A witty, engaging and insightful interview will be posted here eventually.
Until then, here’s one from the South Western Times.
“Continue reading” for more details. A few jottings, musings etc in no particular order other than I said them.

I am in the fortunate situation of having no real obligations so I can go out to the shed and do whatever strikes me on the day rather then grinding on with a bogged down PhD. I get a lot of pleasure from doing projects and putting them on my site and this has been a real motivator for me. My main problem is that there is so much to do. I have a huge list of worthy projects, a number of which have not been described on the net.

Another set of questions from Medical Forum magazine 2014.

# If I could go back in time I’d…
Have a chat to Nikola Tesla, the great inventor, to tell him how far his many electrical inventions such as radio have come in 150 years. And to get a few tips for my own high voltage Tesla coils.

# What will you be remembered for?
Not my medicine!
However, my stunts with Tesla coil sparks have been seen by 20 million people around the world in over 20 different TV segments.
I regard myself as an ordinary bloke who loves tinkering in the shed but with extraordinary things like 10 foot sparks, electrical explosions, lasers, magnetic levitation, radioactivity, electronics and the world’s brightest LED bike light.  Long exposure photography is the key to the popularity of these images.

# Medicine is an interesting profession because…
I have had a decade of formal medical specialist training and ongoing structured learning to become just another country specialist.
Compare that with my hobby which is esoteric, internationally known, often unique worldwide, and completely self taught.

# My most embarrassing medical moment was…
Not knowing who Dr Kim Hames is. Politics is not on my bucket list.

# The three people I’d most like to invite to dinner would be…
Nikola Tesla and two gorgeous blondes (if my wife agrees).
