CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what's going on.

ABOUT ME

I am employed at the University of Birmingham in the Applied Maths department. If that hasn't put you off then I have a house with a spare futon (double bed) in the living room! The house is between Selly Oak and Harborne not too far from local transport links.

PHILOSOPHY

We have a world of joys to win and nothing to lose but boredom.
