physeteridaeHi, I'm Chris. I'm a 44-year-old Scotsman living in Greater London, England.
Work: I work as a Public Policy Manager for an international law firm. I provided our clients with strategic advice on the work of, and their relationships with, Parliament, Government and the policy community. I also train our clients and our various internal legal teams on public policy and strategic communications.
This will likely be the only time I ever mention anything about my work. As you can imagine, it's rather confidential.
Personal Stuff: I am possibly the most boring person on the internet. Hopefully I'm using these terms correctly - I'm a white straight cis male. I have no major disabilities or illnesses to speak of, although I am dyslexic and very fond of spellcheck and grammarly. I am upper middle-class and live in an affluent neighborhood. I believe in science, I am against racism, homophobia, etc and expect that people will respect that. If I make an error in judgement, I will acknowledge and try learn from my mistakes. I respect views that don't necessarily align with mine, but I don't respect outright bigotry or hatred. I read Law with Politics at university, followed by an MA in Political Economy. I am spiritual with Buddhist leanings. Politically I am Liberal Socialist. My favourite food is pizza.
Family and Friends: I have been married to my wife Ellie for 23 years. We have 3 children - Mary (22), Charlie (20) and Alex (18, 19 in December)
My parents are both still alive, married and relatively healthy which I am more thankful for every year. They still live up in Aberdeen, I talk to them every week and try to see them 4-5 times a year. I'm the oldest of four boys, my brothers Thomas, Henry and William are scattered all over the British Isles
Hobbies and Interests: I'm not into fandom or fan-fiction - although I do love fantasy, horror & science-fiction. I love rock music, rock climbing, snowboarding, marvel movies, Norse mythology, work in politics and nerd out over true crime, serial killers, social justice and political science & philosophy. Moby Dick & Jaws are two of my favourites movies, along with the original Jurassic Park trilogy. I've also been enjoying The Meg movie and books by Steve Alten. The MCU movie series is taking over not just my life, but my childrens' too, and Thor is my God. Stephen King and Michael Crichton are probably my favourite writers, Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard are my favourite directors. I support Arsenal FC. Music wise, we're talking Aerosmith, Metallica, Guns N' Roses & Van Halen.
