| Location | Kirkcaldy, Fife, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | Fat, fifty and phenomenally belligerent when confronted by crap: otherwise mellow as a 'cello. Powered by a robust discontent with modern capitalism, bullshit, the World, the Flesh and the Devil. Am an ex-diplomat in more senses than one. Anarchist and Anglican (perhaps they were just on the same page in the encyclopaedia). But for practical purposes a good Labour Party man (since 1983 - New Labour wasn't my fault). Inclined to use pen as sword, or rather as weapon of mass destruction. |
| Interests | Politics, history, travel, Christianity, music (all kinds), eating, drinking, being a bloody nuisance |
| Favorite movies | Not really much of a film buff; to say that nothing worth while has appeared since Casablanca would only be a small exaggeration of my position. |
| Favorite music | How long have we got? Renaissance polyphony, Wagner, the Clash, Bach, Bob Dylan, Alban Berg, Led Zeppelin, trad jazz, Attila the Stockbroker...you get the idea. |
| Favorite books | The Possessed, the entire works of P G Wodehouse, the Bible (King James or Luther), Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy, Lucky Jim - same as the music really. |
