These days work as a computer programmer/electronics designer for a small contract development company in Huddersfield, when he is not doing that he publishes his own software on the Web at www.newsoft-solutions.co.uk

Sid Motishead is another of our contributors and this guy is completely weird!

Seems like our Sid has a few loose screws but his theories are so plausible I couldn't resist asking his permission to put his e-mails on the site.
Take a look for yourself and if they don't get you thinking then you must be dead.

Very little is known about Sid apart from the fact that he is as nutty as a fruitcake and has his own website but doesn't want me to reveal it because he lives in fear of his own shadow.

I would put him in his late twenties or early thirties but it's hard to tell. As far as I can work out he lives on his own and spends a lot of time surfing the web. I think he has been alone for a long, long time...............
