So who the heck is this Whisky guy anyway?

• The wrong side of thirty forty (Ouch!)
• English
• Male
• Father
• Living in France
• Translator
• Ex-sailor
• Ex-double-glazing salesman
• Ex-restaurant owner
• Ex-singer
• Ex-part time shepherd
• Ex-husband
• Ex-tremely confused
• Ex-ceedingly silly

That just about says it all, and if you really want to find out more after that, tough... I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you!

And what's he doing on h2g2?

Erm, not a lot, usually lurking or avoiding doing any real work! Occasionally getting round to finishing an entry for the edited guide, and frequently attempting to wind up various BBC employees!

While I'm not actually annoying people, I have been known to write the occasional entry for the edited guide...

• Tuvalu
• The Layout of European Churches and Cathedrals
• 'MASH' - the Film
• The Beer Cellar of a Public House
• Temperature Scales
• Deep-fried Brie on a Cumberland Sauce
• Dr Haing S Ngor and the Killing Fields
• Expat Bars in Lyon - France
• Thomas the Tank Engine - The Books and the Characters
• Thomas the Tank Engine on TV and Film (With help from Smij)
• Thomas the Tank Engine - The Works of WV Awdry
• The Lascaux Grotto
• How to Make your own Atom Bomb (Yes! Really!)
• The Enigma Cipher Machine
• Beatrix Potter - Children's Author (with quite a bit of help)
• Carlisle, Cumbria, UK - the State-managed Liquor Trade
• French Public Holidays
• A Year in the Life of a Lakeland Shepherd
• Scotch Whisky (So just where did you think the name came from in the first place?)

I do seem to have my name attached to another 21 edited guide entries, but they are either someone else's work I've sub-edited, collaborative entries, or those entries other people have been kind enough to jointly credit me with...
