My Interests

We all go crazy for British wildlife, especially badgers, hedgehogs, foxes and otters. Sorry Mr Squirrel, but you ain't up there with the big guns. Penmanship is the overwhelming hobby; novels, stories and screenplays. Boxing, dancing and Hibernian F.C. are all very lovely.

I'd like to meet:

Brian Clough, Steve Zodiac, Mavis Reilly, anybody from 'Crown Court', Joe Tortolano and Benny Brazil.

Music:

Loudish

Movies:

Loads

Television:

Not much

Books:

Trainspotting; The Acid House; Marabou Stork Nightmares; Ecstasy; Filth; Glue; Porno; The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs; If You Liked School, You'll Love Work.

Heroes:

Paddy Stanton, Iggy Pop, Jock Scott.
