I'd like to meet:
No bands unless I know you please, no pervs unless I know you, thanks. Someone who'll take me Tuvalu. Someone with arms to drag me to and from cabs where necessary. Someone who owns, or has access to,an offlicense,brewery or pharmacy.

Heroes:
The unsung heroes and victims of Capitalism, from Spartacus through to the kids of Baghdad, and in our own back yard. Whilst we live in a world that places profit over the fundamental basic rights of human beings, we will always have suffering, it goes hand in hand. Anyone who recognises this and strives to change it, is a hero in my book.
