George Fripley
George has worked in government, the mining industry, universities, and has also travelled extensivly. He is completely unqualified to comment on anything and should be ignored, except by those who don't know any better! He might even make mney from his books one day. However, until that time he will continue to write about bullshit, bureaucracy, people who should have existed in history, the odd poems or two, and the meaning of life...as he sees it!
He is the author of You Can't Polish A Turd - the Civil Servant's Manual and also The Dregs of History. The first 6 chapters of his first novel, Barmia, can be found at www.barmia.blogspot.com
