About Me

Yes, it's me, back again after my deletion. Either having sprung fully formed from the loins of Zeus, or a Lazarus like resurrection. Take your pick. A big thank you to everyone who sent kind messages, tributes and obituaries(!) during my enforced sabbatical. Anyway, the absence has allowed me to revamp the photography/artwork at www.popemagnet.com so biff along there and let me know what you think, won't you.

(Note: If you can't read anything below this line, please press 'Refresh')

So then, a (brief) recap. One is a non-driving, non-flying green zen buddhist vegan of some 20 years standing. One used to work with adults with learning disabilities, children with behavioural problems, adults with mental health problems, and do nursing/palliative care. Lattery, one has been working in the 'green' field. One is now concentrating full time on one's photography/artwork.

One is engaged to an utterly beautiful Consultant Clinical Psychologist; the good Dr Jones.

One will quite happily chat about just about anything, apart from last night's TV ( i don't watch televison) or celebrities (all better off dead).

My Interests

The Woolwich Arsenal. Photography. The countryside. Abolishing the royal family. Laughing like a twat. Being a professional luddite.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people with style, panache, vim, vigour, pep and beans. Also any fellow vegans out there.

Would also like to meet anyone prepared to sit for upcoming www.popemagnet.com shoots.

I do not want to meet:

- people for whom grammar remains an undiscovered country, who can only communicate in text speak, and who do that irritating thing with parentheses at the end of every single sentence;

- morons; or

- people who think that i will like their metal band. I won't.



And finally, a message from our sponsors. Actually, it's an attempt at balancing out the blanket advertising that covers our pages with crap we neither want or need.

So go on, give it a squeeze.

End of the year musings

Well then, as the year draws to a close, maybe a bit of a recap. I got engaged. I had two nice local holidays, spending most of the time either deep underground or afloat. I consolidated my photograp...
