About Me

Retired Government Employee (Ministry of Defence). Living on the South Coast of UK in the city of Brighton & Hove with my partner, Ian. We are both vegetarians. I am very interested in politics, current affairs and all that is happening in our fast-changing world. I enjoy travelling in and around Europe, especailly in beautiful scenery, where there are good opportunities for walking (preferably in the sunshine). Particularly like Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Madeira and the Canary Islands.

Barbara Cook - Why Did I Choose You

After all of the serious stuff a few moments of pure loveliness. The great Barbara Cook singing a beautiful song - and here in her late 70's.

Stacey at her best, with some great piano.

My Interests

Reading, mostly non-fiction. Politics and Secularism. Travelling in Europe (mostly Germany and Austria). Trying to keep my German from becoming too rusty, as I don't get enough practice. Enjoy walking, especially in beautiful surroundings (love the Moselle Valley in Germany).

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Classical (especially Rachmaninov & Elgar), some jazz, the American Musical (especially the work of Stephen Sondheim). Singers: Barbara Cook, John Barrowman, Cleo Laine, Patti Lupone, Carol Kidd, Stacey Kent, Maria Friedman, Ruthie Henshall, and many more.

Movies:

..

Television:

..

Books:

Mainly non-fiction. Have just read "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris. A small masterpeice; should be read by all who are worried about the present-day clash of religions, especially believers. Followed up by 'The End of Faith (Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason)' Also by Sam Harris.

Heroes:

All those unsung people who quietly care for others, and give life a real meaning.
