Introduction	This is the seldom read ego trip of Peter Ryley - recovering academic, former adult educator, and aspiring author. Now retired, when I was a useful member of society I worked in lifelong learning, latterly at the University of Hull, and ended up teaching part-time at Manchester Metropolitan University. I live partly in Manchester and the rest of the time in Pelion, Greece. I write and publish on the history of Anarchism, and have frequent rants about the importance and current parlous state of adult education.
Interests	Anarchism, Politics, History, Music and general arty farty stuff, Literature, suffering - aka Swinton Rugby League Club and Crystal Palace Football Club, making big speeches, resenting the ageing process, and Greece
Favorite movies	Closely Observed Trains, The Producers
Favorite music	Mahler, Messiaen, Miles Davis, but only when I am in an M mood
Favorite books	Milan Kundera "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting", and so many more
