Toasty Profiles

John (Lex) Wilkinson

A surreal image.

Favourite Toast Topping :Vegemite
Favourite Drink :Mine's a Guiness
Hobbies :Making toast, building toasters, loudspeakers and shouting.

Lex Wilkinson is a large gloomy individual who talks continually about audio equipment and Robot Wars (and absolutely nothing else). He is rightly shunned by decent society.

He'd probably quite like it if you emailed him about turntables, speakers and the like - but if you do he'll just go on for hours about that sort of thing. Don't do it.

 

Richard Williams

Favourite Toast Topping :Cheese
Favourite Drink :Gin & Tonic (Pints of)
Hobbies :Computer games, astronomy and heavy breathing.

Richard Williams is totally square shaped and resembles pop idol Henry Rollins. He would like it to be known that he did not write this profile. Richard enjoys obsessive playing of computer games and never leaves his house. He drives the Toaster, but so far only in his dark and convoluted mind.

Much of Richard's waking (and sleeping) life is taken up playing the online game "Asheron's Call". Richard's girlfriend, Michelle, has taken to playing this as well, it's the only way she can get to communicate with him.

 

Stuart Moore

Favourite Toast Topping :Houmous
Favourite Drink :Coffee
Hobbies :Wood.

At 8cm tall, teetotaler Stuart is probably the smallest of the team. Although a genius at electronics, he spends most of his time indulging in his obscene fetish for wood and woodworking. He makes beautiful wooden musical instruments, but then spoils it all by playing them.

His girlfriend, Naomi, wants it known that Stuart is "cute". We all agree.

 

Additional help from...

Steve Tate

Favourite Toast Topping :Cheese and lots of it
Favourite Drink :Larger
Hobbies :Playing geetar and being the kind of person you'd be terrified to meet down a dark alley, lacemaking, and cuddling puppies.

Hard-drinking fast-living Steve has rendered the nice pictures of The Savage Toaster you see on the site. He learned to do this by creating a rendering of his 'lectrik geetar (made for him by fellow team-mate Stuart) that is more detailed, and slightly larger, than the real thing.

 

Martin Higgs

Favourite Toast Topping :Guiness
Favourite Drink :Tea
Hobbies :Stunt kite flying, driving kite buggies and oil painting.

Reclusive genius and urban hermit, Martin has composed music, designed and painted (other people's) record sleeves and listens to the music of Frank Zappa and to jazz. Without his early work on The Toaster's mechanics, we'd've never got started.

 

Keef Rogers

Favourite Toast Topping :More toast
Favourite Drink :Lager mate, got a problem with that?
Hobbies :Computers, modelmaking and hiding behind fat people.

Keith is a bizarre, but thoroughly likable, nocturnal individual with a potentially lethal weakness for pies and cheap lager. Keith looks after the website (occasionally) and has both an alarmingly detailed grasp of ancient history and a suprising (and arguably even more alarming) talent for sculpting small animals.
