About me

Gender Male
Industry Technology
Occupation Too boring for words
Location East Anglia, United Kingdom
Introduction Egotistical monster with a relatively kind heart. Taurean with all that that entails. Mercurial misanthrope who would really, you know, like to make the world a better place but is too busy making money out of a middle-management job that benefits no-one. I'm not so bad really, compared to most third-world dictators. By tomorrow I will have decided this profile is slightly bleak - told you I was mercurial.
Interests Trying to be a good absentee father, if that's not a contradiction in terms; reading, listening to music, travel, friends and family, angst.
Favorite Movies Hope and Glory, Trainspotting, Withnail and I, anything by Almodovar, Short Cuts, Magnolia, anything by the Coen brothers (especially Big Lebowski)
Favorite Music Dylan, Stones, Beatles, and most of what follows thereafter
Favorite Books Moon Palace and anything else by Paul Auster, Girlfriend in a Coma and anything else by Douglas Coupland, Catch 22, Vanity Fair, Anthony Powell's "Dance to the Music of Time", most of Graham Greene, all of Evelyn Waugh, Arnold Bennett, Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett, Rohinton Mistry
