My name really is spelled like that – it’s not a typo, but corrupted Welsh. My ancestors were Welsh innkeepers and on leaving the Principality acquired a second F as a souvenir.
I am a lapsed pure mathematician, but keep myself in beer, women and skittles (other alcoholic beverages, human companionship and fruit-associated sweets are available) by predicting the future of European electricity.

I’m certainly open to commissions! Though to be honest, all it really takes is for my occasionally fertile mind to produce a weak pun and a post will follow, sometimes using a review as the flimsy pretext.
Whilst I rarely fear running short of nonsense, this blog is probably rather light on art-based flapdoodle as the author lacks the necessary vocabulary (though I have been watching a lot of art documentaries on BBC4 to try and make good this lack). However, the addition of some artistic verbiage can only enhance the reputation and gravitas of GofaDM – and potentially bring in a whole new audience (I rather fear my one, somewhat glancing, reference to Marcel Duchamp rather passed people by).
