Description:

Well, maybe the photo isn't that representative nowadays. So you'll just have to take my word:

• Nationality: British
• Age: 21 + VAT
• Height: 6'5"
• Hair: variously described as brown, light brown, blond, dishwater blond (whatever that means)
• Eyes: brown
• Clean shaven
• Married
• Glasses

I once met someone at a Con who pictured me as short, dark haired and bearded. Don't ask me why, except that perhaps it's because you get a lot of short, dark(ish/greying) haired and bearded people at Cons. You tend to meet their bellies before anything else.

Educated at:

Hampton Dene Primary School, Hereford; Little Chalfont Primary School; Lorraine Primary School, Camberley; Dumpton Prep School (I know, I know ...); Sherborne School; Warwick University.

Lives/has lived in:

Far too many places.

Works/has worked for:

Favourite depressives:

Eeyore, Marvin, Puddleglum.

Tattoos:

Secret brotherhood initiation sigil below my right shoulder blade. Probably shouldn't have told you that.

Dislikes:

Pettiness; corporatism masking incompetence; hype; letting dogma or convenience dictate the facts; queues; incompetence; being let down; rudeness; London; people who say what they need to say more than once; cheapskates; sales people who call me by my first name; reality TV and all such celebrations of mediocrity in the name of entertainment.
