Profile

Once upon a time I was a world authority in my own field (a small muddy one in Belgium) on the archaeology of the end of the last Ice Age. My speciality was the development of a series of non-transferable skills, particularly centred on the identification and analysis of animal bones and stone tools.... a topic on which I can bore for Britain. More entertainingly I went to lots of foreign parts, dug holes, and drank beer. After much careful consideration of the complex and subtle interplay of many fundamental issues relating to the origins of humankind and world prehistory in general I concluded that:

• the southern hemisphere is generally a good place to be


• I like beer


• IT is less stressful and pays better than academia

I only sing when drunk. This has been described as a "remarkable, unique, and unforgettable experience".

Most of this is locked to friends only.
