| Introduction | I am an old man, trying to be more than a merely captious critic of the modern world; in which I find myself - like the Elephant's Child - hot, and not a little astonished. |
| Interests | Art, Cookery, Classical music (non-playing), Reading, History, Theatre (including Victorian toy stage),Ballet, Countryside... |
| Favorite movies | Only old stuff, like Ghandi, Oh What a Lovely war,Third Man,Elephant Man, - dead boring really. |
| Favorite music | Monteverdi, Verdi, Puccini,Chopin, Elgar, Britten - all the old war-horses. |
| Favorite books | Whatever I'm reading at the moment. Otherwise, Dickens, Richard Dawkins, Bronowski's "Ascent of Man" - though the CD's even better. |
Compose the lyrics to a new national anthem that features an animal sound at least once:
Let other countries bray Of clever things they do, Here is where I shall stay. So, if you're wise, will you - Cockadoodledoo!
