mostly content to stay in and scribble in my notebook or blissfully potter around with i-tunes set to shuffle. occasionally like to hang out in coffee bars or pubs to gossip and philosophize with friends. enjoy going on shopping trips, usually in dusty old record or book shops. like to walk along the coast, watching the waves and taking in the sea breeze, especially in the winter when its sleepy and the pace of life is so much slower.
I'd like to meet:
would love to meet sid james. i'd come out of drinking retirement for one night only if via the medium of time travel i had the opportunity to go out for a pint and a pipe smokin' session with him; maybe study a bit o'form, put a few nicker on the gee gee's and get into an embarrassing misunderstanding over some other fella's bit o'crumpet. kyok, kyok, kyok. unfortunately though, the tardis is malfunctioning at the moment. not pleasing.
