I like cryptic crosswords. I like playing Guess Who in the pub. I like inventing a personality for each of the characters in Guess Who and only answering questions about how they would act. I write poems about peacocks and want to write a children's book about a flamingo and a bonobo monkey who pogo down the Limpopo.

I also enjoy porridge, sepia-coloured things and Radio 4. I sometimes worry I'm a Tory, but am less cynical about surrealist art than consumerism; prefer '70s folk music to Champagne; and only live in Kensington so I can walk to work.

I really value intelligence, originality and art. I am very interested in people and conversation, and think life should be used to learn as much as possible.

I've just moved to London after living in Jersey a few years, and am mainly playing at being an accountant for Sony Music.
