After 22 years service to Queen and Country life dealt Ian a pretty hefty kick in the balls.
As such he had to reevaluate a few things, his career being one of them.

So he began writing them down.
(He also did a butt load of courses and high brow educational nonsense but that’s nowhere near as interesting)
