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!

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

Namesakes

What do the following people have in common: Rodney Marsh, Simon Hughes, Brian Moore. For all of them, the person that I would immediately picture is not necessarily the one that a large chunk of the populace would. For those people brought up on football, March and Moore were footballer and commentator par excellence. For those listening to news of the Liberal Democrats, Hughes is their President and long-time MP (as well as failed leader candidate and allegedly user of sex chat lines). To me, Marsh and Hughes are cricketers from the 1970s/1980s and 1980s/90s respectively, and Moore the hooker come solicitor turned into vociferous BBC pundit in the VI Nations.
