Jan 0 Posted April 22, 2005 (Eh?) Hi, After lurking for ages I thought I'd say Hello. I first saw Sumo on C4 years ago, then rediscovered it via Eurosport (sadly British Eurosport) about 8 years ago with my very small son. We followed Terao :-P and now follow all the Shikoroyama rikishi, fingers crossed Homasho will soon rise high enough that his bouts will hit the Videos. I don't speak Japanese so don't have a shikona, couldn't think of anything appropriate anyway! Take care, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fujisan 500 Posted April 22, 2005 Hi Jan- Nice to hear from a sumo fan not too far from me-Which part of Yorkshire are you from? In case you dont know I live near Grimsby on the eastern side of England and like you I have been robbed of my Television sumo by British eurosport (Censored) Anyway welcome aboard,chuck in you salt and join the verbal tachai.

Jan 0 Posted April 22, 2005 Hi, I'm in Halifax at the moment. I've family in and around Grimsby/Scunny & Barton. British Eurosport say they have no plans to show sumo this year. Maybe UK sumo fans should bombard them with emails or something. Take care, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way - is Jan a girl's name or a boy's name? Edited April 22, 2005 by Kashunowaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,001 Posted April 23, 2005 Welcome Jan! I count Leeds (in Yorkshire) as my adopted home town :-) If you want help with a shikona, there are many here who can help (In a state of confusion...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan 0 Posted April 23, 2005 Hi, I'm a female Jan, short for Janet. Hi John, Jim's not great at the minute, back to hosp next Friday but we'll rear him. Take care, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kashunowaka 269 Posted April 23, 2005 Hi, I'm a female Jan, short for Janet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's what I guessed. And the :-) Terao thing kind of gave it away ... Jan is such a common male name in some parts of Europe (including here in Sweden) so I thought I'd ask. (In a state of confusion...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burainoan 0 Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) I don't speak Japanese so don't have a shikona, couldn't think of anything appropriate anyway! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Welcome! If you'd like a shikona, head on over to the Japan-related forum. there're some very helpful people on there who might be able to help you come up with something good. best i can think of is something like "snake-peak-climb" for "Janeto," but i'm sure a native could do better.... as for TV, if you have broadband and the Windows Media Player, you can do streaming, so cheap cable companies need not be an obstacle. anyway, always glad to have another lurker join the fun!
