Vulture Central's sub-editor studied Ancient History at university, but somehow ended up handling The Register's UK-hours production. An old-school journalist, he started out in regional news when it was still printed on paper but that industry died a death. As well as his main duties, he has sanctioned side hustles curating regular Bootnotes for readers to giggle at over a ham sandwich, and a monthly gaming column called The Register Plays Games. He likes beer, heavy metal, and video games all a bit too much. Typos may be his fault.
