My non-professional interests include the [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] [[Savoy Operas]], Operas, operettas, and ballet, all of which I have been interested in for many years. I first heard both Operas and Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy Operas on the radio as a young schoolboy, and, later, saw them on television (and also in the Cinema), as well a large number of Operas, and Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy Operas on DVD, VHS and CD (I have the entire collection Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy Operas on CD).

''''My non-professional interests'''' (Websites)

I have created (and maintain) three fan websites.

I am hoping to be able to also add a professional website called "''Axioms of Mathematics''" soon.
