Paul Gallimore studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at London's South Bank Polytechnic, at which time he personally invented binge drinking.After the college years he worked for GEC computers as a disk drive specialist, back in the days when disk drives were as big as washing machines and computers had to be 'bootstrapped' with paper tape. He then moved to the City of London office of the American computer giant, Data General, where he invented reversing the wrong way up a one-way streets (where necessary) and jamming parking meters in order to park for free.After that Gallimore became national Service Manager for a small company that sold new and second-hand computers into the printing industry. Not all of the customers knew they were second-hand, though. Thereafter, he ran his own company for a number of years, before moving back to gainful employment at Kodak. During the self-employed period he unsuccessfully attempted to persuade several venture capitalists to back a business venture that subsequently earned a rival company over £130m, cash. He was disappointed by this and is prone to telling strangers about it at bus stops.His first book, Fulham and Philadelphia, was published in paperback in 1996 and has since been updated and re-published for Kindle under the search engine-friendly name of The Mary Celeste Papers. The new version has proper punctuation and everything.Other achievements include personally extending his house in 1986, a task which was scheduled to take 6 months, but actually took three and a half years. He also ran a boys' soccer club between 1995-2000, a project which it transpires not only requires good coaching skills, but also diplomatic strategies to match anything employed by the United Nations.Whilst doing the above things Mr. Gallimore also received a half-credit for raising two fine young gentlemen, Thomas and James. He is not allowed to be their friend on Facebook.
