Dear all and hello all, 
Whilst searching for geek related forums, I found this one!
I am from Kent in England.
Some of my geek credentials...
All things geeky!
Al things Goth!
All things Steampunk!

Re-enactment, Ren Faires, LARP / LARPing, Cosplay, etc
Collecting (replica historical coins, Doctor Who inspired LARP props, Iron Pyrites, world war 2 allied forces banknotes, fake/counterfeit English Pound coins, amongst other crap!)
The Goth and Steampunk subcultures
Music; especially Carl McCoy/Fields of the Nephilim/The Nefilim, Katie Melua, The Eden House, Last Rites, Pink Floyd, Midnight Oil, AC/DC, amongst others.
Reading; mainly non-fiction, but some fiction as well
Drawing
Voluntary work (I volunteer for a nature conservation charity)
Visiting museums and art galleries (my favourite being the Science Museum in London)
Listening to radio talk shows, especially James Stannage, Nick Abbot, Clive Bull, Steve Allen, James Whale, Nick Ferarri, Ed Shultz, etc
