About Me

Protean/ Social land mine.

My Interests

Open heart surgery, Addison Lee and my nails.

I'd like to meet:

Man with car and vast tolerance for getting into it and driving in any old direction until the coast is reached. Upon achieving the coast it is imperative to stand in the brisk tidal breeze, walk along crumbling bits of coastline until fingers go blue, throw rocks at the sea and if possible buy chips to feed to airborne seagulls. This is to be followed by rocketing at thrilling speeds back to London, gin slings and dancing until the feet stop working.

Alternatively, someone who can show me how the fuck to drive.

Ooops. Found one!

Music:

ally illiterate.

Movies:

The History Boys, Intacto, Life Is Beautiful, Drowning By Numbers, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (especially involving rollerskates), Original hand tinted version of Phantom of the Opera, Wings of Desire, A Matter of Life and Death, Citizen Kane, The Misfits, The Last Picture Show, The Graduate.

Television:

doesn't work in the land of eternal twilight.

Books:

Yours. I've read all mine.But, at a push, Hardy, Sassoon, Isherwood, Carol Ann Duffy, Vonnegut, Will Self, Rushdie. It's all about rhythm.

Heroes:

Feet of clay, my darlings, feet of clay.

I chased the moon home tonight, over the church spire and the beech tree, the tower blocks and the canal. As I reached my door it came to rest over the long, flat roofs of the warehouses. It was as so...
