Any words that you see underlined, like so, may
be clicked on for more information.
I have compiled these web pages so that those who are interested may know a little more about me. They started out as purely for the purpose of trying to find work, but I am constantly finding new uses for them. They give about as much detail about me as I would really wish to be widely known. They are not intended as an ego trip on my part, but as an aid for those who wish to know a little more about me and my past.

My
recipes
I also am in the process of uploading a lot of the recipes I use in cooking, with complete instructions for anyone (especially people who think they can’t cook). Anyone that can read can cook these dishes, as (hopefully) I have tried to cover any question or problem that may arise.

I have started using an online forum to address my rants and thoughts. I will update it as often as I can and try to include video in it too.

shocked me!), according to the test results, 140 is entry-level genius! I did
have the test linked here, but I’ve been told that they now charge to get your
results, so have removed that link (there are enough sites trying to get that
extra quid out of people, and I’m not going to encourage any more). I have

by day due to the stagnation and isolation of this lifestyle. With little to no
human contact, my vocabulary and ability to concentrate is failing more and
more as time goes by.
I do not at present have an English driving licence, but as
soon as my cash flow allows, I will be correcting this.
This page will be updated regularly, so please feel free to
come back whenever you wish to see what I have added this week.
My health, at present, means that I rarely go out or meet
people nowadays. I am more or less a hermit nowadays, apart from when I am
