A subtle blend of Catholic anxiety and Protestant work ethic, with a dash of plate spinning, a sprinkling of client juggling and a light dusting of the odd day off to work on my own writing projects. Why did you decide to take space at BDS? I needed a place to 'go to work' where the line between my home space and my work space was more clearly drawn. And I needed some new friends. All my old ones had moved and not left any forwarding addresses. If you weren't doing what you are doing, what would you do? Lots of stuff appeals. Architect comes fairly high on the list. Travel writer too, but you need to actually go somewhere to do that (Rough Guide to the Isle of Wight anyone?) If you were alone at BDS and could play a song really loud, what would it be? Territorial Pissings by Nirvana (for the drumming) What might we be surprised to know about you? Two things: I was the skateboarding handstand champion of the Walnuts Sports Centre, Orpington, 1974, and I once played a zombie in a film by Tobe Hooper called Lifeforce. What do you like to read when you're not working? I've just read The Collector by John Fowles. It's now in my top five. Couldn't work without...? My laptop and an internet connection. What is your experience of BDS? It's extremely friendly and sociable, but it's also a very productive space. People let you get on with your work when you need to. There's a sort of 'deadline awareness' protocol that people understand and respect. Little flurries of freelance excitement occasionally break out, like when a new kettle arrives or I win at Scrabble. That never happened when I was working at home. If I solved the Countdown conundrum, there was no-one to share it with. It was quite hard really, just me, Richard Whiteley and a retired postman from Whipps Cross all feeling quite pleased with ourselves. How do you take your tea? White, one sugar. And don't try to tempt me with that evil transatlantic twin, coffee. I won't have it my mug, I tell you. Is there something else you would like to say? I'm leaving. Now seems as good a time as any to mention it.
