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'm currently translating an 18th Century French novel, and Dooyoo is keeping me sane as I plug through pages of stuff about the penal system in 18th Century Venice.

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.

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."
