health warning
If you are checking out this site in mid May you'll find it in a very embryonic state as I'm hopeless with IT, setting video recorders and constructing IKEA purchases.
About Me
- Name: skipper
- Location: Stockport, United Kingdom
I was born in the Welsh borderlands and grew up in Shrewsbury. Then to Aberystwyth University before working in the admin class of the civil service for a couple of unhappy years. Then got job at Manchester University which I loved. I became Director Extra-Mural Studies 1986-91 and then had a stroke while out jogging. Retired on medical grounds but still teach and write a good deal. Recently took up a part-time position in politics at Liverpool Hope University. Why Skipper? Legacy of captaining a post-graduate cricket team at university.
