Kiss me and pinch my nipple…hard…harder…mmmmm
I begin today, both with a fairly obscure homage to Natural Born Killers (an another ex-pub quiz team name, if you were wondering where Intriguing Cleavage came from), and by taking the momentous step of losing my blogging cherry. I suppose I should begin with some kind of introduction. When Markus wrote the interim message whilst this site was being set up, he mentioned that I would talk about the things I’m good at and gave eco-warriorism as an example. By way of explanation I worked in South Wales for 6 years in environmental conservation (as everything from volunteer through to projects manager and co-founder of a UK company). I am also politically aware and active and I have been known to participate in non-violent direct action when conventional lobbying has proved fruitless (I love a march, me). Stupidity annoys me, ignorance frustrates me – the issue doesn’t matter (could be debating whether we live in a true meritocracy; could be debating who was the best Bond…)
That’s not all though, I have done many things in my time and won’t bother to bore you with them now – instead they’ll slip forth as gold from a silty pan as I prevaricate, waffle and rant through various subjects ranging from music to world politics, human rights to the finer points of trolley surfing (check the picture – we have plans to faithfully recreate this scene with your hosts as models…stay tuned).
I am from the Celtic Fringe (mixed Cornish/Welsh parentage) and pro-independence. For most people unfamiliar with UK domestic history, that means I’m British but most definitely not English. For the English, that means that whilst I’m a reasonable person and have many English friends, I may from time to time come across as negative about the English as a nation. Please don’t start frothing at the mouth before checking your facts. I won’t take your time now to explain the issue, but be sure it will come…oh yes…it will come…
Right now I’m based in Latvia working as a project development consultant and English teacher. Therefore, you can expect bile concerning post-Soviet business culture and the foibles of language as well.
I have no idea of blog etiquette as to how verbose I can allow myself to be at one sitting. Therefore, I’ll end today having said nothing of note (but you may as well get used to it)
Oh…and Sean Connery wins hands down in case you were wondering.
