Hello !

Welcome!

 


 

I Like cats so I must be basically OK. Dogs aren't bad either.

I'm a London Boy - I was born in Hampstead and grew up in London, the Essex countryside, and in France. 

After university, a brush with the music industry, and a spell working as a high-flier for the UK Government, my first experience of business was back in France with a French computer company. Since then I have spent a lot of time with and around hardware and software of all kinds, a lot of it in France, but also in the UK and Scandinavia. I moved from the early days with Cobol to the Internet and on to mobile, and my last "computer" job was in Finland. I still do some consulting in the mobile industry. 

On the way I got married and now have five grown-up children (and four grandchildren). 

I am passionately interested in all kinds of music, literature, film, gardening, food and wine - and of course new technologies.

If people want to chase foxes on horseback that's fine with me, but all food animals should be killed and eaten with respect.

I may be a bit Green but please don't talk to me about wind farms... 

Proust, Fellini, Borges, Hasek, Celine, Saramago, Stendhal certainly...
