== This is the Nudger7 user page for what it's worth - it's a page about the things I know about, some would say that explains why it's uniquely small! You can catch me at email on nigeyoung@aol.com and I guess that reveals Nudger's real name.. give or take an L.

Never mind the main areas of expertise, and again I use the term in its widest fashion:

Education: Your host is a qualified and experienced teacher of physics, science, IT, sport who has also taught up to secondary level in a number of countries the following subjects: maths, physics, english, biology, chemistry, sport science and probably a few remote subjects in remote countries that I can't quite remember!

Military: After a few years teaching in the civilian world I moved across to the military specifically the Navy and more specifically the Royal Navy. Remaining links in teaching as a "schoolie" or Training Manager if you wish to be more branch specific. Teaching up to Foundation Degree level in electrotechnology and digital electronics amongst other training technology roles and time spent at sea of course! One navy? No, just like being a teacher it was necessary to be in more than one navy so I switched across to the New Zealand Navy or more specifically the Royal New Zealand Navy.

Basketball: As an ex-national league player and coach in the UK, former university captain and coach and representative of both UK armed forces and NZ Defence Force (at separate times of course) I guess basketball has to be considered one of my areas of knowledge. Still coaching and playing (well, once the Achilles is repaired).

Technology: Hide it as I try I am somewhat of a techno-geek. Only happy when playing with computers or gadgets. Boy gadgets are great! Without them I'd have more money but where would the fun in that be? Anyway, if you like gadgets I may be able to help - I try to get the cool stuff without paying the cool price - hence I'm a big eBay fan - or TradeMe if you're in New Zealand - which I am!

Family: Is there time? Of course, the rest fits around my primary interest in life: my young family. Am I an expert in family life? No more so than I am in anything else, but hey, I try my best to be, well, the best I can. ==
