    I've worked on large private and public sector websites, writing, editing and proofreading copy across a wide range of subjects, but then everyone says that and exciting it is not. I was lead proofreader for a major UK government website for five years, but then they shut it down. Prior to that I worked as a web journalist for a large UK sports broadcaster, but they made us all redundant.

    That's all boring as hell. Nonsense I throw onto the internet these days generally resides at www.cidlockie.com. For my attempts at humour, search for a website called Striving for Apathy and the author there called Chris. That's me.

      Chris did a great job fast.

      He writes a hell of a lot better than I could!

      He digested the information I provided and produced quality copy that I am using on my site.

      Chris has an extraordinary talent - he went above and beyond the remit and constantly amazed me with his resourcefulness, his wit, his dedication and his unique style. I highly recommend Chris across the board of writing, editing, scripting, web and Internet work and so much more. He will continue to have great success in his career as he tackles each project with joy and it really shows in all of his work. Thank you, Chris.

      Chris has greatly impressed. We gave Chris a fairly complex, out of the ordinary text generation assignment with very specific constraints. Chris quickly grasped the spec, rose to challenge and delivered an impressive solution in excellent time.
