Millington first came to public prominence as a writer when he created a web-site entitled "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About", describing arguments and misunderstandings between Millington and his German girlfriend Margret, mother of his two sons.
The site was initially hosted on Wolverhampton University's web servers, but Millington was required to move it to privately owned servers when concerns arose about the site's content which included a "sex survey" about women with hairy armpits.
He has published four subsequent novels with humorous content:[1] and his works have been translated into Japanese, Russian, Dutch, German, Swedish, Finnish, Hebrew, Spanish, and Serbo-Croat.
