Born. Fostered. Adopted. Christened. Potty trained. Raised. Schooled. All in Scotland.
Was very good at Mathematics for a while. Played Rugby and American Football for a few years. Discovered alcohol early. Spent a couple of years as a bit of a hash head. Studied interesting things that did not lead easily to regular employment. Gave up smoking after 7 years. Started smoking occassionally again. Was a vegetarian for some 7 years. Now eat meat quite regularly. Have lived mostly in Germany for the last 6 years, with a year each in Greece and England. Last job was as a translator. Have also been a teacher, waiter, traffic surveyor, removals man, cleaner, stockroom operative (shelf stacker), barman, movie extra, and more. It was not as glamorous as it sounds. Have been sacked from many of those jobs. Am feeling the effects of 31 years on this Earth.
