I cycle around London, & plan to tour Europe next year by bike.
The West Wing
& everything written by Aaron Sorkin. Bartlet for America.
Smelly soap
I like Lush. I like smelling delicious.
Long coats
Elegant and dapper.
The PCC
My favourite London cinema. I've seen many good films here.
Instapaper
I read so much more now, and procrastinate much less.
Moorhens
Stupidly long legs and cute little honking noises.
Tea
Jasmine, chamomile, and rooibos & vanilla are my favourites.
Cream soda
Nectar of the Gods. Way better than coke.
My iPad
I'm not proud of this. But I love it.
Lasagna
I would eat this all the time if I could be bothered to make it.
Spotify
Easier than downloading; lots of new music.
Sugar
My greatest love and my biggest nemesis.
Going to gigs
I wear earplugs and stand at the front.
Photography
Portraits & off-camera lighting in particular.
Things I Dislike
Clubbing
Loud, sweaty, odious. No thank you.
Wasps
Like bees, but arseholes.
Slow trains
You say "Regulating the service." I say "Making me late."
Bad showers
DON'T JUST DRIBBLE ON ME. PIN ME TO THE WALL.
Dr Who
I just don't get it. It's not even enjoyably bad. Just bad.
Getting hit by cars
It happens. It stings. It's not as common as you think.
Spammers
My least favourite task at work is cleaning up spam attacks.
The Daily Mail
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.
Microsoft Windows
Frustrating. Infuriating. Popular.
Mornings
Dark and cold. I might have it together by 11.30.
The wind
Always blowing the wrong way when I'm on my bike.
Having to work
Wouldn't it be great to spend life learning & making things?
Coldplay
If I married Gwyneth Paltrow I'd be a bit more cheerful.
Ryanair
The biggest cause of human misery since we invented Tories.
Smoking
I ♥ my lungs.
The cold
I'm like a lizard. I'd rather it were hot & sunny all year round.
