Thirty three - going on 21. Tired and worn out hack who has a penchant for a drink or two and socialising a little bit. Trying to keep that in check to be the perfect husband and the best dad in the world. Ask the missus or the kids to see how I'm doing. Spending far too much time at work and when I do escape I spend too much time enjoying cultured football at the Stadium of Light - the home of sexy football that is also known as Sunderland.
Born in York, blah, educated (sort of) at Darlington Journalism School, blah, cut my teeth as a trainee at the world's finest newspaper The Whitby Gazette, left for the Scarborough Evening News, went to work in Leeds on a golf magazine, left, blah, to come back to the Evening News, blah, and then was 'headhunted' or should I say - I was cheap - to return to the Whitby Gazette as deputy editor.
My job description includes making lots of tea and coffee and trying to keep our chief reporter in check as well as our new recruits. Still banking on the lottery but one day I fancy a bit of action on the Costa del Bugle, the Bahama's Evening Post or the Mauritius Gazette. Or possibly a job where I can do as little as possible, for lots of money, never have to worry about bills again and be able to get to every Sunderland game as I have a bit of a masochistic streak. That's about it really ... hello, anyone there? It's surely not that boring? Anyone?
