About Me

An excerpt from "The last continent" by Terry Pratchett. This conversation occurs when a group of wizards are discussing the possibility that they might be about to be eaten by sharks... "Actually, we are worrying unduly. Sharks have a very undeserved reputation as man-eaters. There is not a single authenticated case of a shark attacking anyone, despite what you might have heard. They are sophisticated and peaceful creatures with a rich family life and, far from being ominous harbingers of doom, have reputedly even befriended the occasional lost traveller. As hunters they are of course very efficient, and a full grown shark can bring down even a moose with...er..." He looked at their faces. "Er...I think I might perhaps have got them confused with wolves." he mumbled. "I have, haven't I?" They nodded, in unison. "Er...sharks are the other ones aren't they?" he went on.

I'm a bit of a Rock Chick really. Older musical interests include early Queen, Iron Maiden (who I'm going to see again in December this year, Pink Floyd, Blondie and loads more.

I AM normal really, honestly!
