About

Tony Payne is a freelance writer who lives on the South Coast of England with his wife Debbie.

He has worked in the IT Industry all his life, and has been writing on various sites for the last 10 years.

Tony has traveled extensively, both for business and leisure, and has lived in New Zealand and the USA as well as his native England.

He moved to the USA in 1994 and spent 15 years there, living in Indiana and Florida before returning to England, where these days any trip of more than 20 miles is "long distance".

He enjoys writing about many different topics, often writing about something that grabs him impulsively at the time, whether this is something topical in the news, or something that just popped into his head.

Ancient History and Humor are just two diverse topics that he has a passion for, and he also likes to write about his travel experiences and to share his love of photography.

Tony would love to write a book one day, and is currently researching a story from his Grandfather's life, which he hopes to turn into a historical novel about the last days of sail.

Recently Tony has been working on another of his web sites, The Laughline, which now has over 2,000 funny jokes and videos. This has proved to be really popular during the lockdown months of 2020, helping to  give thousands of people a boost during these difficult times.
