Brazenly British and perhaps a tad eccentric. Watched far too many episodes of 'The Avengers' when a young lad. What is it the Jesuits say? 'Give me a child until he is seven and I shall show you the man....". That explains everything!

You might not guess to look at me but I am a rather keen 'green'. We disposed of our car over 25 years ago, eat home-cooked organic food and manage to survive without ever having owned a microwave, dishwasher, tumble drier or freezer. I have a long suffering other half and two children who have managed to grow up looking surprisingly normal. Needless to say, I am working on it.

I have dabbled in freelance work for BBC radio and television in the past but you'll have a job on your hands finding it! Currently musing about video podcasting. My dear wife is rightly horrified...

Wildly keen on Vienna. I love that city. Hopefully I'll return there in November. Watch out for a strangely caped Englishman sauntering past the Opera House whilst inspecting his pocket watch and stroking his pointedly waxed moustache. Ah, if only I were lying...
