ABOUT ME

Argh, I always find these self appraisals difficult! I'm outgoing, with a good sense of humour and will generally get along with anyone - though I don't suffer fools easy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw an ancient Egyptian herbal remedy written in hyroglyphics on an underground temple wall. My guide told me it was an old recipe for a modern day Viagra...
