Information about me

What is his name ?

Mark Faint

When was he born ?

18th May 1965, so that makes me old.

Where does he live ?

For the next few years I'll be paying off the mortgage for my flat in the East of London, England.

What does he do to earn a crust ?

I currently work in the City of London for a firm of Analytical Chemists.

I spend my day analysing a wide range of animal feeds and human food commodities. We check to make sure that all the food products are what they say they are and if they are fit for eating. The analysis ranges from simple things like checking net weights and calculating nutritional information (as seen on the back of most food packaging these days) to a wide range of Microbiological tests (looking for such nasties as E. coli and Salmonella).

Working so closely with food all day tends to put you off eating.

What does he waste his spare time doing ?

Cycling.
Coarse Fishing, particularly carp and pole fishing.
Programming computers in such languages as C, Perl and Delphi
Collecting Cacti, especially those of the Genera Notocactus and Turbinicarpus.
Watching and reading Science Fiction especially Star Trek: DS9 and Babylon 5.
