Old ex South London wide boy who was playing Pong long before Steam was ever thought of building my first PC in the 1970's out of a set of broken Commodore Pet's from the local scrappy.

Lived in South London, Gravesend and finally Dorset (after going round the world with the army) and seen a fair bit o' life.

Now a granddad and drive a real Del Boy van, yep its yellow, got three wheels and has been the best car I have ever owned am not kidding and because of disability play games a lot usually Train Simulator as me dad was a lifelong signalman and I caught the train bug from him.

Tend to blather on a bit in the truest sense so if I do yap on, I won't be offended if you tell me to shut up or at least be gentle and suggest I talk too much :P

Gaming wise I used to be a professional World of Warcraft tank hence the name Dodgydruid and my immense earnings total about £2.60p (I did earn quite some computer goodies though), I was the first tank ever to defeat the Lich King on the hardest mode (no ♥♥♥♥♥ buff) without the need of swapping and also did a vid lost now where I and a healer managed to survive Magtheridon for 9 mins after the raid wiped and had a reputation for being one very hard to kill tank til they nerfed druid tanks. Now I have a realm ranked Destruction Warlock and featured in a couple vids but not played so much in WoD but can still top DPS in most raids.

Historically, some of my early stuff did make it to C&VG covers and "type in" features for Spectrum games and I have worked as an alpha tester and later GM for a well respected and still running MMORPG (not warcraft) and actually have a shrine named after my user name then in the game (Shrine of the Ancient One) as I used to run under the name Ancient One for about two decades til Dodgydruid came along as my new moniker.
