		<aboutMe>That&apos;s me being hauled up the stony path of reality against my will and that&apos;s me too, boat against the current, on the Seine, with the love of my life (but not me of hers alas alas). That&apos;s me. And that&apos;s me walking on water.
Likes? Dislikes?
I have always liked Andrew Wyeth, Hopper, Kafka, Anthony Gormley, Beethoven&apos;s Late Quartets, the Brontes, Eric Cantona, both Richard Burtons, Tracey Solomon, Brel, Jane Austen, Cartier-Bresson, Glendronach, Highland Park, though not necessarily in that order.
I find Rob Bryden Steve Coogan Ricky Gervais Russel Brand Larry David Garry Shandling  very funny - 
La Strada is still my favourite film, Empire of the Sun also - Pity about Woody Allen.
J.D. Salinger&apos;s short stories still impress - &apos;Just before the war with the Eskimos&apos; -great title!  Peter Cameron&apos;s &apos;One Way or Another&apos; I&apos;ve reread and reread. And Eleanor Bron&apos;s &apos;Life and Other Punctures&apos; is again one of the books I still reread with constant affection. And Chekhov. And Kafka. And  Carver..
Politically I like Cesar Manrique, the polymath caring creator of Lanzarote sadly killed in a car crash on the roundabout a mile from his specatacular lava-bubble home.I used to be revolutionary now I&apos; more evolutionary. Didn&apos;t like Blair, changed my mind about Maggie Thatcher, despair of Scottish football and Scottish politics..
One day I&apos;ll fly away....
it says below: &apos;Tell people a little about yourself&apos;....has this little been enough? Too much? Tell me a little about yourself - or a lot...... )</aboutMe>
