I am sarcastic, intelligent, and unpredictable.

My Self-Summary

Well, where to begin: I do not suffer fools or soap addicts, only drink coffee when it is hot enough to take the skin off the roof of your mouth. I like cats.I have a mind like a steel trap and unfortunately have a tendancy not to forget anything, although this is a good thing it can make me appear distant and distracted, which in themselves aren't bad things - oh yes I go off on tangents and ramble on.

What I’m doing with my life

Lecturing for money to play with and students to torment. Would like to escape from Bingley and find some nice organisation that would maintain me as part of the national heritage and allow me to spend my days thinking or alternatively organise Chelsea Flower Show

I’m really good at

most things I put my mind to, apart from what would perhaps be considered the arts e.g.can't sing, dance, play a musical instrument...hold on this was supposed to be things I'm good at!

So, I'm very good at making disparaging remarks about myself, making a fool of myself if it will cheer a friend up, listening without judging, oh and putting my foot in it

The first things people usually notice about me

Height - 6ft, very deep voice - mistaken for male on the telephone more times than i'd care to count, and hair depending on what colour it is - currently sort of purple.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books - the list is almost endless but I do not like chick lit or anything that could be called romantic fiction unless it was written more than 100 years ago. Science Fiction is what I return to when I need to feel safe. Text books - currently reading "A fly for the prosecution". Movies: Breakfast at Tiffanys, Grosse Point Blank, Donnie Darko, Serendipity, Harvey, Moonstruck, Blade Runner, Brazil, Chocolat and and and...
Music: Currently; Zutons, Maximo park, Modest Mouse, Razorlight. Always; Opera, Tom McRae, Ice House, The Blessing
Food: Does coffee count? Cheese, Curry, Chocolate, Chinese, Marmite

The six things I could never do without

coffee, cats, marmite, cheese,chocolate and more coffee

I spend a lot of time thinking about

My current thoughts are fixated on how to investigate fire without setting off the smoke alarms, burn Elmo burn, and how to grow maggots when the technician has fly spray in her pocket? The thoughts that take up most of my time at present are concerned with my attempts to portray a human being and to slightly soften the general opinion of my students that i'm "mad, bad and dangerous to know". I should add that the reasons for their opinion bear no resemblance to Lady Caroline Lamb's reasons for describing Byron with these words.

On a typical Friday night I am

Depending on the week I've had I could be
a) asleep
b) in bed with a good book
c) out with friends
d) whispering sweet nothings to a large steaming mug of coffee
