THE LAST DITCH

I am more than slightly surprised to score the same as Bag (to whom a tip of the virtual hat). Although he has discarded his beard and sandals for a metaphorical white collar now, he is much more the real techie than me – a mere wannabe. I fear he may have a better approximation to a life. Although, thinking about it, I can’t remember when I last logged on to Second Life without noticing he was there…

As for our diabolical friend, I really don’t know what to say. If you are "ueber cool", dear boy, you are emphatically NOT a nerd. You may perhaps be in the wrong line of business. Maybe that’s why you say you are better at blogging than earning a living?

    I am nerdy about some things, but they are very specific; for instance, I enjoy designing by code, e.g. HTML, CSS, but not attempting to use “action” code such as PHP or Ruby.
    I suspect that my low score was mainly because I don’t have a large comic collection…!

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
