Well, you already know my name (or, to be more accurate, the name by which I like to be known: there is a difference), so perhaps the heading of this piece ought to be What am I?
As of the latest edit, August 2026, I’m now 72 years old (hard to believe, but there it is), living in north Yorkshire, England, and in the preceding years, after my school & college years (small digression: I studied for my Bachelor of Arts degree at what was then Bristol Polytechnic, but which is now rather gradiosely known as the University of the West of England, not in the least pretentiously; see * at the start of the third paragraph below for a circular reference) I have been variously a display kitchen installer, office drone, designer and craftsman, carpenter/joiner and small-scale builder, manager of a small business (second-hand car spares), shop proprietor (same), kitchen showroom designer, department manager for an east German (post-Wall) kitchen furniture import company, salesman, househusband, actor*, writer, and publisher. I like to think that this variety has made me the well-rounded person I am, but some might say that I’m an occupational butterfly. Whatever.
*The acting is one of the occupations I have probably enjoyed most; a few years back (how the time flies) I played a musician (which is amusing as I can’t play a note!) with rather lycanthropic tendencies (my character name, Moondog, might be a clue), which was great fun, but the final-year students making the film were based at my old Bristol campus, which had been converted to a film & television production facility! This is about all I feel inclined to divulge about myself (and has probably exhausted the average reader’s patience by now), although additional information may be gleaned by the assiduous from other sections of this page (in its compendium sense), especially the acting, so please follow the links in the first column to find out more about my background, if it’s of any interest: if not, thanks for visiting, and peace & love (Thanks Ringo).
