Sons, son's girlfriend and me. Little 'un was only 8 when photo was taken. He's not allowed the luxury of Reading Festival yet! Must collage Reading 2006 and 2007.

Anti-Olympics.

 

Never heard that one before.

Stick around. I come up with a new one every day.

Basically, I didn't want England to host the Olympics. I think we have better things to spend money on.

I didn't want England to win the rugby either.

Having to watch newsclips of all the flag waving English folks lining the streets of London to welcome our heroes home, would have made me angry.

When I said Anti- flagwaving, I meant it.

Hi

I'm Arrazello. I started an introductory post elsewhere because I apparently have a blindspot for subtext and missed this introductions thread.

I'm female. I'm er... 40. I'm English and an environmental scientist.

4 children - 2 at University, 2 littlish 'uns.

I like Hellblazer and comics (obviously).

I am a huge music fan - lots of rock-type genres. Do not like R&B, dancey trancey or rap.

Attend Reading Rock Festival every year with my older boys - it's about tents, alcohol, meeting randoms and generally acting half my age.

Hate Reality TV and all those 'Look at me. I'm a wannabe' competition programmes. Think if the nation are so hungry for public humiliation - why not bring back the stocks and have done with it?

Anti-Iraq War. Anti-Blair. Anti-Dumbing Down of Nation. Anti-Olympics. Anti-FlagWaving. Anti-Celebrity Culture.

Cynic. Sceptic.

Generally a miserable old firebreather.

But, quite nice with it.

That should give you a good idea.

The Court of the Air by Stephen Hunt is on my bedside table. About 1/5th to go but it keeps getting interrupted by all the back issues I bought recently.

Two orphans on the run, each with the power to save the world. Magic, living robots, airships, secret agents and revolutionaries. What's not to like?

It's steampunk.
