When many people are asked what their interests are
a very common response is Football, or watching the TV or playing
some sort of sport. My pastimes are not sport related, in fact
I have never been in to anything remotely associated with 'sport'.
That is probably why I am overweight I guess but nothing bores me
more. My father was a sports fanatic. By the time I was about
four years old I held absolutely no interest in sport. That did not
turn me into a boring person though, as there are other things in this
world that can keep a person occupied in their spare time
(whatever that is)!

Verse
I have always liked music and took piano lessons for a few years
from the age of seven. As soon as the classics started to appear,
my interest disappeared. I gave up the piano, only to have the
occasional 'tinkle'. I took up the guitar when I was about
eighteen but have only ever played acoustic. I have played and
sung 'in public' as a solo act in folk clubs and a
Local Pub
where we used to live. I've not done this since late 1999 and the
reasons are lack of appropriate venue and time at the moment.
The music I listen to is not the music I play - strange that really
- but life's like that. My interests were always Pink Floyd,
Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Heart and, of course listening to
Radio Caroline which is back on the air on the Astra Satellite
and on Short-Wave (see link to their site below). More recently
I have been 'getting into'
Joe Satriani
. Click on the link to find out about this very talented musician
and check out the samples!
Diverse
I am into anything to do with our origins and have many books on
Pyramids, Maya and lost civilisations. Click on the Pyramid below
to discover some interesting facts and ideas!
Converse
I have been a licensed radio amateur with the callsign G4GKH since
1977. See my
amateur radio page
to discover what this is about.
Traverse
I have owned several VW Scirrocos and a 5 Cylinder VW Santana (Audi 90
Engine) all the way up to 250,000 miles on the clock! I still have this
on the driveway and it still runs perfectly. I am sure that this
trouble-free milage is attributable to early Slick 50 treatment and
servicing by me with regular oil changes with Mobil One. Currently
I drive an Audi A4. Find out a bit more
on the cars from the VW and
Audi links below.
Perverse(Well, not really but it continues the word pun!)
I like a damn good laugh and you will find some excellent links to
some very funny sites in the Joke Files link below.
Much Worse (sic!)
I have done all sorts with various types of computer, I even built a Nascom once!
But I had the urge to produce a set of web pages. I did not use any fancy tools
to create this site - just Notepad and a bit of fast learning about
HTML code
. With a few borrowed bits and pieces from
elsewhere I discovered just how easy it was. I haven't picked up the guitar
for a little while and this is why!
