So what shall I say about myself?

I am 44 years old in a few weeks time, I am British - though I prefer to say English as it annoys the Scots and the Welsh - I am separated, and getting divorced, with two teenage daughters still living in Swindon, and I work in IT. God, do I sound boring.

So what do I like to do?

I love playing games, like poker, chess, backgammon, board games, Euro Games, and wargames. Yep - I really, really sound boring. I should also add that I playtest games at the design stage and I have also designed a few games and have made a little money out of them. I should also add that I do not play computer games. I playing my games with real humans.

Others things that I do - I walk in the mountains. I cycle. I visit art galleries. I read books. I love films. I listen to music. I write fiction. I keep a blog. I write a lot of e-mails. I will discuss any topic under the sun and some people find me a little to "up front" - well the British do, but I find that foreigners don't. Perhaps one of the reasons why I am living here. I also like drinking beer. And I have no sense of humour.

I am not a natural party animal, I prefer my social encounters to number less than those that can be comfortably accomodated around a large round table - where all can hear and talk in equal measure. I also like wearing cardigans and I have had my sense of humour bypassed.

Sorry I have started to repeat myself. I will shuffle off this virtual coil.
