Interests"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decisions, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."<br />-- Goethe<br /><br />*things i think are fab*<br />excel spreadsheets<br />hugo chavez, evo morales & bolivarian revolutions in general (but particularly in bavaria and/or yorkshire)<br />pub quizzes<br />anti-depressants<br />my mates and family (well, most of them, anyway...)<br />books about history or psychology<br />current boss and most of ex-bosses<br />rugby league and most sports (except motor sports)<br />bonobos<br />writing lists<br /><br />*things am not quite so keen on*<br />bullies<br />the ex-boss from hell (EBFH)<br />racism<br />having to get up early when i've got a hangover (specially on a tuesday)<br />self-aggrandizing pompous jumped up twerps (e.g. EBFH)<br />internet spelling- and grammar-nazis
