Introduction

Hello there,

Although I am English, I lived in Israel for four years, first as a student at the Albert Katz International School for Desert Studies, and then as an English teacher at the Wall Street Institute in Be'er Sheva.

Although I have a wide-range of interests, my "specialities" are English football (especially Non-League), Israeli football and Israeli politics. Nevertheless, I don't claim to be an Oracle on any subject, so don't be afraid to correct what I've written!

Excuses

• Although I always use the Show Preview button, I somehow almost always seem to leave some major mistake in my edits, hence the multiple edits I have had to do on many pages!
• I also made a bit of a cock-up on the Hapoel Bnei Lod article, claiming they were the same team as Hapoel Lod before re-edting it. This I blame entirely on my inability to properly read the Hebrew version of Wikipedia.
