Profile: Charlie Wykes

Personal background
Personal stuff eh? Former at-home Dad, recently become part-time administrator via teaching assistant. Former pudgy couch-spud recently become distance runner. Former university drop-out closing in on degree. Former unhappily married bottom feeder recently become very happily married sunfish.

I could give you a list of likes n dislikes but that'll tell you nothing as I'll only pick stuff to impress (Fun Lovin' Criminals, Bergman, Julian Barnes) and skip the real me (Motorhead, Tarantino n Stephen King)....

I could bang on about issues and the rights of man but I get my opinions from MTV and sports radio...

I could wax lyrical about my country of birth but I was born in Essex and live in Luton...

I could tantalise you with a selection of my favourite recipies but you already know how dial a takeaway...

In short, I'm just an ordinary guy.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Space Aliens. Yeah, they're out there all right. Have I seen one myself? Of course not and neither has anyone else. All those folk who claim they've been taken away by little grey dudes and had an extraterrestrial vacuum cleaner shoved up their ass or whatever are either trying to get on Rickki Lake, trying to impress their more gullible friends or just trying to stay out of the nuthouse. But that doesn't mean that on some rock somewhere some little grey dude isn't tapping away on his little grey keyboard right now. He's probably sipping a fermented beverage and wondering if his Proximan Feltoids are gonna sweep the Redtentacles again this solar cycle...

Should we be sending a signal? Why not - it's hardly likely anything's actually going to come do an Independance Day on us - and in this lonely old universe, it would be nice to know we're not alone.
