I am here for Friends

About Me

I am probably what you think: a lucky average white dude with never-had-to-sweat-itude (except in studying Mandarin); Head of the English Programme Service at Radio Television Hong Kong, in charge of Radio 3 and Radio 4. I'm a news, markets and radio junkie. Been in Asia since the early eighties. I like espresso and Mars cheesecake. If you're in Hong Kong, don't miss my Mexican kitchen!

My Interests

My roast chicken kicks Jamie Oliver's butt, prosciutto and all. I like to please people but sometimes when you compliment them they get suspicious; conversely if you please their palate, they wish they were hungry all over again. Finance, golf, running, reading, films

I'd like to meet:

Barack Obama, Tom Wolfe, Billy Bob Thornton, Bill Murray and Johnny Depp.

Music:

I like it. Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Damien Rice, Greg Brown, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Santana, Louis Armstrong, Gwen Stefani

Movies:

The quirky kind (Jim Jarmusch, Christopher Guest and early Ang Lee) but also films like Lost in Translation, The Queen, As Good As it Gets, Shawshank Redemption, School Of Rock, Bruce Lee films

Television:

YouTube, Prison Break, Heroes, Lost, Seinfeld

Books:

A Man In Full, Death in Venice, The Long Tail, The World Is Flat, Catch 22

Heroes:

Ang Lee (Taiwan kid takes on the world), Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan

My Blog

Out of the shute

The first thing I can think of is... we need a web editor at my radio station RTHK, Radio 3. This isn't really the place to advertise but it's what I'm thinking about at the moment. Oh, you don't know...
