A Little Bit About Yours Truly
6ft 2′ - Tall, dark and ugly !
Born and raised in Grimsby Lincolnshire, England.
Photography is now something of a passion.
Would-Be Guitar Hero once upon a time.
Now with an ever burgeoning interest in history !
Used to work in engineering after serving an apprenticeship.
Then became a full-time book dealer selling rare & collectable books.
Got involved in building websites, affiliate search engine marketing and contextual ads.
Called it a day and went all but retired at the age of 39.
Which sees me where I am today - living life only for my own pleasure really.
This means I shouldn’t complain - but frequently do on this site.
The site mixes, hopefully, both humour and, dare I say it, some depth.
Historical based stuff is clearly more serious though not too ‘dry’ I hope.
Other articles are done somewhat tongue in cheek or are designed to help the site overall in search engines.
Contact Us
The best way to make contact if it’s about anything on the site is to leave a comment.
Opinions and new information are of great value.
Please Note: Sadly, due to the volume of emails we are unable to help with family research or specific requests for information or help on subjects - sorry about that.
About the Site
The site has gone from strength to strength and has become quite humbling really.
In excess of 3 million hits a month now - it all takes a little keeping up with.

Photography
I’m getting ever more involved in photography and it’s extended well beyond recording all my days out etc.
As well as places and wildlife etc I find I am increasingly drawn to the scope and creativity offered by studio photography.
There are some examples here

I take a lot of other pictures as well which are scattered throughout the site
Things get uglier below as it’s back to pictures of me - sorry about that
