About Me

My photo
Rooftrouser
Interested in Cinema, Books, Birds, Board Games, Music, Linux, Food, F1 and everything else. Used to be angry young man - now grumpy old curmudgeon. Easily wound up by English folk pronouncing schedule with a hard c, claiming to be bored "of" things, telling me what they could "of" done or saying haitch. Prone to whinging that the cards and dice are agin me... Not always a miserable old git though.
