Cities I've Visited

Status and Mood

Blurbs

About me:

Born in Iraq with a sister born in Bahrain, a brother born in Kuwait, a mother born in China and a grandfather born in Burma I, naturally, live in Bath.


Boarding school where I loved rugby, cricket, soccer, riding and tennis then of to see the world - getting as far as Jersey.

Having to earn a living the wine trade seemed like a sensible lifestyle and aiming for a Master of Wine a pleasant objective until I was made redundant - having gained a Diploma.

Getting married and realising that lifestyle work didn't pay the bills I then, of course, became a student for 2 years at Brighton Polytechnic [DMS] and Warwick University School of Industrial and Business Studies [MSc Marketing]. Naturally this led to divorce.

Learning nothing from this rather clear message, I threw myself into work with American Express, Welbeck Finance, Citibank, Royal Insurance, Oriel Group, CGA, RPM and Person to Person making several billions for shareholders and a (very) few quid for myself launching, growing, turning round, buying out companies.

Luckily Margaret - yes, someone else was foolish enough to take the plunge and marry me - seemed to feel that all this activity was quite a good thing and 22 years later with two wonderful children [Benjamin who is reading Chinese in Liverpool and Victoria who is still at school], 2 cats and a dog we are still together.

I still love food and wine (as my photo shows), cooking, watching rugby (Bath Rugby, of course) painting, shooting and walking.

    Hello!

    I am just letting all our friends know about recent news.

    Our new limited edition CD is going fast. You can order it on our myspace page.

    We had a very successful gig at the Bristol Jazz Society at the White Horse in Bedminster, Bristol on Thursday, and we have a video of the second set. Check it out on our page.

    Hope to you see you sometime at our regular gig in Litton, Sommerset if you can make it. As the gig is simulcast on the Internet and in Second Life, even our friends in America can now come to the show!

    Good wishes to you all,

    -Dino
