About Me

My photo
81st Column
Born in the Middle East to a Scot and a lapsed Jew. Lived as an expat for much of my life. Living cliché with a history of deviance and wasted talent. Redeemed by sport and a late but valuable education. Currently living in New Zealand. The finishing touch to the tale would be if I ever really manage to achieve something. Which reminds me...why am I hanging around here ?
