British geek living in #Singapore.

Hates fascists.

Being a Brit, I love #football, and you'll see me awake at 3am Singapore time to watch Tottenham play such is my devotion. #COYS

Have always loved music, but went down the slippery slope of collecting #vinyl. Favorite artists include #Bowie and #DM.

Producing electronic music under the name Delimited (see my links)

I’ll admit something uncomfortable: I’ve never had an original idea.

Every essay I’ve posted, every word I’ve written, every argument I’ve ever made - they all have their ancestors. Sometimes I know them, sometimes I don’t.

I'm okay with that.

@JessTheUnstill doesn't make it any easier though :(
@mcc I am trying to think why the install base for W7 rocked here! Some default setting to Singapore somewhere???
No particular reason
My favourite album of the 90s.
