Hale and well met. I've just had the decorators in, still kept the same style, but played around with the wording a bit. I've been around here for just over 2 years and thought that the walls were looking a bit shabby. I haven't got used to my new quarters yet and I don't understand why this has been left here:

So who am I, what am I doing here, what do I do here, and what do I do when I'm not here

	Who I Am

Over the ages I have been known by many names, my current identity of The_Jon_M is just one.

I came to being in St. John's Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex, missing the 1970s by less than a month. This was generally agreed to be a good thing. I spent 18 years living in the confines of South Woodham Ferrers¹, flitting over to Brentwood for educational needs where I studied just down the road from DNA's old school.

In 1998, I travelled north to Manchester where I failed to learn about Physics, Astrophysics and French. After 8+ years, I am still there.

	What Am I Doing Here

Good Question !!

I'm currently a Scout, Post Reporter, Fellow of the Random Quotes Guild, member of the musican's guild, and Turner of Egg Timers for the guild of Time Travellers.

I'm also a sub-editor and hopefully will get some photos up at some point.

Meanwhile, if you want some of my piccys, I have a flikr account and a page of band photos.
