Geraint Anderson

Before sacrificing his soul to dark forces in the Square Mile Cityboy was a genuine left-wing hippy and political activist complete with ponytail and hoop earrings.

After spending a productive gap year smoking weed in Asia Cityboy went to Cambridge where he graduated on to pills and left with a 2:1 degree in history. He then went back to Asia for six months before pursuing a year-long MA at Sussex University studying revolutions. His dream of becoming a global traveller was cruelly dashed when his brother got him an interview at a French bank in the City which unbeknown to him at the time would set him on the rocky road to destruction and despair.

A chance for salvation came in September 2006 when he was offered the opportunity to write an anonymous weekly column in thelondonpaper. Geraint's confessional 'City boy' column soon garnered a cult following as he tirelessly strived to humorously expose the world that had once almost destroyed him.
