I originated in Huddersfield in the north of England & currently reside in a compact-and-bijoux house, which in estate-agent speak is located in the `Islington borders' (ok, Dalston) with Suzie. Here are some pics of my chums and colleagues...
(left) Naturally, the list starts off with my wonderful wife Suzie Bailey, who's a long suffering NHS Hospital Manager in Tooting. Suze would like nothing more than a cool Sub Zero, a decent feed and a bit of retail therapy (shoes especially) somewhere in the sun. She's always been a bit of a cutie . Looking for some of our luscious wedding photos? (middle) Adrian Fish is the fun loving, ex-UCL STARLINK manager, who's now gone on to (well deserved) bigger and better things in the City, while Judith, after a brief spell away from UCL, pictured here in her lovely wedding frock (right), has sensibly returned, to the Education and Professional Development unit. In case you've not heard already, they had their first sprog in early 2002, the lovely Amelie (yes after the film).
(left) Fionnagh & Hamish, got hitched on Waiheke Island, NZ on 26 Feb 2000 . A great time was had by all, including the subsequent Honeymoon luge-orama. They've now added super cutie Cal to their life. (middle) A fab wedding shot of Ros & Michael M in 1995, also sprogged up since 14 Feb 2002, with Charlie Michael Valentine; (right) Our (almost) showbiz chums Lyn, Joe and Dave W pictured en vacances at Mont St. Michel in July 99. Joe is at school and is learning french. Makes one feel very, very old!
Next up, heres a couple of telescope expert types. (left) Nic Walton , another ex-UCL bod who had been enjoying life in the sun on La Palma with Aartje (centre), but has recently returned to Blighty, and their gang Bassie & Reuben, was the INT telescope manager. (right) Brucie Bohannan was based in Tucson, Arizona at the Kitt Peak National Observatory up until recently, and is a bit of a fan of Motorcycle racing and comic books. On occasions I gently coax Bruce into visiting London (easy) or doing some science (not so easy) to help keep him sane!
(left) Max, Suzie's younger sister is a bit of a plane-spotter in her spare time, which is fortunate since she works for BA, flies light aircraft and has a pilot for a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Baz is a bit of a sporty type himself (e.g. beach bumming, snowboarding, and rocket-car racing!); (middle) clearly another fun-type, Justine M, has given up the delights of Peckham for love in Belgrade. Next, Orsola De Marco , pictured here having a very expensive beer in Copenhagen on the way to her first conference in '95, is another fun loving soul who's in downtown Manhatten with hubby Nic.
Here's a recent photo of my big sister Gill (now working near Calgary) on holiday in Banff.
Last, but not least, here are my adorable nieces Emily & Amy.
If you still haven't had enough, check out this motley crew from October 1999, clockwise from the bottom: Gordon, Peter, Suzie, Jud, Lindsey, Paul, Adrian, Ros and me
