Ten unusual facts

  • We have no TV, one dog, two children, four laptops (and a fading commitment to a simple lifestyle).
  • I have had a home address on four continents: UK, Cote d'Ivoire, Singapore and the USA.
  • My maths-teacher wife has her own maths website: www.mrsmyers.co.uk.
  • My first book was published when I was 23.
  • I have only been on a salary for seventeen months of my working life.
  • In term-times we usually have a dozen teenagers to dinner on a Monday evening (my wife is a youth leader and I help).
  • My heart is the wrong way round ('congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries') and has holes in it.
  • I am a magistrate and youth magistrate, a peculiar (and wonderful) English system by which untrained hobby-judges get to put people in prison in their spare time.
  • I still love the person I married in 1989, and plan to extend her contract should it ever come up for renewal.
  • I am optimistic because I have seen the Christian faith sustain people with happiness and hope in the most horrible situations. What's good for an individual is good for the whole planet.
