Revision as of 17:09, 2 April 2007
I was born on 19 March 1976. Do not send a card, send money. I live and work in Wiltshire, in the South of England. I am English. I went through school and college to university, where I spent two years failing to maintain an interest in computing. I did not graduate. Since then I have worked as a freelance writer, mostly for computer games magazines, although I also wrote a pair of books for a publishing company that sadly no longer exists. [1]
Concurrently I worked as an in-house copywriter for Loot.com, a dot-com boom company, and then as an audio typist, a receptionist, an assistant to a leather goods importer, a civil servant for the Ministry of Defence. I currently work as an audio typist and general dogsbody for the NHS.
I read the Daily Telegraph. I read it every day. I agree with every word in it. Other newspapers do not satisfy me. I do not own a television. I use the internet to keep abreast of popular culture. I am very much like yourself and have the same hobbies and interests.
Within arm's reach are the following books:
- Yes, Prime Minister: Volume One, by the Right Hon. James Hacker, ISBN 0-563-20469-9
- The Fall of France, by Julian Jackson, ISBN 0-19-280550-9
- A Man on the Moon, by Andrew Chaikin, ISBN 0-14-024146-9
- Six Days of War, by Michael B. Oren, ISBN 90-141-01435-0
- Our Dumb Century, by The Onion, ISBN 0-7522-1743-7
- Armageddon, by Max Hastings, ISBN 0-330-49062-1
- The Winter War, by William R. Trotter, ISBN 1-85410-932-4
- The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks, ISBN 1-4000-4962-8
- Revelation X, by the Church of the Subgenius, ISBN 0-671-77006-3
And there is a second tier beneath that. I recognise the lunacy in writing out a list of the books and their ISBN numbers, as if you are going to pat me on the head for being able to read. In my defence, I am in an energetic mood, and I believe that if you are going to do something, you might as well finish thoroughly that part of the thing that you can be bothered to do for the moment.
The earliest trace of myself that I can find on the internet is dated 26 February 1995. [2] I am also available in visual form at Flickr [3], and in aural form at Myspace, [4] where I use the name Compact, because Ashley Mark Pomeroy is not a rock name.
