Wow, what a fascinating bunch of people we meteorite obsessives are!

Graham, I had forgotten about your presentation to Stephen Hawking,
cool looking print (and obviously using a superb slice of Seymchan!)

Mike and Alex, I am with you on single malts! Although i cant indulge
in that 'hobby' as much as i would like to ;-) Also I am a fan of real
ales and being from Devon and also half French i have a passion for
cider too! On that alcoholic note check out the following link to
'Falling Stone' beer (always nice if you can combine 2 passions ;-) )

Photography and fine art
Fly fishing
Good food (originally trained and worked as a chef)
Keeping freshwater and marine aquaria
Forensic science
Tracking, i have been on a few courses run by the late Eddie McGee,
an ex SAS instructor who was first used by UK police forces to track
multiple murderer Barry Prudom and worked on lots of cases after too,
