Always expect the worst

About Me

I am a divorced, 56 years old father of 3 grown children and live in a large house in New Brighton, Wirral, UK. I was a telephone engineer for 25 years but am now a part-time tutor of astronomy and spaceflight.Unlike most males, I am not interested in sport and loathe football. And I find talk of politics, cars, and 'conquests' thoroughly boring. I am anti-religious, anti-bloodsports, but pro-animal welfare, human rights, and education. I despise arrogance, conceit, bad manners and liberty taking. I believe everyone has a talent or skill for something and hate to see it wasted, especially by the young, who should be encouraged to excel.I am very gregarious and treasure my friends and family, but also like to be alone for long periods, usually being creative or pondering on the universe...

Our origins...and 'explosive jewellery'

If you are unfortunate enough get a speeding ticket, or get caught by a speed camera, just muse on which way you were really going, and just how fast, at the time. I discussed this with a much amused ...
