Back in the 90's I created 2 hit TV cartoon series in the UK (The Dreamstone and Bimble's Bucket)
For my sins, I also storyboarded the opening sequence of the infamous, 'Howard The Duck' for my Yank friend George Lucas ( name dropping, but true!)
(If anyone wants to buy the original illustrations?...I still have them!)
Ambition?.. to get my first novel 'RETRIBUTION' http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/1873203640/reviews/202-6013439-2435810
onto the screen!...any screen!

Hobbies?
My work is my hobby...The miserable ammount I seem to earn proves it's a bloody hobby!!!
However,I used to shoot pistol and rifle in the NSRA National League, was a member of the British Sub Aqua Club, and attained Brown Belt with the British Judo Association. But since I got married and had 2 sprogs, I don't seem to have much time for anything.
Except!!!..I love 'Pub Quizzes'and once a month I compile and host one in my home town! I get free drinks for doing it, so I can never remember who the winners were or where I held it!

I love;
hotrods (I'm currently restoring the 1972 Juppbug to mint condition) http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/altpics/nimrod.html
..aircraft, Archaeology, Natural History, astrophysics and, I'm addicted to www.funtrivia.com (LimeyOK)

My best SETI scores after nearly 5 years was July 7 2005 where I recorded two contigious hits of 4.34 and 4.04
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1,
Because it's a way that an ordinary bloke like me can feel that he's actually part of serious scientific exploration!

2, It's brilliant!...and has divorced itself from the Looneytoons brigade, i.e. the Alien abducted, crop circles, Loch Ness Monsters and 'God talks to me' lot!

3, Have the wave lengths of Hydrogen and Helium been investigated for radio traffic?
