Hello I am sorry to say, but I've been reduced to creating lists. I know this is all very Nick Hornby and I apologise for it, but the profile needed an update and this is the quickest way to do it.

I'm an outspoken, friendly and well read guy. I have a tendency to know a little bit about most things and a lot about a few, so I can rustle up some good conversation most of the time.

I have a passion for the arts, yet I am not an artist, I have a love of the dark-side, yet I do not live there 24/7. I'm smart, but not a snob. I'm outspoken, but not a loudmouth.

I try to get out to as much as possible on the 'scene' as I can within the limits of my free time and still keeping my vanilla friends.

Clubs Tails likes:
Torture Garden - the best dressed and best looking club in town. The play might be patchy, but the eye-candy rocks
Subversion - its been a while since I've been, but the mix of play and club is good

The Flying Dutchman - every time I've been it gets better

Hair pulling
Face slapping
Travelling - I've been to over 30 countries and I'm happiest with a backpack on. This is helped by having a job which takes me away from home regularly.
Cinema - especially world cinema, Hitchcock, Allen, Cohen Brothers. I could spend a lot of time at arthouse cinemas with the right company
Gags - they just look good
Nipple clamps
Flogging - worth saying a second time
Kilts
Cooking
Retro style - I read the chap magazine and have a secret desire to walk about town with a flapper girl
Shaving with my cutthroat razor
Dance (I really want to learn tango and to refresh the salsa I learnt in Cuba)
People with secret talents - I love to learn new things or just to see someone do something really well.
Photography - more of a consumer than a producer in this department, but I spend a lot of time in the photographers gallery and a couple of my mates are photographers.
Informed consent - the website and the ethos
People willing to try new things
Wine, coffee, cocktails and whisky - though not all at the same time.
Private Eye
The LRB
