About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find a wonderdrug to make me look 21 again... ahhh ...ok 31 then ...oh, and yea, save the world

ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic about almost everything.

I LOVE 'LUNCH'.

Almost ALWAYS very happy- so happy it is annoying apparently .

Wants to save the world (obv) did I already mention that ?

Still thinks he is 21 - dont we all ? (Well...unless of course you are not 21 yet - in which case you may think you are 19....or 18 .. )

Why be serious ( unless you really really want to be serious - in which case just raise the issue of the losing battle against fascist geopolitics, or the occupation of Palestine or the oil cartels , complete ignorance of people in the west fuelled by mass media propaganda, the incredible mindset that some people think we actually really live in a democracy............get the picture ? )

PHILOSOPHY

Never ever judge anyone.

End all competition amongst human beings and end all fear.

Take time to listen to all people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music- where do you start ?? cant live without it. Nearly all genres- .. dont really like heavy metal though (sorry guys).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing my little boy be so brave when he broke his wrist really really badly. He tried so hard not to cry - as opposed to me , who did. :/ ( in private obv ! )

Teach, Learn, Share

I met a guy once who actually believed the line that very tall buildings in New York really do self implode if there is a plane nearby with someone on board carrying a Saudi passport.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything, anything, ................ except maybe the remote control for the Hi Fi. AND you can share my study for a smoke if you like.
