About Me

Hello, there's no real reason for me to have a Myspace account, given that I don't really understand what it's for, other than a way of receiving unsolicited messages from unsigned indie bands in whom I don't have the faintest interest. But what the hell, it can't do any harm, can it. I only log in every so often though, so please don't be offended if you've sent me some message or email or what have you and I've not responded. Give it a couple of weeks.

My Interests

Sitting down, that's the main one. Obviously I don't mean just sitting down and staring blankly into space - not all the time. No, I mean sitting down in a pub with the Sunday papers, or sitting down on a sofa with a glass of something and a book. Even sitting down on a train is all right, if you've got some headphones and a Wodehouse and one of those little bottles of Shiraz that M&S do for £2.39.

I'd like to meet:

Nigella Lawson or Caitlin Moran please. Tuesdays and Thursdays are good for me. Also Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Music:

Albums with songs by Irving Berlin or Rodgers and Hart, where the credits say either "orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle" or "orchestra arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins. And jazz, now that I'm in my 30's. Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, that sort of thing.

Movies:

Ones with not very special special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Television:

I'm Alan Partridge, The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin, Father Ted, Black Books, Seinfeld, Porridge and anything with Harry Hill in it. And Top Gear. James May is the best one, isn't he. And documentaries, but only if they're about Killer Sharks.

Books:

PG Wodehouse, Kingsley Amis and George MacDonald Fraser.

Heroes:

Not applicable.
