About me

Gender Male
Occupation Retired (professionally, necessarily)
Location United Kingdom
Introduction Devoutly non-PC baby-boomer, increasingly cynical, increasingly bald, increasingly frustrated and wanting lots of very bad things to happen to people who deserve it -- the fundamentalists, left wing Nazis claiming to be "AntiFa", and lots of others who have a bad effect on my blood pressure! Unless my priorities and routines change, postings may be, probably will be, sporadic. I'm not remotely PC and regard "political correctness" as nothing less than a social and cultural cancer. It may be that you think I'm barking as well as ranting! Fair enough. By and large there is no focused hostility or antipathy. Well, actually there is from time to time but frankly, I don't really care any more -- certainly, no more than religious and social zealots or smug lefty academics worry about being condescending to the rest of us. Get over it. Get a proper life. My dog did.
Interests UK politics, British history, being contrary!
Favorite Music Mississippi blues, lots of 60s stuff, some 70s stuff, big band and swing, Sinatra. Oh yes, Led Zeppelin, a bit of Rachmaninov, Elgar and light Opera!! Confused and worried? I hope so!
Favorite Books I haven't finished reading it yet.

If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?

I'd remember what happened the last time I said it. Right, where's the bloody malt?
