About Me

I'm a shifty-eyed, brisk, frolicsome young thing, prone to bouts of churlishness and over-confidence in the speed my legs can carry me. Which is very, very fast.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chartists, Hampdenites, corn-law repealers, pay-per-smash Luddites, Captain Swing and his followers, poor-law rioters, the Tolpuddle Martyrs and anyone who participated in the Battle of Mowmacre Hill.

It was something to do with the grey in his hair..

2 or 3 years ago I wrote a long winded and sentimental entry in my old blog about my childhood Sundays spent at the local roller disco. Saccharine cherryade-tinged stories of days spent skating a...

Do they still do Razzle stacks?

Ah, it's been an unexpectedly lovely evening. Within the past month my brother and sister have moved back to Leicester. It's been about 11 years since we've all lived in the same city... They're a lot...
