| Occupation | Journalist and media trainer. |
| Location | Alfreton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | When my father said "Son, don't be an engineer" I took his advice and became a journalist. In hindsight the only thing wrong with the advice was people don't generally tend to assume all engineers are the spawn of Satan. |
| Interests | News, politics, the media, radio gossip, social enterprise, ecology, environmental issues, engineering, art. |
| Favorite Movies | Dr Strangelove, Apocalypse Now, Sleepy Hollow, Black Hawk Down, Brazil, Bladerunner, American Beauty, Interview With A Vampire, Moulin Rouge, Immortal Beloved, the list is endless. |
| Favorite Music | I have an insanely eclectic music taste but always come back to old favourites including (but not limited to)Mozart, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, Sisters Of Mercy, Tom Lehrer, The Mission, Half Man Half Biscuit, Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, Credence Clearwater Revival, VNV Nation, Matchbox Twenty, Apoptygma Berserk, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Slayer, The Fall and of course Bob Dylan. Told you it was eclectic.I don't do country and western though. Oh no. |
| Favorite Books | Gah! Another endless list! Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy is a constant companion. Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination, HP Lovecraft and Guy de Maupassant provide the spooky stuff. Shakespeare is a given (Henry V and Hamlet being top of the list) Iain Banks' "Consider Phlebas" and "Complicity" are fantastic. All the Rebus novels, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, Kurt Vonnegut "Cat's Cradle", Samuel Taylor Coleridge (One day I will memorise the Ancient Mariner) |
