Gandalf (Still Redundant!)

If this works OK,this will be my intro.

I am a chap, just approaching 50 years old (but not quite!)
I live in Preston, Lancashire, UK and have done so all my life, apart from the twelve years when I wore a blue suit (NO, not Prison blue, but the blue of the Royal Air Force!!!!)

During that time, I was posted (sent sideways) around the UK a number of times, and these postings affected my life in different ways.

When I was posted to the Shetland Isles, I developed an interest in birdlife - not many people can successfully claim to have seen a Black Browed Albatross north of the equator - I can!!
**Update** Damn, damn, damn.................A sub-adult Black Browed spotted off Channel Isles (August Birdwatching) in June 2000.

When in London (West Drayton) I learned to appreciate Sci-Fi, thanks to a wonderful bookshop (now unfortunately closed) called 'Dark they were and Golden Eyed'

In Norfolk (Coltishall) I learned to appreciate the finer qualities of Real Ale (Hic)

Now I am civilian again, I have mellowed, and prefer to read to the accompianament(??) of a glass or three of Islay Malt Whisky, preferably the Ardbeg.

So, that is me. You will find I have varied interests and will comment on almost anything.
Like Gandalf, I will poke my nose into anyones business!!!!!!

Journal Entries


This is where any Journal Entries would appear, if this Researcher had made any. Unfortunately they haven't managed to write anything, which is a shame because their Journal is where they could tell everyone what they've been up to. Is your Journal empty too? If so, this is how it'll appear to other Researchers who visit your Personal Space.
