Would anybody here be interested in a castle thread? (a thread where we can talk about different castles from all over, castle ruins included, about things that are interesting about them, stories behind them, and other things pertaining to them) If there are others around here who are interested, I am.

Castles are interesting, but I don't know jack about them.

They're also fun to draw, but my memory isn't very reliable. Once I'm done researching castles I don't remember much either.

I'd be open to the idea, Shan, sure. I don't consider myself an expert, by any means, but I'll be glad to discuss what I can. |

More on what I was thinking. I have been making booklets with the girls on castles which has been alot of fun. Whether you know very much about them or none at all I think this could be an interesting thread if you like castles at all. Since we are doing research anyway, I could post our finds and if you have anything to add you can or if you want to comment you can or if you just want to look that would be OK too. You can even throw in a castle of your own choosing if you want. Who knows what we might be able to do with it once we get started. BJ you want to chase Peter around one of my castles? There could be dungeons. ;D If this sounds OK to everybody, I thought I would start an offical castle thread sometime next week. What say you? Shan |

I think that's a fine idea, Shan. By all means, post it. As for Peter... dunno. You really want to leave him in a place where there are chains and torture devices? There wouldn't be a castle left when he was done with it. ;D |

Castles? As in 'Medieval Fortresses'? <sigh> A hobby of mine - seen a lot of them in Germany and France and studied some architectual literature on the topic Be warned! |

Glance, yes castles as in medieval fortresses and such. Wow, a castle enthusiast among us. That is great. OK, I've been warned. ;D I am looking forward to your posts though. Feel free to add as little or as much as you want. Also since your are our board authority on them you can make sure our facts are right. If we make a mistake you can correct it. I think that is cool. Glance, also feel free to pick some of your favorites and post things about them also. If you do, one thing that would mean alot to me would be if you could either post a pic or a link to a picture of the castle, so I can show it to my girls. With Buff telling us if it is cool or not and with Glance's info and keeping our facts straight , I think we can really have a fun thread. Shan |

Hmm - linking pictures...
That reminds me that I need some webspace, respectively someone uploading and hosting for me. I am a real DPU in that respect, and I just lost my resource for that.

Thanks Elliot. Now see what excuse Glance comes up with now. ;D Glance, hope Photobucket works for you. I'm looking forward to your input. If you can't get the pics don't worry about it. I just thought it would be nice for the girls to see them. Your info, thoughts, feelings and all of that is what counts. I want us to have fun with this thread when we get started. Shan |

I've loved castles and medieval stuff in general since I was younger. I can't say I ever did any research on the topic, nor have I ever seen one in person, but they certainly are interesting. And torture devices are cool.
