A one-man mission to rescue the name 'Nigel' (which I've always disliked) from the gutter.
Bereft at the state of the world we're handing on to our kids. Sorry kids.
Retired. Former IT geek; still dabble.
West Country.
Not Canadian - just love 'em to bits!

Spotted in The Week. Does this count? Veering worryingly towards 'heartwarming' though. Last sentence has a nice seasonal sprinkling of cringe.
Photographed article in The Week about a reindeer escaping Santa's Enchanted Forest in Formby. He was later discovered having a zizz in the dunes.

I would love it if the author of a book I was reading sidled up to me and shyly asked if I would like it autographed.

Absolutely.

I keep a handy ColorNote on my phone of the ECHR main points, to ask people 'Which of these rights do you wish to be denied to you and family?'
Oddly, very few wish to eschew these for themselves; only for 'others'...
