into: Climbing, learning the guitar, reading huge novels, cooking for friends, singing in the shower, long warm bath (with a huge novel), dancing with my daughter in the kitchen, poetry, and many other joyful things.

not into: Happily having a conversation with a stranger, when they assume they can say something bigoted or prejudiced in your presence. And then you have to point out to them what a twat they are, and it all goes downhill from there.

makes me happy: Oh, you know who you are!

makes me sad: Politcal expediency, bigotry, hatred, small mindedness, intolerance of difference. Oh, and the Yorkshire weather.

hobbies: Walking and mountaineering, collecting art.

5 things i can't live without: Family Mountains Sea Art Books

vices: Using a Socialist Workers Party placard as an umbrella for my daughter on anti-war demos.

i spend most of my free time: 5000 miles away

 

occupation: Subversion of the capitalist tyrants

current crush: Washington girls, who are beautiful beyond compare

stats: My job is stats - you think I want to measure anything when I get home?

body mods: Completely knackered lower back, snapped ankle, ripped shoulder, damaged elbow, all from climbing falls. Does that count?

heroes: Tom Paine Shelley John Ball Gandhi William Wilberforce

gets me hot: Cotton dresses in summer sun. Pink toes in the sand.

favorite position: Halfway up a Scottish winter mountain in bright sunlight, well below zero.

fantasy: If I tell, it might not come true!

sign: Keep Left

most humbling moment: After protesting against the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela in the eighties, to see him on stage at his 90th birthday celebrations. Makes life worth living.

i lost my virginity: so long ago it probably wouldn't recognise me now.
