| About me: |
I'm a drummer, an electronic engineer, a photographer, sceptic and amateur physicist. I love to travel, eat Marmite sandwiches and play with computers. I own and run my own custom drum company and photography company.
And I'm in three bands at the moment.
I've frequently been described as an Übergeek which I find quite flattering actually. |
| Anything Else: |
OK.
I’m a serious gadget freak. You can tell I’ve got no children can’t you ? Can’t afford them. Maybe I’ll think about them after I have my Bentley (yeah right !). I can move my eyes independently and I my IQ is in the > 1 in 2,000,000 percentile but that was some years ago. I'm probably down to being about as smart as your average supra-genius now.
Marvin The Paranoid Android: It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level. LOL !
Oh yeah, I'm really arrogant too but I know I am so I take pains to not be. I sometimes get pretty bombastic but I have a handle on that too. And I talk too much. Especially when someone gets me started on a subject I know something about. I'm a born teacher. I just couldn't live on the wages.
Ummmm, I can feel it now. I want to ramble on and on and on about all sorts of nonsense now.
So best I ...
Stop. |
