I went to school at Belmont Primary, then Belmont Juniors and finally
Downhills Central, leaving with no qualifications. After a spell as
a car mechanic, scooter mechanic and Dental equipment mechanic, I joined the Army.
After almost five years I left the Army trained for a year as a TV engineer,
spent some time as a DeeJay, and finally became a TV engineer.Seven years
later I moved into the Computer Industry where I remained for almost twenty years.
I followed my father's footsteps travelling extensively in Europe and North America.
Now I work as a hardware and software designer and in 2005 completed an OU degree
course over five years to achieve a 2:1 BSc Hons degree. During the course of my life
my parents moved to High Wycombe (it was when I joined the Army), but I managed to
find them again, and my father rose from cleaning boilers to become the Export Manager
of a Dental Company, travelling all over Europe and the Middle East.
He had a gift for languages, reading ten and speaking seven.
I now live in Jersey.
After five years its all over.I learnt far
more than I expected and now that evenings
and week-ends belong to me again, I am lost
as to what to do with them.

Why oh why did he not play 'Samba Pa Ti' ?
But then he did play 'Black Magic Woman'...
OK, its a bad picture but it was taken by
my phone (and the 70's are a bit blurred anyway).
