About Me
I am an alien living in a strange place.I live in a place where they use drain cleaner as a cullinary aid, rotten fish is a delicacy, as is raw sheep's leg. People go blind from drinking the local booze, and the hold beach vollyball in the road.
This is all true.I am a Brit living in Norway.
I am a network manager for an oil support company, having previously at various time in my life been:-A home computer service tech for a well know large company,
an instore tech for a lager comany related to the service tech job.. I don't know where in the world :) but I know I'm better here than there!
A kitchen assistant in a hospital,
a painter of steel ductile pipes ( which was not actually wanted. I ended up painting over the colour they wanted).
A camera salesman
and a photochemical machinist. A job with build in substance abuse.
I have traveled to several exotic locations around the world and have not yet been shot, although I did manage to catch a unique substrain of Ecoli 0157.
I am famous ( amongst my freinds ) for my luck. I had in a one month period:-a car crash, a trip to Nigeria where I saw some of the local wildlife.. eating a dead body in the road.. got my hotel room robbed with my passport stolen, which meant a trip to the police ( inspector Clueso anyone ). When I returned I had my repaired car for 4 Hours before a roofing tile fell off my room onto the car roof.
I have managed to squeeze past my lips at various times bush meat called a grass cutter. This was explained to me as a type of rat, but a big one.. Wonderful I have eaten a BIG Rat, and beatles.
No not the 60s rock group the little crawley things.. lots of proten in them ( for about an hour before I was violently sick. Nothing at all to do with the beer I drank to pluck up courage)
But I have put all that behind me, I am engaged to a wonderful lady from Thailand ( a most wonderful country if you don't go to the holiday places ). To sum up I am a skinny dyslexic computer guy who is occasionally sent to fun places to fix stuff. Even Nigeria is better than Dalkieth (Sorry to anyone who lives in Dalkieth but its true).
Well thats me
