About Me


Still on the right side of 30 - but hurtling towards it at an alarming rate - hour after hour, day after day.
Got meself a job, got meself a wife - thought to meself "Greg, you need something on the interweb". Low and behold I've spent far too much time since 19/12/06 playing around with the settings of this thing (Mr Murdoch would be proud).
Immediately below visitors/friends and colleagues (if you're fortunate enough to stumble upon this page - crap!) will find some stuff from my recent life - things which amuse, admire, inspire or freak me out (so plenty of things featuring Liz then).
I'll also utilise the blog - enough said about that the better.

Oh - one more thing...under Schools you'll notice the name Barry Comprehensive School, I want to note here that I attended Barry Boys' Comprehensive School. The name changed the year after I left following a purge of the school's old regime. It wasn't that extreme - merely an Orwellian change of name, instantly consigning the school's old reputation to the dustbin of history. If only a few more pupils were put up against a wall and shot...well shot's a harsh word...let's say - dispatched
Thank you for showing an interest in this profile - mind how you go.

London Olympics Brand

Can't say I'm bowled over by the new logo (sorry - brand) for the London Olympics.  I needed the BBC to point out that the shapes symbolise "2012".The Grauniad article also links to the London Ol...

Zippy, George and Bungle - it's the Rainbow Coalition!

Short of a miracle it appears that Wales is going to be governed (in the short term at least) by a "Rainbow" Coalition - minus the red of course. A daft name - but that's politics for you!Of course ...

There's a new Transformers Trailer out there in the interweb ether. (Swoon...) Looks stunning - not sure whether I care about the plot...I'm certain I heard the transforming sound too (perhaps a li...
