Work in the oh so glam world of sprts TV, look after the on screen graphics for Match of the Day and the Champions League matches in this country. Not a bad way to make a living, and I'm now starting to spend more and more time in the office and less time on the road. Been really lucky with where it's taken me.

Well.....this is a difficult question that I often get asked hehe

and I normally answer ' not much ' cos I'm a lazy bugger.

But my current project is a 'ground transportation supplier' to 'blue chip' companies in the south of England, which in non marketing bollox speak means I supply Chauffeur driven cars/buses/coaches/bikes/vans to anyone that can afford them and is happy to pay what I charge for that service.

Oh blimey. So many in software.

I'm a partner in a software house that makes software to do Timesheets, Time and Attendance, Holidays, Absences and Sickness along with a Human Resources Management system. Web-server based.

Anyone needs any of that: I'll do you a deal! winkhehe

Oh dear. I need a life. Or perhaps just another very fast car...
