I’m a History and Politics teacher so love anything political and having debates as well as visiting historical places. News and current affairs junkie but the only media I properly trust is Private Eye. I am an avid traveller always looking for the next trip and I enjoy going on walks in the Lakes/Peaks, I've been to Italy, Poland and Belgium recently. CAMRA member and old pub aficionado. I have not yet joined the Craft Beer revolution.
Passion is music..pretty much all the post-punk bands from the 80s like The Sound, The Chameleons, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Velevet Underground, The Cure, The Fall, Joy Division,The Smiths, the Doors, Cocteau Twins, Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett, The Pogues, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wild Beasts, Bombay Bicycle Club, Public Service Broadcasting, Nick Drake, Nick Cave,
Enjoy books about music and films and politics in particular. 1984, the Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, Private Eye,
Love comedy shows like Peep Show, The Thick of it, Brass Eye/Day Today, Alan Partridge, Bottom, The Young Ones, Father Ted, Have I got news for you, anything a bit different really. Same goes for films, has to tell a really good story: Control, Downfall, Goodbye Lenin, In the Loop, The Death of Stalin etc.
Food: Indian, Italian, British, Chinese..probably in that order
