  • I did a job developing a multimedia CD that trained doctors. Well, it was more of a marketing tool. For oncology… of the face and genitals. It was easily the most harrowing experience of my career. So many genitalia and tongues with hideous growths and what have you. The people who agreed to be photographed were both brave and very, very unwell.

    I was on the tech team, sonI got off quite lightly. The two graphics people spent day after day aligning and processing these photos so that everything was clearly visible. I don’t know how they slept at night.

    I left after a year. I don’t think anyone managed longer than that.








    • Maternal grandma died before I was born.
    • Paternal grandma cooked a great roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Incidentally, she would - and I’m sure this was deliberate - massacre Lancashire hot pot. The war of the roses raged on until the late 20th century, in her mind at least.
    • Mum cooked a great schnitzel and cucumber salad with caraway seeds. The schnitzel was fried, I’ve never heard of a baked schnitzel before…
    • Fiance cooks too many great things to choose just one





  • Simple: I fucking hate driving. I hate the smell, I hate the noise, and I hate the stress. Thr environmental impact isnt exactly a plus point either. You could say that I’m lucky to live in a place with good public transport, but I actively sought out a place with public transport because I didn’t want to rely on a car.

    Final nail on the coffin: I developed Menieres disease, so I am prone to intense vertigo attacks at short notice - I couldn’t get a license even if I wanted one.
