Name:  Robin James Ganderton.  I’ve started using the James because believe it or not, there are other Robin Gandertons out there, and some of them are fat.  And Canadian.

Age:  Not yet old enough to know better.

Occupation:  Student lowlife and unpublished writer.

Birthplace:  South Wales.

High School:  Yeah, I was usually high in school.

Hobbies:  Writing; drinking; playing guitar; living in a irresponsible and reckless fashion; creating messy situations then leaving them for other people to sort out; cooking.

Favourite Band:  A dead heat between the Floyd and Guns n’ Roses.

Favourite DJ:  High Contrast.

Favourite Film:  Toss a coin.  Heads: "The Shawshank Redemption". 
Tails: "The Terminator".  Edge: "James Bondage: For Your Thighs Only". 

Favourite TV Show:  Eggheads.  Judith is such a hottie.

Favourite Beer:  Heineken.

Favourite Spirit:  Whiskey.

Favourite Cocktail:  Vodka Red Bull.  Yes, that’s a cocktail.  Fuck you.

Favourite Authors:  Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kazou Ishiguro, Nick Hornby, Joanne Harris, Oscar Wilde.

Favourite Genre Authors:  Isaac Asimov, Michael Connelly, Michael Crichton, Lee Child, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Ian Fleming.

Favourite Journalists:   Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe.

Favourite Painting:  Either The Haywain by Constable or Ophelia by Millais.

Favourite Poem:  The Lady of Shallot, by Tennyson.

Favourite Sport:  Football.  I support Manchester United and Cardiff City, and for every slice of joy United bring me, Cardiff make sure to balance it all out.  Last season, they were a lock in for the playoffs with just four games to go.  What happened?  They lost every single one of those last four games – one of them six nil – to miss out on the final playoff spot on goal difference.  If they’d have just lost that game five nil, they’d have made it.  But no, that’s too much to ask, apparently. Bastards.
