"I would rather be a square peg than fit in a pigeon hole" -
an essay which won me the "Lamb Essay Prize" at the Religious, Royal and Ancient Foundation that I atttended - and was shortly thereafter "asked to leave".
My adventures brought me, via all of Europe, the US, Mexico and furthur, home to Bohemia , where I reside in a small historic town, with my sweetheart, first espied in her pram in 1973
Propeller is a fine place to share ideas and communication, both on and off the threads, and I have enjoyed meeting members here and in the "real" world.
I'm passionate about issues concerned with my homeland and game for other political topics, immune to the rough and tumble of the more contentious ones.
I deplore those who "game" the system to proselytise for their personal agenda and am not afraid of challenging what I consider bs. Good friend/powerful antagonist.
I'm also the father of a brilliant daughter and look after her soulful, wise and ageing lurcher, Maruska.
