About this Member

I've just realised that we're getting very close to the point where I will have been posting reviews online for a decade. But if there's anyone out there who still needs to know...

I'm a 30 year old writer and cat owner living in South West London, with various university certificates relating to French.

I have been, at various times, a teacher, film scholar, publisher, designer, webmaster, SEO consultant and media sales chap, and I read, write and act in my spare time. I've just finished acting in a production of PG Wodehouse's "Come On, Jeeves!"

In terms of rating and stuff, I've noticed a lot of people have various 'policies' in place on their profiles. I've been doing this on Ciao, Epinions, Helium and here for long enough that I think I'm just going to say the following:

"I rate as I see fit. If you disagree with a rating I have given, feel free to contact me but be aware that the absolute best case scenario is that I'm going to think you're a paranoid, pedantic time-waster."
