Hello and welcome to my blog, soon-to-be-home to my thoughts on anything I think you might find mildly diverting. Spurred by the encouragement of my family - 'Do not start a blog, you have better things to do' - I hope to hide from more edifying activities by offering a viewpoint on the things, people, places, music, films and books that make me happy. I promise not to cheat you out of money, and I ask that in return you won't steal my identity.

Perhaps one day writing will be my job, in which case you have the dubious privilege of being amongst my first readers. So your feedback is very welcome. Did I split an infinitive? Mis-quote a lyric, use an unnecessary hyphen? Hooray, educate me. But please don't be mean or filthy in a YouTube comment manner, or I'll give your email address to the kind foreign bankers.

To get things rolling, here is a e-Smorgasbord of my tastes:

A cappella and beatboxing,

Choral music,

Stand up comedy,
