Early Life
Terry Morris was born in Llanelli in September 1965. He attended Lakefield Infant and Primary School before moving on to Graig Comprehensive School, Llanelli. Self-confessed as ‘not the best academic’, Terry lost interest in school during his teens and only stayed on his final year, aged 15, to study woodwork with his favourite teacher ‘Mr Evans’ (Mike Evans), lovingly known as ‘Killer’ (due to his Size 13 plimsole!)
Terry left school at 16 and joined the Parachute Regiment in which he served for five years.
During the following years he worked in many different jobs, including as a labourer for his father’s building firm, before settling as a welder for Llanelli-based sound and lighting firm PA Installations.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a successful life knows no law.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
