Lived a longish time others tell me though I do not notice it, and have experienced many fields of activity. Always keen to seek out a new challenge to test out my talent. Win some, lose some but try to treat them all the same.This philosophy has stood me in good stead through education, sport, business, communications and even public relations.Now dividing the year between UK , Egypt and Turkey for additional stimulation--- and sunshine.These plans hit a wall in JULY2010 with a perporated bowel operation uncovering a Lymphoma on the liver. Subsequently I concentrated my hubs on the progress of my treatment to provide both a diary and encouragement to others in similar positions and to champion the cause of POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE in fighting back against the disease

Following the summer riots and looting in England in 2011, I embarked on a series of Hub"s to follow social change here over my 7 Decades both from a personal and also a general viewpoint. Highly personalised, these found good interest from readers and were completed in December 2011. Since then, in 2012 I have embarked on a whole new pot pourri of topics ranging through things as they arrive on my radar.

I really am the man in the hat above by the way, though not as has been stated in my immediate family, the "MODERN MAD HATTER"..
