ABOUT ME

I like to laugh at myself to the extent that I think my own jokes are funniest. I always have. I can crack-up laughing at any time remembering something funny I said ages ago.

PHILOSOPHY

Britain is the only colony in the British Empire and it is up to us now to liberate ourselves. - Tony Benn 1972

Interests

I love history. The more I learn, the more facinating it becomes. History and economics help me to understand the what's around me and why world events happen. But more importantly than that, there's some really interesting stories out there that you couldn't make-up.

• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Freddie got fingered - hilarious and totally unique
Silver linings playbook - not usually my kind of thing but I beieved everything the actors said and was totally immersed.
Mother Night - disconcerting but beautiful
Anything with helicopter crashes - ultimate visual spectacle.
70s movies - 70s versions of King Kong and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers are the best.
Kurt Vonnegut
I can enjoy most types of electronic music and this is most of what I hear these days.
Smiths, Pixies, Bowie etc
I have a soft spot for music from the Caribbean, Africa and the Baltic states.
Truthoughts records.
Pirate radio stations in London
