About Me

Having already owned a sports car – and being far too terrified to have an affair – the options for my Mid-Life Crisis were looking somewhat limited.

Going to see Burt Bacharach at a jazz festival didn’t really cut it (nor did getting Mark Knopfler’s autograph)…

…and then a friend said ‘you should set up a website – about gardening or something’.  Clearly they weren’t a very good friend, as I detest gardening and indeed am planning to fully retire from the loathsome, mundane and futile activity by my early 50s.  Instead, my spare time will be devoted to growing nasal hair.

Still, the website thing sounded like a good idea.

Luckily, 25 years working as an opinion pollster has given me plenty of raw material – as does living in Brighton, England.

As those of you paying attention will know, the World becomes ever-more-absurd by the day, and really does need a good kicking.  Not literally of course – but maybe there’s a window of satirical opportunity?  You be the judge from my humble efforts.

NB:  The stuff on this site is made-up and intended to be good-humoured (sort of) mickey-taking.    Enjoy 🙂

I have no interest in rugby - but someone kindly snapped me with the World Cup in Brighton last year
