Hello, my name is Thomas

I usually go with the nickname grudelsud, something I picked ages ago when playing Quake 3 Arena and it's been with me ever since.

Most of my code is stored in private and/or enterprise repos, so you won't find much here. If you want to know more of who I am and what I do, I suggest to check my LinkedIn and Twitter

Dear Mr Corbyn MP,

I am deeply concerned by the direction that Brexit is heading in and I know many of my friends and family feel the same.

We’ve all learned so much since the vote in 2016 about what Brexit could look like and it would be only fair, democratic and frankly sensible to allow the people to vote on whether they like the terms being offered.

I realise you are a very busy person, but I hope you can spend 8'35'' of your time to watch Stephen Rea's "Cry from the Irish border" to have an idea of what I'm referring to.
