Hello hivers.
This is a return to blogging for me after many years away so expect a few rusty posts while I find my feet on this new platform. It's going to be quite diverse posting for a while too, my years in the wilderness have brought with them a wide range of new experiences and interests which I hope to share and see which spark the most interest.
I am back in the city of my birth, Leicester, which is situated slap-bang in the centre of the UK, about as far from the sea as you can get. I did escape to the idyllic coast of Cornwall for many years but the old town drew me back eventually, but that is a whole different story.

Leicester is most widely known world wide for the recent successes of it's football team Leicester City including the greatest (and most unlikely) sporting upset of all time - winning the English Premier League at 5,000-1 odds. The magnitude of this is highlighted by the odds of finding Elvis alive being only 1,000-1. Being a major nerd, I have a deep rooted affinity for odds and the mathematical side of betting. If there's interest I can share some of my insights plus my latest project building betting tools for a new website in development.

Alongside my love of our football team, I also have a deep interest in the rich local history of Leicester, which dates back to Roman times and beyond. I hope to share some of this, from the widely publicised finding of the remains of King Richard III in a city car park, to some of the perhaps lesser well known gems like the Green Bicycle Murder.

Other major interests to report are the unique beers and drinking culture of Britain, as seen from both sides of the bar, and also music, the consumption and creation of which have led me astray since childhood. I like to keep busy!

Hello @mingetoot,
An Official Welcome to Hive!
It's a different world of blogging, so don't mind being a little rusty, you'll find your way.
I'm intrigued and eager to hear more about the lovely city of Leicester, football, and more about you in general.
We are more than happy to guide you, and I see you got an invitation to check out the communities.
Please be sure to reach out for any assistance:)
Enjoy🍺
I will, thank you.
Ok, I am going to twit your intro post. Could you look out for it and respond to it so I can give you some general tips for hive. I know that you are not active on social media. I am not either:)
Hello, @mingetoot! This is @anggreklestari from the @OCD team. We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive Blockchain! Congratulations and welcome!
Well, you can explore the communities that are suitable for your content. You can read some of the communities in this post: OCD Communities Incubation Program
For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.
If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the tips!

Welcome to Hive. I know Leicester fairly well as our daughter was at the university. There are lots of Hivers in the Midlands and around the UK. I hope you can meet some of them. Have fun!

Cheers! I was assistant bar manager at Leicester Uni halls of residence for a while. Quite some time ago though. I think it was about a pound a pint!
When I went to Coventry Poly I think bitter was about 65p :) I may have spent a fair bit of my grant on beer. I think current students may be a bit more frugal as they have to pay it back.
So, on a tangent, just popped on your profile to give you a cheeky follow. Turns out we have similar tastes in guitars.
Small world! I got mine many years ago. Still a great guitar. There's a guitar community if you want to post anything on that topic.

Hello @mingetoot,
Please could you look up my address on Twitter (from the message I shared above) and drop me a message there. I will message you some general information.
Thanks
Hello. So, Twitter now doesn't allow you to do anything unless logged in. I will get around to setting up an account at some point. You will be my first follow!
ok, if you can find me. I just don't want to write that message out on the blockchain. Thanks
