Hello and welcome to the site. These are just my musing over a period of a few years as I turn on and off the internet. I have as Groucho Marx once said "worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty". My background has come via computing to theatre - both creative and technical, University, Politics, Business, Counselling/Therapy and back round to computers. I now run with my partner a healthcare business, I also offer IT consultancy and offer motivational guidance. Please leave your comments or get in touch I would like to hear from you.
