About Me

Hi, and welcome to my small space on t'interweb.

I'm Pete and live in East Leeds with my 2 cats, Bob and Viv and I live and work by the mantras...

Always a pleasure, never a chore

&

Never look down on anyone, unless you're helping them up

I'm a homeworking IT Infrastructure engineer and in basic terms, that means that I look after the things in the background that keep the wheels turning and the lights on.

I pride myself on being on time, although I'm normally early if truth be told.  I can sometimes take a little longer to get things completed because I have a hint of perfectionist running through me.

I love movies and have a very varied taste! 

Some favourites...

The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, St Elmo's Fire, Weird Science, the original 1969 Italian Job, anything Quentin Tarantino, Life of Brian, Arthur, to name a few.
