About Me

I would have been descended from a sea-faring community...but as they lived in a mountainous region 50 miles from the nearest sea,it did cut the "faring" down to rare and infrequent occasions(well never,if truth be told)as getting boats across the rugged terrain was an onerous task.So between the non-voyages the tribe would gather around the campfire and tell tales of the sea(mostly made up as very few had actually even left the village or indeed seen a sea),so essentially I should have been descended from a tale-telling community and a bigger bunch of liars you couldn't wish to meet. I was spared this genetic trait,because my ancestors were the designated holders of the flame,which wasn't as glorious as it sounds,it was really just the precursor to the lamp-post,in fact it was one of my ancestors (distaff side)Eric the Thoughtless,who invented the lamp-post,effectively putting all the rest of the family out of work,a grudge which has been held ever since then. So due to my genes,I am full of good ideas which I put into action without considering the long term results and I never forget slights from the past!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The men(and doubtless women) who aligned the stones in Carnac(as well as the erectors of what we now call henges and hill forts)...Kenneth Williams...Charles Hawtrey...Sid James(I've met the guy who used to chauffeur them.)Ganesha...Laurel & Hardy...and thats enough dead people....Oh and I also want to meet everyone on the planet before I die...who do I see about it?
