I live with my wife in north Worcestershire in the UK, in the midst of a large garden, and seem to spend a great deal of my life mowing lawns and cutting hedges.

My interests? Music, classical and modern jazz, gardening (I will win the largest onion trophy one day), MotoGP, the TT and the increasingly frustrating F1, anything mechanical really. I'm a fan of How it's Made, which says it all really.

I'm a modest Wikipedia editor, occasionally joining the grammar police when anything particularly irritates me.
