EHome Sweet EHome !It's What I Do!!
"If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no head." - Winston Churchill
All About Me
This website is just about me, what I do, what I'm hopefully going to do and why I do it. If you find all this unbelievably boring, then might I recommend this, or this, or this instead.
I'm British, Male, Tory, A Games Designer and Player, An Entrepreneur, A Christian, A Husband, A Father, A Martial Artist, A Bodybuilder and a County Councillor. Not necessarily in that order.
I'm forty. There's no getting around it. At the minute the clocked ticked past midnight on September 29th 2008 I slid out of my third decade and quietly into my fourth. And you know what? I like it. It feels great to be forty. I don't know what all the fuss is about. In the immortal words of James Brown: "I feel good!"
I live on the Planet Earth, In the continent of Europe (not ruled by it), in the United Kindom, In England, In the County Of Cambridgeshire, In Wisbech: the Capital of the Fens. I hope that's not too much detail. But if it is, let's face it, I didn't force you to read it...
My Family
My wife Marie Tierney is a teacher, a history buff, and a self-confessed geek. If anybody out there is currently thinking of marrying an attractive, intelligent, sassy woman can I just say (unless you are of a nervous disposition) that I highly recommend it!
My son, Joe, is four years old. He's a mass of energy and excitement. If you've got, or have ever had, a young child then you know what I mean! Being a Dad is just about the best thing I've ever done in my life. It's also the most tiring!!!
My Mum (Brenda) and Stepfather (Tony) live in Leverington, Cambridgeshire. My Dad (John) and Stepmother (Shirley) live in Hemel Hempstead, Herts. I have two Brothers; Alan and Dan. Dan and his wife Gemma live in Manea, Cambridgeshire. Alan and his wife Candy live in Hertfordshire and had their first child last year (my first Niece) Eva. She's cool!
Politics & Views
I'm a Conservative. You don't have to agree with me (although I withhold the right to wonder how anybody, with all that's happened recently, could vote any other way). But I would ask you to respect my right to have my own views. In return, I'll respect your right to have your own views and we can all live happily together in a peaceful world.
<ahem> Cue inspirational music.
On the other hand, if you are a Conservative like me. Welcome! I hope you enjoy my site.
County Councillor
In June 2009 I won my first election and earned the right to stand as County Councillor on behalf of the people of the Roman Bank & Peckover Division of North-East Cambridgeshire as their Conservative councillor. I won with 53% of the vote - enough to beat all the other three parties who contested the seat put together. It was a humbling experience and I am very grateful to all the people who ticked the box next to my name and chose me to be their spokesman at Shire Hall. I will endeavour to do the best I can on your behalf and to give the job my best and more dedicated attention. Thank you!

Other Interests
Bodybuilding
I've been involved in natural bodybuilding for 18 years. When training in Wisbech I like to use Shapers, 18 North St, Wisbech, PE13 1NP, Tel. 01945 589100. You can find out about gyms in the local area here.
Martial Arts
I have a black sash and an instructors qualification in a style of Kung Fu called Fut Gar, which means 'Monks Family'. I used to teach a decade ago, but these days I just practice for personal fitness and pleasure. I also have an honourary Brown Belt in Shotokan Karate and a Black Belt In Kickboxing.
Politics
As you've probably surmised, I have a great passion for politics, and local politics in particular. You might be interested in visiting the website of Malcolm Moss, our current MP,
or Stephen Barclay, our prospective parliamentary candidate. You could visit the Conservatives website, or you could just go the whole hog and become a Conservative by clicking here. (Hey! It's MY website. If I want to show my personal bias, this is the place to do it, right?)
Games
I'm a gamer. There. I've said it. It's out of the box. What is a gamer? it's a person who enjoys playing many different types of games. Recently, young people who enjoy Video Games have tried to steal the term for themselves, but frankly, that's not what a real gamer is. A real gamer likes many different types of games. Board games. Card games. Computer games. Roleplaying Games. Murder Mystery Games. You get the idea. If this sounds just plain stupid to you then forget I mentioned it. On the other hand, If you like the sound of it then you might want to check out the scene at Flagship Magazine or BoardGameGeek. Or even at Madhouse.
