How to sum yourself up online? Husband, Father all round old-fashioned family man with a nerdy streak. Lover of Science and Science Fiction - just see my lightsaber video for confirmation of that one. Padawan and Master I'm always looking to learn new things and experiences and then pass them on. Amateur Astronomer I love to gaze at the starry night sky and learn how it all works, how the rings of Saturn are created and maintained, how our moon is slightly moving away from us because of its effect on our own fragile planet. Atheist and proud of it I think we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow man, put away all the things that divide us (race, religion, wealth) without compromise or we're not going to progress as a species.

Phew! that's my 40th birthday over and done with. Had a really great time, saw all my family (got some wonderful presents - thanks guys) and kissed goodbye to my thirties. My amazing wife went to a lot of trouble, and I never knew she could keep so many secrets - got my eye on you now!

I also learned how gullible I could be, which made the surprises special, and me feel a bit simple!

We're off to London this weekend for a much needed break, just the two of us, Nana Splash is going to have Jack for the night, and I think she's also looking after charlotte and melissa (again!) so it will be mayhem.

be seeing you!
