| Introduction | I'm the same age as Douglas Adams would be if he were still with us but not as funny. I'm Anglo-American, happily married with two big dogs. I play in an occasional rock band, love to travel (especially to Egypt), and record books for the blind. I'm a profound atheist and believe that the role of government is to provide a level playing field for all citizens such that no-one becomes too poor or too rich and powerful but where hard work and honesty are rewarded for all. |

Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?
I'm quite at home with fingers, chopsticks or even a plastic "spork". Edible-ware (chapathis, Pitas and Naan) also work well and add flavor and substance to the meal.
