I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a qualified teacher with a Honours Degree in History and Philosophy and a Degree in Education, Geography, Geology and Divinity. For the last 28 years I have worked at the University of Glamorgan in South Wales (I must be MAD!). I live near Porthcawl with my Partner Lisa and son Matthew and my dog Monty, who are all Hawkwind fans! (Yes even the dog, who has also seen them live at the Hawkfest).As of Easter 2008 we have a new addition to the family, an Alaskan Malamute called Logan...very cute! Monty is now his dad! I live for my family and music. I class myself as a Lotus Eater and my work is a means to that end. I wish I enjoyed my work but you can't have everything! If there's a gig worth going to then distance is no object (as long as I can afford it at the time!) but I'll travel to the ends of the Earth to see my favourite bands Hawkwind and Tangerine Dream!I'm a firm believer in the following awesome lyrics of 'CHILDREN OF THE SUN' by HAWKWIND :-THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE FUTURE COMES THAT WHICH WAS DREAMED OF IN THE PAST WHERE FREEDOM REIGNS ON MINDS OF PEACE MINDS RICH IN WISDOM TO THE LASTWE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN AND THIS IS OUR INHERITANCE NO LONGER CHAOS AND CONFUSION BUT LOVE AND LAUGHTER SONG AND DANCEAnd in the words of Dave Brock, "Is there life out there?" You bet there is:-

My Interests

Reading (Favourite author Michael Moorcock), Jim Marrs, Alex Jones, Graham Hancock, Timothy Good, Carl Sagan (The Dragons of Eden - awesome book!), listening to music, golf and taking the dogs for walks!

I'd like to meet:

I suppose you think I'd say Hawkwind, but I have met all of them (most have stayed at my house over the years!). I would love to meet Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to ask them why they have not come clean to the public about their alien encounters on the way to and on the moon! Buzz admitted recently in a documentary that they were followed to the moon by strange objects and Neil devotes a whole chapter in his biography to UFO's! I would also like to meet Dr. Steven Greer who is a champion of the truth and in whose honour I have posted a copy of the Disclosure Project video below!

Music:

Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream, Motorhead and Steve Hillage mainly! But also bands like Yes, Genesis, Zep, Tull, Gong and most Rock but also Roy Harper and more mellow stuff!

Movies:

2001, Star Wars, Silent Running, Zulu, The Vikings, The Alamo (With John Wayne), The Edge, Lawrence of Arabia, Independance Day (awesome)- to name a few!

Television:

Anything that's good! Mainly good documentaries, Question Time and films.

Books:

Ancient Astronauts, UFO's, Michael Moorcock, Wilbur Smith and Ancient Mysteries mainly!

Heroes:

HAWKWIND, Tangerine Dream, Dr. Steven Greer, Jim Marrs, Richard Hoagland and Alex Jones who are all geniuses!
