In His Own Words
About him
Behind the slightly weather beaten and unprepossessing exterior lie a story sixty six years in the writing, but with enough blank pages for a good few more chapters and hopefully a happy ending. The basic synopsis is of a normal man with a good line in self-deprecating humour as well as a lively interest in trivia and learning new stuff, although as Homer Simpson so rightly observes the new facts tend to push out old ones. My working life was spent in IT, although I like to believe I have avoided the worst that IT geekiness has to offer. Leisure time is spent playing golf, visiting the gym to try and hold the ravages of age at bay and spending time with a small and understanding group of friends. Somewhere along the line I managed to miss out on being the other side of the camera, so I've only got a very few pictures, which don't capture my best features – If a picture paints a thousand words I’ve got about another 800 to write (sometime) Enough of the precis – The author is available for coffee or drinks
