About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes staring at that photo on the BBC news web thingy. I’ve had a few drinks admittedly, but it is completely fascinating. There but for the grace of God go I and all that. 91 is a cracking age to live to and I sort of hope I end up looking as mad as john Profumo did at that age.
It’s like he had some revelation at 80 that he didn’t have much hair left and was going to make the most of it, dammit!
