    Stuart MacBride

    Aka

    The life and times of a bearded write-ist.

    Stuart MacBride (thats me) was born in Dumbarton -- which is Glasgow as far as Im concerned -- moving up to Aberdeen at the tender age of two, when fashions were questionable. Nothing much happened for years and years and years: learned to play the recorder, then forgot how when they changed from little coloured dots to proper musical notes (why the hell couldnt they have taught us the notes in the first bloody place?
