I'd like chocolate which has a low glycemic index, is rich in Omega 3 and natural anti-oxidants, yet still tastes like chocolate.


Radio Guests who are Fascinating, Articulate and Always Reply to E-mail
I host a radio show and spend most of my working day trying to track down interesting guests. People who don't reply to e-mails/phone-calls are the bane of my working life. As are people who write interesting books/found cool websites but don't know how to talk about them.


Endless Seasons of Six Feet Under, The Office, Peep Show and The Sopranos
Who's with me?

My brother reading to me... being indoctrinated with pacifist politics when I was far too young to understand what they meant.

In fairness, I was about 5 and most of my favourite cartoons revolved around talking cars and anthropomorphic amphibians blasting bad guys with high-tech lasers, without anyone ever getting seriously hurt or killed.

Still, it sunk in: 18 years later I wrote my undergrad thesis on Gandhi.
