Bio: Um....I'm nearly 60, I'm from Cornwall in the far south west of England but have lived on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire for over 30 years. I was introduced to FT in 2007 by my "real life" friend Quiz_Beagle and it's just as fun now as it was 16 years ago. When I venture outside the house other than for work I am a long-suffering season ticket holder of Kidderminster Harriers Football Club, an enthusiastic but totally untalented gardener, Secretary of the Parish Council and partial to scrambling up muddy hillsides....
Hobbies: Football (soccer - watching, not playing), hiking, real ale (craft beer)...and quizzes!
