I have an interest in Lloyd's of London and related topics, such as HMS Lutine, Equitas and Marine insurance. I am also interested, in various ways, in Poland during World War II (which brings me into contact with the famous Polish Wikipedians ) and minor aspects of the British Empire, such as General Pollock, the only man (including both Alexander the Great and Akbar the Great) to force the Khyber Pass, and Sir Ralph Abercromby and Admiral Sir Charles Mitchell, who in 1799 captured the entire Dutch fleet without a shot being fired.
I am an old mucker of Kittybrewster, who, I am disappointed to say, has a much nicer page than this one! Fortunately he has taken to editing this page in an attempt to make it better. Unlike him, however, I have an interest in alcohol, which probably explains why I do not suffer from depression or insomnia.

The moronic 'Political Compass' certifies me as:
Economic Left/Right: 5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.92
This seems to mean a strong belief in free markets and that I am a small 'c' conservative. I found Auberon Waugh very funny: you can read some of his thoughts here.
The Titanomachy; a wonderful picture which comes from the National Gallery of Art, Copenhagen and is the best picture there (despite being heavily over-restored). This picture has previously been thought to refer to Satan and the losing angels being cast down after the War of Heaven; it knocks a similar picture by Pieter Bruegel the Elder into a knocked hat (and notice the use of butterflies in both - they're sometimes supposed to represent the human soul). Although at first sight it looks like a gay orgy (especially with those moustaches), see how the composition draws you into the picture, creating a sense of light and space. That fellow in the bottom right hand corner looks as though he's going to have his eye put out by his neighbour!
