Hobbies:Hobbies? hmmmmm endeavouring to get my quizzes past the quiz editors on first attempt!
Comments:Apart from my precious Harley Davidson I enjoy organising and running musical and quiz evenings both at my local pub and for larger charity events. If I have a knowledge base then I guess it would be anything Beatles, The Saint novels and tv series (I collect Leslie Charteris 1st editions), geography and the insides of ping pong balls. My biggest enjoyment is creating "wrong answers" to my quizzes - hell one can wax lyrical and still fool otherwise intelligent people if you strike the balance right! Inspiration in life: Spike Milligan. Are you South Lancashire based? - drop me a line, say hello - I do buy beer you know!

9 "Scouting For Boys" Robert Baden-Powell 1908
The 1908 tome from the founding father of Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell, is couched in remarkable phraseology and frequently breaches what we would perceive to be the rules of "political correctness". Enjoy my very light-hearted examination of his work.
