A short bit about me (March 2012)

Aye up mi duck…

…As they occasionally say in Nottingham, I’m Roy Manterfield.

I mumble and I’m a bit nerdy.

My daughter says I’m a “little old grey haired, hunchbacked, mumbling nerd.” Which is accurate(ish), but she sadly failed to incorporate ‘chocolate’ into the description.

I was born (one of those life events that you have to go through to get chocolate), I had quite a happy upbringing, I went to school and art college, got a degree, got a job, got married to a wonderful woman, had an amazing daughter, live in a terrific city, travelled a bit, but not as much as I’d like, eaten chocolate, but not as much as I’d like, made some appalling puns, but not as much as I’d like, and I haven’t died yet, although it’s only a matter of time, and probably not as much as I’d like.

And I don’t have any stitions, super or otherwise.

Back to MumblingNerd’s home page

Oh yes, this blog…

I nearly forgot, to save wasting your time, I should mention what this blog is about.

It’s a random personal collection of my comparatively pointless puns and gags, collected jokes and a few unexceptional thoughts on (not particularly) interesting subjects; in other words it’s somewhere for me to be not very serious, because I’m not.

I keep a few things here that entertain or interest me; some family history, stuff about Nottingham and of course the arbitrary pointless word-play I can’t seem to avoid annoying people with. Here I can get them out of my system and have a chuckle while I amuse myself.

So, there you go… ah, you’ve gone.

Of course, the problem being, exactly how much is original? Your guess is as good as mine.

I moved a previous ‘about’ to Family History if you really want to read it.

A bit more stuff about me.

And there’s a somewhat uninspiring and rambling Hello from when I started this blog.
