My early interest in theoretical physics and mathematics has never faded; the unruly sprawl of my web-site is its modern result. In meat-space, I'm a pattern juggler; I play card games; I sometimes have the courage to dance to live bands when they play in my favourite pubs; and I like walking in the hills when I get the chance. But mostly I get my enjoyment in life by spending time with people.
After school (and a year out, split between work and travelling round Canada to visit relatives) I attended the University of Cambridge, as a scholar of Trinity college:

As a student I edited the journal, Eureka, of the university society for Mathematicians (the Archimedeans), of which I was first Publicity Manager and later President.

From age five (1968) to seven, I went to the village infants' school in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire; from there I moved to Stoneygate school in Leicester which I left, aged 12, with a scholarship to Shrewsbury school. At Shrewsbury, I obtained eleven O levels (taken at age 15 to 16), four A levels and two S levels (A&S at age 18) before taking the scholarship exams to Cambridge, in which I won a scholarship to Trinity College.
