| Introduction | A confession: sorry to say, but I'm just too lazy to write a traditional blog. Either that, or I don't consider my day to day existence to be interesting enough for public consumption, spent as it is hunched over a computer screen. The little blogging I do do tends to take the form of contributions to debates on sites such as Coffee House (The Spectator), and Harry's Place. That's not an exhaustive list - I also post on the Times, Telegraph and Daily Mail sites - but you get the picture. It struck me that it might be worthwhile to try and collect these posts up here as I go along. So here goes nothing. |
| Favorite movies | Paths of Glory, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut. Not so keen on A Clockwork Orange. What else? Blade Runner, Quiz Show, The Idiots, Festen. |
| Favorite music | Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Chameleons, Type O Negative, Interpol, The Sound |
| Favorite books | Atomised, Soft, Down and Out in Paris and London |
Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?
An answer to a better question: the painting in my profile picture depicting Daniel in the lions' den is by Briton Riviére (1840 - 1920). I first encountered it as the cover art for The Sound's album From the Lions Mouth (no apostrophe). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briton_Rivi%C3%A8re
