About Me

Hola amigos! I began life 50 miles south of London on the English coast. I went to a school for mentally disturbed teachers. I then bounced between Brighton and Crawley in West Sussex 'til adolescence waned and I've been bouncing between the East End of London, Brighton and Andalucia (pero mi Español es malo et me falta práctica - mucho)Used to be eager to make it in the 'musicworld' but a sensitivity to criticism, lack of financial support and poor sales put that idea to sleep.One of my most obscure ambitions now, is to ride to the Indian sub continent on a motorbike with my daughter Charlotte in tow, but there are so many reasons I may not be able to convince her of that (and please let her have her own opinion.) ¡Buenas Noches Y Dulces Sueños!

My Interests

DM's, the Intrepid Fox, giving star ratings on my ipod, making my own clothes and avoiding tv. I'm not at all religious and I don't believe in any spiritual stuff e.g: astrology, healing, karma, higher powers, etc... I get wound up even thinking about it

I'd like to meet:

Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace (for the secret of the chicken and the egg)Sigmund Freud and Carl Sagan (for the secret on how to be interesting)Charlotte Uhlenbrock and Jane Goodall (for the secret on perseverance),Lennon and McCartney, Morrissey and Marr, Hugh Cornwall and JJ Burnell (for the secret on how to write)Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris (for the secret of genius comedy).Andy Warhol, Jim Morrisson, Bob Dylan, Oscar Wilde (for the secret of adulation).Germaine Greer and Hilary Clinton (for feminism, but that's no secret). And also Jeri Ryan, Milla Jovovich, Melissa Porter and still Sharon Stone (there's def no secret why that is oh er)And of course Zeenat Aman on her own, back in time... she can sing me to sleep...

Television:

TV is mostly an absolute irritating waste of time these days peaking in idiotic abandon on weekdays between 5-6 on C4, and what happened to Saturday nights in by the fire with a good drama? I now rely on good DVD's like Northern Exposure or Curb Your Enthusiasm and Mitchell & Webb, Most things Rob Brydon is in, Marion & Geoff - the greatest love story ever told, Star Trek - any, Dr Who, Beatles Anthology.

Books:

HG Wells, Oscar Wilde, Ian Banks, Richard Dawkins, also Bertand Russell. Victoria Beckham's book about fashion is gold - every line - utter meaningless self congratulatory crap, the glory of dictaphone authorship.

Heroes:

We're all in the gutter mari jaan, but some of us are looking at the stars.... Khuda Hifiz...!
The Religious Identity Test Your Result: Humanist

You are probably a humanist. You approach the world from a natural standpoint, giving little weight to organized religion or traditional dogma and creed. You value reason and experience over superstition and supernatural beliefs. In identifying yourself, you would be inaccurate if you described your religious beliefs as Christian or as consistent with any revelation-based belief system.


Somewhat humanistic, with some supernaturalism

Wondering if it's worth getting tickets for the Police in Hyde Park.  Twickenham was such a rip off. And now Chris can't go probably not worth it
