| Bio: | I try to be witty and profound. I succeed about 95% of the time.  Create your own visitor map! View My Stats Me: I live in London, as I have done for 28 of my 32 years. I was born here, and I love living here - I live in the Wimbledon area these days with my wife and two children. The other four years of my life were spent in Bognor Regis from 1992 to 1993 as a Pioneer TIE Teamer (working with a church) and at Oxford Brookes University from 1996 to 1999, where I studied Transport Planning (which sadly has been discontinued) and Business Admin and Management (which sadly has not). I worked for London Underground from September 13th 1999 until 20th August 2007, doing a variety of things. I started a new job with Network Rail on September 3rd 2007, working on the Thameslink upgrade.  My interests: Many and varied, as can be seen from the list. My main passion in life is trains, an interest I've had since I was very small, and I continue to love many facets of the railways - the trains themselves, the adventure of travel, their history, their cultural impact...you name it. I've worked in the railway industry for a combined total of nine years now, and don't intend going anywhere in a hurry. I love music, of many kinds, but I'm guaranteed to love it more if it's at least slightly depressing. I usually discover bands about twenty years too late. Current faves include The Smiths, REM, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, All About Eve, Strawberry Switchblade, and a whole host of eighties stuff like Human League, Spandau Ballet etc. I also love some obscure bands I used to see live quite often, like Fat and Frantic and The Lost T-Shirts of Atlantis. I try and make it to Greenbelt every year, the finest festival on the planet. I'm well into photography, and I shoot a mixture of quality digital, deliberately crap digital, film, Polaroid and Super 8. I showcase my work on here now and again. On top of all of this, I go through periodical obsessions with various things, and I HATE football. REALLY hate it. I've recently discovered the joys of Geocaching.  My LJ: The vast majority of it is public. I make friends entries on a few subjects now and again, mainly stuff that would come back and bite me on the arse if it was public, but I try to keep it all as open as possible. I'm not fussy about who reads what I write (I hate elitist LJ-ers who try to beat people off with big sticks), and I will usually, although not always, friend people back if it looks like we'll be able to interact meaningfully. I sometimes have friends list clean-ups when I'll shorten the list a little - I don't have time to keep up with hundreds of journals, but if we end up interacting regularly, you'll almost certainly stay there. I dream of having a hugely famous blog one day, but I doubt it will happen. :)  Personality type - INFP  Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.
