About Me

I edited my profile at dazzlejunction.com .
Hello everyone! Its me, Mr Beaver star presenter from the now defunct QUIZMANIA.
I am now in retirement down in Somerset with one of the shows fans. Its nice and lazy now, just get up, nibble a log or two, quick swim and an afternoon sleep. In the evenings i used to like watching Emma, Debbie, Amy, Yiolanda, Caroline, Nigel, that old bloke, who was it, oh yes, Christopher Biggin's, but now they have all gone).
I have got some new love's (but don't tell them) Zoe Hardman and Katy Pullinger on the Glitter Ball and Adele Sica on the now "Axed" 'Pop the Weasel' or was it 'Pop the Q'? Katy must be about 7 foot tall, she stood next to Zoe once and it was like that film "Twin's" only Craig Stevens could tell them apart! I don't know what it is with presenters, but they don't wear Vest's anymore. I had to e-mail both Zoe & Adele to warn they would get a cold in their Kidney's by not wearing Vest's with their skimpy top's!
I have forgotten what it was like being thrown, punched, kicked or squashed by the QM presenters / crew. In some strange way i think i even miss it a bit.
So here i am, beavering away (ha, ha, ha) taking it easy with my new friends.

My Interests

Tree felling - Log chopping - Bark stripping - Dam Building - Tail slapping - Mud moving - Bush eating - Lip smacking....
Localised management of the water flow to create an environment suitable to the establishment of ideal Beaver habitat.
Starting to take up photography (i have plenty of paw shots, of the ground & also blurred cat photo's so far!) BUT, as my recent holiday snaps show, i'm improving, well, a little bit!

I'd like to meet:

My Canadian Beaver cousins up in British Colombia and chew over a log or two with them.
All my old mates from Quizmania, who without my encouragement and behind the scenes coaching, would never had gone as far as they have done
All the charming people out on MySpace, that like a chat and a laugh without having a 'Social Hangup' talking with Beavers.
All my fan's and all the show's loyal fan's. I am amazed at just how many people loved the beautiful "QM"./p

Music:

King Lizard (I had to say that or Flash would have tracked me down and hit me!)
Peggy Lee with "Beaver" - The Monkees "Day Dream Beaver" - The Bee Gees with "Saturday night Beaver" - Elvis with "Beaver Las Vegas"

Movies:

The 'New' James Bond film (that could have been me as Bond, but Eva Green was allergic to my fur!)
Sudden Manhatten with Adrienne Shelly - Off-beat black comedy 'Brilliant'
Serenity, Aeon Flux, Tank Girl, UltraViolet (viewed from behind the chair in some bit's!), Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Duck Soup, The Unbelievable Truth.
Then of course:- Rocky & Bullwinkle - My Hero's on film

Television:

Quiz shows
Debbie - Where did you go? I know Henry hated your singing, but....
Play DJ - Where did you go? - my ex-work mates and especially the beautiful Emma! All gone!
I now watch "GlitterBall" Well i now like watching Zoe, Katy. As for little Yiolanda "Where are you"!
"Pop the Q"! GONE! NO MORE! No Adele Sica anymore, she was sooooo funny with a wicked dress sense!
All my favourite shows seem to have gone off the TV & Radio!
The "Now show", "Weak at the top", "Mark Watson's" all finished, J.A.M. with Nicholas Parsons finished, ISIHAC with "Hump" and the team not back on yet! I think it's an "Anti-Beaver" campaign, all my shows and favourite presenters have nearly all gone. Look Beaver's like TV and Radio 4, where's all the programmes for us Beaver's?
And another thing, where is Bill Bailey on now?

Books:

"Beyond Good & Evil" by Friedrich Nietzsche - Nearly! Lost the plot half way through! But i think her brother done it, as she was going to revealed the deep psychosis underlying the reality of mans definition of "Original Sin" whilst sleeping with her business partners wife, on that camping 'Retreat' trip to explore the morality judgements as defined by majority class guilt!.
"The Hobbit" & "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R Tolkien, both of these to read.
But for a light snack i would chose "Log tables"!

Heroes:

Katy Pullinger, Zoe Hardman & Adele Sica! Sorry QM fan's but i have developed a "Crush" on them.
Debbie King - Lottie Mayor
Yiolanda Koppel - Kirsty Duffy
Groucho Marx and the great Bill Bailey, comic God!
