I was born on 19 March, 1976. 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 that boomed and busted. After that I have worked as an audio typist, a receptionist, an assistant to a leather goods importer, and 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 my urges. 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 0-141-01435-0
- 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. I will not be energetic forever.
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.
