I'm part of WP:100. I live in Coton. I grew up in Berkhamsted. I work for CSR. In a former life I was a climate modeller at BAS; even further back I was a mathematician at SEH. My username is my real name. I know that's a bit boring; sometimes I wonder what username I would have chosen. Perhaps Sakata, though that's another life...

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI
