All About Stuart

Hi ! I'm the guy on the right. If I look like my brother that's because we're Twins If you haven't worked it our already, I'm an IT geek into badminton, music, coding, games, hacking, fast cars and occasionally skiing and sailing. Strictly on holiday only of course..

In police terminology I'm 1m70, 75Kg, hazel eyes, short hair, glasses. Definite axe-murderer material. [That's 5ft7 and 10st8lbs for all you imperialists out there.] I prefer 'cute' myself.. Just don't call me 'skinny' or I'll have to kill you.

Here's what I'm like:

• I don't smoke (unless I've already finished too much Jack Daniels),
• I don't take recreational pharmaceuticals (unless everyone else is)
• I play badminton 2 or 3 times a week socially, and run a 'B' team in the local league.
• I drink occasionally (i.e. when anyone buys me a pint). Usually right after badminton!

• I enjoy adventure, experiencing the power of nature, the local culture,
  

  • becoming one with the world; in particular with the local home-brew.
• I play guitar; when I can be bothered to practice.

• I have recently acquired a taste for gardening with rocks

• I ski and sail when on holiday. I should practice both to get better but I don't
• I'm quite funny. No really ! This text was written too late at night..

Here's the low down. It get's better. Honest!

Play

Serious ''playing'' requires a little time away from the office, and a social life. I try to make time for that, but I've got this lot to contend with first:

• Love Life
  

  • Hooray! I am now the serious partner of a loverly Cornish girl called Gayle; I suspect she might be a

    Piskie so I will have to watch my step

• I am happy to say I am still friends with

  Marie after we finally went our separate ways.

• Music
  

  • I am a Practicing musician; well perhaps 'practice' is too strong a word - perhaps 'fools around' is more accurate!
    I am presently trying to get a new band together! Flushed with the sucess of a recent outing as the bass player in a after the heady excesses of rock and roll(!) stardom..
    I USED to I play guitar in an 'electric folk' kind of combo; think Pentangle but more Irish. You can find out more about pH5.
    I also try to write/record stuff and I have a little project

    studio in my back room. Digital of course

• DIY
  

  • I make stuff; furniture mostly, in a rather modern, modular kinda style. Think Tapley, if you know that brand, but with more handles..

• I also try to keep my house sorted, and the car, and the PC network, ... current projects are to renovate the garden into

  aZen-like low maintainance area, and re-build the digital studio with Linux instead of Uncle Bill's nightmare O/S
