Small World time

Returning from Miyajima to Hiroshima Central Station, we encountered a gaijin named Andrew Osmond., and ended up chatting to him for the hour or so the trip took.

It looks as though he may be a one time contributor to ttba, his name appearing adjacent to that of ewx in an issue from 14 years ago.

ETA: and it looks like nhw might be another contributor, but to a different issue. la_marquise_de_ and damerell are also contributors. Oh, and sion_a under a previous name. Looks like a project for a quiet afternoon - spot how many people I can still identify who have been listed in ttba.
