I was born in Bristol in 1955 .I worked as a manager for a medical practice in Kingswood until March 2006 when I developed Lung Cancer and took early retirement.

The web site was called "Smoking in bed and other filthy habits " long before this . I would urge any smoker viewing this page to STOP now. Lung Cancer and the treatment of it are both dreadful as is the knowledge that you caused this to happen to yourself.

Collecting and watching DVDs ,digital photography ,the internet, foreign travel, cooking are my hobbies .

I also enjoy winding up people( particularly John Morris and Julie Bown) and playing with my clock!
