Would be nice to see more Londoners here - though I guess I'm a bit of an impostor as actually I'm from Birmingham. Totally not a scientist but v interested in everything evolutionary. One thing that interests me is how old people are. Through the anonymity of the net everyone seems to me to be the same age as me (34) but Russell's post reminded me that that's not the case.

Yeah, this technical writing, it’s the best.

Roland Anderson Posts: 51 Joined: Sep. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 27 2006,05:02    I used to teach French, German and history at a radical boarding school, then I sold pianos at Harrods, then I taught piano, cello and singing and conducted various choirs, then I trained as a chartered accountant and now I work for a music company in the finance department. I've always been fiercely interested in anything scientific ever since I saw a Horizon programme about the Voyager spacecraft. Nice to have a week off before new year. Ach, Kennington might be near Vauxhall but does it have our murder rate? And I bet we wouldn't have been burgled nearly as effectively last year if we'd lived in Kennington.

Now I'm going in to more or less remote communities in Manitoba (currently Oxford House, 170 km from nearest road of any kind) to teach maths etc to education students (I picked up a maths degree along the way).

I'm 29.  CHemistry degree, several years crap temp jobs, currently working as a materials technologist at a place that makes furnace insulation.  Another year or two and I should know enough to make it worthwhile moving elsewhere and getting a better job.   Surely I'm not the youngest on here?

Cower brief colonial mortal! You are not required to meet our pathetic level of detail, but you are required to meet our impressive level of alcoholism. I, yes I, was one of those happy few who met for beers in London. I had a pint of weak shandy before Mummy called to make sure I was home in bed before nine. Beat THAT!

Hobbies - kite boarding, skiing, constantly being stunned by the mind-numbing stupidity of my creationist colleague that I sit next to every day which got me started on this whole evolution learning frenzy.

guthrie Posts: 696 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Dec. 28 2006,06:29    Last time anyone asked about hobbies, it turned out that a surprising number of us had been or were involved in re-enacting.  I also like to go hillwalking.   And I have a livejournal detailing my exploration of medieval technology and alchemy.  Its great being a mad scientist.  Now if only I could find a girlfriend... http://calcinations.livejournal.com/

I know Lenny is into being bitten by rare critters.... whatever makes you happy   I try to *avoid* being bitten by rare critters.   Usually successfully.   I also homebrew my own beer (a porter I named "Viking Piss").  Do lots of kayaking and hiking (I build my own kayaks).  Used to do Viking and Saxon re-enactment years ago (a couple years ago I built a little trebuchet for the neighbor's kids -- they used it to toss grapes over the house).  Am currently working on setting up a small micro-publishing-company. -------------- Editor, Red and Black Publishers www.RedandBlackPublishers.com
