I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I come from an caring, eccentric, unconventional family. School was hard sometimes because I was never one of the crowd. Anyway, school was ages ago... Now, I'm happy doing it my own way. I guess some people think I'm unfriendly because most of the time I can't be bothered to make small talk and niceties - read it the way you want. I like meeting people who have an opinion whether it differs from my own or not. Some who I have met only briefly in my life have had an impact. I'm always open to learning as well as influencing.

If I let this depressing weather control the way I feel I will never get anything done. Blah blah blah... I have got to get on with my work, seriously!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Parents

Before I make my point, I feel I have to begin by saying that I am not a parent. I constantly remind myself of that whenever I have a strong opinion on this subject but that doesn't stop me from havin...

Pale and Proud!

I am sick of people telling me I am "typical English" because I have pale skin and red hair. The Germans seem to think they are of medeterranian origin and forget the fact that the reason they all loo...
