The main reason for setting up this blog is that my company wants me to go work in India - Chennai to be exact.
As I've worked in Thailand, Singapore, China and Malaysia I guess there's a logic in this somewhere - though I have to admit it's not a place I'd ever planned on going to. Having done my Tour of Duty in SE Asia I figured it was the UK for me.
The date set for the expedition is 1 June. Between now and then I have to get my visa, get my medical, and decide what to do with my car.
And maybe have a pre-assignment holiday!
About Me
- The Bloodaxe
- The Bloodaxe is a 55 year old Grammar School Educated Yorkshireman with a BSc Econ (Hons) from University College Cardiff (1977 to 1980). For degree he studied Economics and Industrial Relations – where he picked up Anarcho Syndicalism as a political philosophy. He also acquired an interest in rugby and thanks to a series by Michael Woods on the BBC the “Dark Ages” and history in general. He didn’t do history beyond second year at Grammar School – as he didn’t like the teacher and it was always about the boring bits (e.g. the life of an Anglo Saxon peasant) rather than the bloody bits (e.g. The War of the Roses or World War Two). Leaving university he found himself with a dead end company for three years before ending up in the Oil & Gas Industry – where he has worked for an international contracting company for over 25 years in Procurement. This has seen him work in places as varied as Ireland, Italy, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the USA, China and India. Most of this travel has been during the past ten years. He continues to read quite a bit of history and subscribes to The Economist and The New Statesman magazines.
