My name is Christian Shrigley and I am an Englishman abroad. I grew up in "The Biggest Village in England", also known as DERBY (pronounced DARBY). I had a strange up-bringing, full of circus animals, freaks and acrobats. Infact, I travelled with a troop of sideshow freaks until the age of 10. My parents were killed in a bizarre tent- erecting accident and I was adopted by a travelling band of renegade midget clowns. I adjusted quickly. They raised me as one of their own (even though I was already 6'5" tall). They trained me in the all-but-lost and ancient Swedish art of looking small. To this day, I appear to look no more that 5'6" tall.

All those painful memories are now long behind me and I am now almost completely recovered (hehehe). I am 30 years old and divorced. I am a single parent, raising my wonderful Son Zac.

My life is a mixture of games, strange friends and farm animals.

Why not read my Resume, a truly great cure for insomnia.
