Well, I used to play drums in a punk-thrash band. Our audience was usually the other bands on the bill and their girlfriends, plus the odd punter who'd wandered in by mistake, so I'm not going to crow about it. It was just something to do. I've also been battling away with guitars for about 7 years but I'm hopeless.

What else...? I'm learning (trying anyway) to speak Japanese.

I like cooking as well.

I've moved to Aus to try something different for a while. I got sick of the UK and I needed a break. I really like it here but I get a little homesick every now and again,and I'll probably move back to the Uk at some point. Not for a few years yet though.

That's pretty much it really. Fire away.

You missed 'trolling' and 'masturbation'

It did cross my mind that, after all this, you were going to turn around and say hunting, shooting and fishing. Opportunity lost there I think!

A few things that occur to me in your rather insipid autobiography (assuming any of it is true) is that:

a) there is a complete lack of any sense of achievement or success. You were a member of an unsuccessful band, you play the guitar badly, you are struggling to learn japanese and to top it off, in the face of failure, you ran away to the antipodes. Question: now you are there what exactly has got better?

b) there is nothing in that little lot that even begins to qualify you to claim you have "rubbished" my arguments about field sports, conservation and shooting.

And then there is the cooking of course... well you are good with the wooden spoon I'll give you that.

There really is nothing in your life that remotely motivates me enough to launch an attack on your past times, which probably goes some way towards explaining why you get such a kick out of attacking other people's.

Nevermind, at least you've got good weather!
