despite tamzin's current position, her beginnings are somewhat mundane.
born in haiti to a mother of icelandic/guatamalan origin and an australian
aboriginal father of brazilian/nepalese extraction, she became famous
as the robot R2-D2 in the film "star wars". a brief stint
in politics saw her defuse the cuban missile crisis (at the age of four)
and bring an end to the cold war. she then decided to pursue a life
of crime and several high profile bullion heists and diamond thefts
are attributed to her infamous "gang of six".
after re-uniting east and west germany by single-handedly tearing down
the berlin wall, she set off for the middle east, and forced yasser
arrafat and colonel ghaddafi to play each other at real tennis. the
game was abandoned after a contentious line call, and peace remained
elusive. a brief foray into the world of business saw her inventing
the home computer as we know it and founding apple, then giving the
entire company to her good friend steve wozniak as a birthday present.
she then bought the american stock market, and sold it to a brooklyn
tramp for thirty-five cents "as a joke". it was around this
time that she eradicated smallpox and polio, work which is still hailed
as the most revolutionary advance in medicine this century.
after shunning several nobel prizes, she has recently discovered nine
unknown shakespeare plays as well as a collection of sonnets, which
have revolutionised the worldwide perception of the english language.
after sealing the hole in the ozone layer and developing the electric
car, she decided to retire from public life at the age of 22 and devote
herself to her collection of sandals. she moved to levenshulme, but
says she can't remember why. "There was a good reason, but I've
forgotten it" she says. she still has some contact with international
events - she mediated between the warring factions in kosovo, and effectively
ended the conflict in angola. she lives in levenshulme, along with several
hundred other people. she is a non-smoker. |
