"As part of this project, I have to tell you a little bit about myself, so here goes. You can tell what I look like by the pic, so I won't describe myself. I enjoy cycling and, Brighton being quite cycle friendly, there are cycle lanes on most of the major routes. I am a Registered Nurse in a new-born intensive care unit, and have lived in Brighton since 1994. I moved here because of my job, but mainly because Brighton has a large gay population, it's by the sea, and London is only an hour away. There's a close-up of me on another page. Click here to hear my voice."

"This was the first time that I had been to a Ball, so I was dressed up like a dog's dinner. Chrys and I had a hoot, especially on the way home, with Chrys in her ball gown and me in a DJ, walking through Brighton at 0300 - not to be recommended for the faint hearted! Here's a close-up of the photo on another page."

 
 
 
 
 
"This picture is of my Nurse training course. I trained to be a Registered General Nurse at the Eastbourne District General Hospital from September 1990 thru November 1993. See if you can spot Hugh before he got a "make over" and eventually got a life in Brighton. A close-up of September 1990 on another page."

 
 
 
"This is a picture of me at work. It was taken on a night shift, hence the deshevelled, unshaven look. And NO, I'm not a Tellytubby, it's just that our scrub suits come in 2 sizes, too big or too small. In the background is an incubator and other bits of equipment. Here's a close-up of me on another page."
