Left-leaning Politibrit known for his interest in historical food, having subsided on WW2 rations for a while and later experimented with other diets. Has turned out a couple of well-received, unusual TLIADs, one about food and one about the cast of The Beano forming the British political class of the twentieth century. He has done other TLIADs but they inevitably over-run or attract little attention (usually both).

He has tried his hand at several TLs, of which the most lengthy and thus far most successful is A Looser Union, though his latest work, In The Name Of The King, mk. 2, has certainly attracted more attention. Generally, he is more of a lurker than someone who churns out a great TL or massive updates.

He also crocheted a black adder for one of the AH.com meet-ups in London, something he did at 3am with a spatula while watching Frozen. Which is a clause you were not expecting to read today.
