About quentin

A botanist born exactly 307 years after Thomas Blood disguised as a Priest, stole the Crown Jewels and flattened them with a mallet. After managing to avoid coal mining, I moved down the road from Golborne to become a scientist in Liverpool. Where I am stranded with my Cat, Qimby. I work as a contract laboratory technician growing Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. Which sounds exotic, until you realise its basically turning cookery into statistics. My girlfriend Jennifer thinks I have no idea how the world works. I think I have an accurate idea of how the world works. Hence, this blog. The world is not the way Jennifer thinks it ought to be. My interests are now in currency and technology. I forget birthdays, anniversaries and important events on a regular basis. I remember patterns and lists of useless facts. Which is essentially what boring science is all about. Interesting science is abut what happens to the lists.
