If you don't know me, I'm an Englishman who lives and works in Herford in Germany, and have done so for a while now. If you do know me... No, you can't have that DM 20 back! (Or 10.23 Euros as it is now.)

I do try and keep myself busy, and apart from working full time I do have a few other hobbies.

Not known for my willing participation in most sports, a while ago I found a sport that didn't require too much effort. Combine that with the fact that it also requires good weather, you can't do it indoors, real people and the wicked parties, it was just made for me. Take a look at some skydiving pictures.

When the weather is not ideal for parachuting I crawl into uniform and set out to Hameln where I’m a member of 412 Amphibious Engineer Troop (v), the only British Territorial Army troop left on the continent. We man and operate the M3 amphibious bridging and ferrying equipment as part of a regular Amphibious Engineer Squadron with seamless professionalism. The regulars would of course say it was luck but they don’t seem to take the mick as much as they used to.
