Vital Stats -3.00 (left eye), -2.00 (right eye). Apart from that, I'm a Mary-Poppins-esque "absolutely perfect in every way." Well almost... (mutters to himself: "it's not the size, it's the performance that counts")

Hobbies Badminton, Ultimate Frisbee, Computers (Internet, programming), Alcohol (esp. Budweiser, Baileys, Malibu and Vodka redbull ... although not all at once!), Music (listening, singing and dancing to), making people laugh, ...

Musical Taste Rather random really...

Computer Games At the moment I'm playing quite a lot of Day of Defeat : Source. I'm an admin on my work's dedicated server: dod.core.fubra.net. We also have a Half Life 2 deathmatch server: marvin.core.fubra.net. I'm now a member of The Conclave - a rather funky gaming community that includes clans ("guilds") for most popular games

My all time favourite computer games are as follows:
  • Atomic Bomberman
  • Starcraft
  • Worms : Armageddon (probably the best of the 2D worms series)
  • Monkey Island
  • Grim Fandago
  • Broken Sword
  • Little Big Adventure
  • Half Life 1 & 2
  • Day of Defeat:Source
  • Call of Duty
  • Unreal Tournament 2004
  • Micro Machines v3
  • Mario Kart
  • Street Fighter 2
  • Mario Kart : Double Dash

Fav. films

Occupation I work as Chief Technical Officer at Fubra Ltd. That's right Chief Technical Officer! So what the hell does that mean? It means I do lots of technical stuff only in a really chiefy kind of way. Like PHP scripting, MySQL Database Administration, HTML and CSS, server administration, and all that kind of malarky.

Fav. Colour Orange

Fav. books
  • High Society - Ben Elton
  • The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon

  • The Book of Bunny Suicides - Andy Riley

  • How to be Good - Nick Hornby

Personality Friendly, non-conformist, genuine, quirky, a bit geeky, understanding, caring, reliable, independent, sensitive, thoughtful, shy ... and very very modest! ;)

Anything else? I am a long term sufferer of anxiety and depression. Sometimes this reduces me to a useless wreck who's frightened to go shopping or drive or do pretty much anything. And sometimes I'm a normal, friendly guy who is perfectly capable of living a normal life. Annoying huh?

I am very open about this because it's NOT something that anyone should have to feel ashamed about. The brain can go wrong just like any other organ in the human body!
