looks leathery for when i work in this country (does that count?)

But yes, I am a doctor, I got my PhD 3 years ago.

Maybe i should amend my online name to Dr Hopper!
