As a way of finding out who else is here, lets introduce ourselves

My name is Michael and it has been 14 hours since I last Sofa’d

Damn. Wrong forum!

I am Michael and am a cricket nut from Brisbane who tweets in under @Micky_Jay.

Can't remember where I discovered the Sofa. I think it was by searching iTunes for cricket podcasts.

Hi Mick,

I'm Ant and I'm a Sofa Addict.
Even though I'm a Saffa and the Poms make me cringe ;p

I'm welshboymick, i'm also a sofa addict. I hope that, now i've finally admitted to this addiction, things will get easier.

Also, as i'm welsh do I count as a Pom or not?

My name is Shivam. To say I am a sofa addict would be an understatement. They always cheer me up!

My name is Dave or David if you're my mother and wish to give me a bollocking. I enjoy going to a hell of a lot of Non-League football matches and think Jack Russell is God. I'm @terry_nutkin on twitter.

I'm Rollo and this place sound rather like an AA meeting.

Seeing as it is an AA Meeting, when are we going to get around to talking about cleaning carburetters and fuel injection systems?

Seeing as it is the "England and Wales Cricket Board" and because Wales is a vanquished nation (take note of the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542), you do count as a Pom.
Or perhaps you'd prefer us to say "Twll dîn pob Sais"?

Hi folks, I'm Barnaby, I spent most days with either Test Match Sofa or the middlesex commentary on.

As a very lazy, and very crap leg spinner, I can't get with a 12 step AA programme, it sounds far too arduous to have that long a run up.

Hi, my name's Ian and I'm a sofaholic. I tweet, infrequently, under the name @Naibob.
I spend my time watching the mighty 'rey in a big empty Oval and trying to watch as much English Test match cricket around the world as my family/job/bank balance allow.
Today I have a sofa shaped hole in my world and am contemplating going and doing something more constructive instead!

Hi All,

I am Mudassar Ijaz from Lahore Pakistan ,cricket addict and now becoming Sofa addict even more and more since Aatif and Henna are having a bowl out here.

I tweet @mudassarijaz and has a blog cricketvibe.com/blog & @cricketvibe where I seldom write some crap. Professionally I am Web application developer.

Sofa makes the crap match hear-able and my office time less twitching!!

Woof!

I am 'The Magnificent Muttley' feel free to call me 'Muttley'
for short. Love my cricket and generally play in a club as a
bowler/mascott. It is my dream that one day I will get the call
up to be a mascott for the top dogs 'England'.

Cheers
Muttley

Hi, I'm SubtleKnife, aka MJ (short for a Dutch name that my best friend got sick of explaining to non-Dutch speakers.)

Possibly to some people's surprise, I'm female.

I'm supposed to be working, so I'll be off again soon. I just wanted to have a quick look around.

Hi I'm Dave a cricket obsessive since watching a Curly haired blonde genius score 215 against the Aussie's in 85.

I was prescribed the sofa as a cure for my insomnia and haven't been to sleep since.

I tweet as @daveemrys.

I may or may not be Rob, but those of you who listen, will often hear my thoughts on twitter as I am @rmt_1982 on there.
I've been listening to the Sofa since the end of the 2009 Ashes, but decided to start contributing my madness over the winter in Australia.

I'm located somewhere in Yorkshire, but am originally from Nottingham.

So where are the women then? I am the first introducing?

My Name is....errr, Yvonne, and I have been sofa-ing since early in the 2010/2011 Ashes series. These days I sofa whenever I can and tweet also as YvonnePhoto - my cricket knowledge is about 10 times what is was a year ago and still feels like 100% of nothing but willing to learn ;)

Name's manuel_mg, found the Sofa this past Ashes series during the 1st Test. Given my geographic location, I'm not able to listen live as often as I would like, but I catch the highlights as soon as they're posted.

Making plans to holiday in England for the 2013 Ashes, and have already started doing budget research to know just how many £ I'll need to save up before then.

Aloha -- JYOwen here, also known as @jy_american on Twitter and formerly as @sofa_american.

Listening since the World T20 event, frequent tweeter and jingle contributor. Regulation strength American (not ex-pat) who acquired the cricket habit about five years ago in what must be one of the odder premature mid-life crisis on record.

I'm a England and Middlesex fan who counts among his greatest cricket achievements having an e-mail read by Aggers on TMSpecial (questioning the ECB chairman about the replacement of the traditional wool jumpers) and have Middx head Vinny Codrington exclaim on meeting him "What in the world are you doing here?"

If you listen to the Middlesex & Surrey commentary you may hve also already heard my e-mails to Kevin Hand & Mark Church and those of a small band of my American friends who wile away the summers listening to County Cricket. Strange but true.
