Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

My Profile on the Company Intranet

After completing a PhD in the combinatorial synthesis of oligosccharides at the University of East Anglia, I left the flatlands of Norfolk to join Oxford Diversity as their 50th employee in May 97, so I am one of the longest servants of the company. I worked in Buildings 57 and 44 until 1999 when I moved into B111 then moved sideways into Health and Safety, being trained in the hidden arts of the safety practioner and becoming more tedious by the hour.

I am one of the few employees to come from this part of Oxfordshire - my parents still live in West Hendred. I claim Welsh nationality, play rugby, cricket and squash very badly, listen to eighties metal and have a very large collection of mp3s. I have a greyhound, two cats, two tortoises and a wife, not necessarily in that order. I have not had a hair cut or alcoholic drink in 17 years, which probably explains a lot.

I enjoy cynicism, beard topiary and general lechery. I intend to stand for parliament in a future election as an independent.
