Hi there. RodHullAndEmu is a graduate of Manchester Polytechnic & University of York who is interested in almost everything except sport (apart from underwater tennis) and Big Brother except in its Orwellian sense. I've been editing here since 8th August 2007. Currently unemployed, although I'm open to offers. I most recently worked for Virgin Mobile UK but gave it up as a bad job, quite literally; they are geared to the average rather than the exceptional, despite the guff they tell you. If you've come here from a Usenet newsgroup, you should know that, as nothing there can be relied upon, neither can anything here. There, that's the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 satisfied!
Why "RodHullAndEmu"?
I wanted to edit as Firethorn or its Latin name Pyracantha but they were taken. So remembering Lee & Herring's "Fist of Fun" and that Rod Hull himself is conveniently, if unfortunately dead, resolved to assume the identity on the basis that anybody these days is entitled to state "I'm the REAL Rod Hull". This may change. I would like to be Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat, but then, who wouldn't?
What else?
In my youth I won some prizes for songwriting and performing
I practised law in Liverpool from 1974 to 1982 and qualified in 1978
I researched, wrote & published The York Quiz Book (1988)
I was a District Councillor between 1988 and 1990, serving on Planning & Environmental Health Committees. I gained a reputation for cutting the crap & getting things done. I won my election with 64% of the vote on the highest turnout in my Ward in living memory, so I must have got something right.
I sometimes write software that does things that need doing. I do Visual Basic & Visual C++
