| Introduction | I teach English at a secondary school in Kent. I am also a part time musician, poet and not-yet-nor-never-will-be-at-this-rate published prose writer. I enjoy watching rugby, though I bravely stay out of harm's way myself, boozing from the touchline and hollering my appreciation of the finer passages of play as though I knew what from which. |

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?
I didn't. I much prefer choo-choos. But someone told me I looked cute and called me 'duckie'. I misunderstood, and now I look like this.
