The continuing adventures of person number 105,565,372,101

In a nutshell

I’m a guy from Lanarkshire in Scotland who somehow ended up living on the South Coast of England and owning a group of computer businesses in Hampshire. I am an eater of curries, a lover of flamenco and generally all things Spanish, a terrible road runner and future circumnavigator.

​

I’m married, with two grown up children. Despite mostly looking stern and serious, people who really know me will recognise that I have a generally frivolous train of thought in process at most points in time.  I’m currently working at (or at least contemplating working at) re-instating the six-pack washboard stomach that I used to be able to look down and see – but that was about 30 years ago.

I am the fourth of five children of a sales director from Burnbank and primary school head mistress from Motherwell. I think I may be the only Denis McLinden on the planet. That’s kinda cool or a bit lonely – depending on how I think about it.

​

I used to be a swimmer

That used to be a big part of my life and has played a big part in who I now am.  From the age of 9 to 19, I swam a mile and a half in the morning and another mile and a half in the evening.  The resultant legs and shoulders are still there.

​

I am a runner

Not a very good one, but it keeps me fit and is lots of fun.  There is a page for that on here somewhere!

Person number

I read this article recently in a scientific journal which reckons there are about 7 billion people on the planet right now and there have been a total of about 108 billion people who have ever lived. So, although this isn’t an exact science, I roughly calculate that I’m the 105 and a bit billionth person ever and I’m allocating myself the number 105,565,372,101.
