About Me

Me? Urg. I'm well travelled. Laid back. Unfashionable. Left of centre politically. And in most other things. Tried doing a degree at Liverpool Uni recently but real life kept rudely intruding on my educational nirvana so that has had to stop..... for now. I have a motorbike now. In fact I've had one for quite a while, but hadn't updated this Profile thing which has still said that I want a motorbike until recently. I'm still not sure if its a mid-life crisis, but its handy for getting to work.
