Paul Madill

Sabotaging since 9 Sep 2011

"Paul was born in the guts of the 1980s and grew up in that windblown, post-industrial wasteland smack bang in the middle of Airstrip One called Coventry. He roused himself enough to go to university to play FIFA and drink through a history and philosophy degree and subsequently was to be variously a pilot (rubbish eyesight), an intelligence officer (too soft for the army), was going to do a masters (still might) and a lawyer (boring). However, for a variety of reasons he ended up as a journalist in London. He is uncomfortable talking about himself in the third person as he is not a candidate on The Apprentice. Should you be so inclined, you can follow him on twitter - @madill_.
