Greetings from sunny London; I'm no longer a chef, but it rhymes so the nickname has stuck.  Now I'm a chauffeur to the rich and famous, which is very interesting work but it plays havoc with my social life, so you might fnd me online at any time of night or day. For those of you who are familiar with London, you will not be surprised to learn that it is now pouring with rain........​....

If you have a favourite recipe for me to try, I'd love you to share it with me and I'll do my best to send you something in return

All sports, particularly​ soccer and horseracing,​ fishing, cooking (of course), drinking, gambling and generally misbehaving

When you get to my age, you have a lot to choose from; Beatles, Motown, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, The Who, The Faces, Boz Scaggs, Bowie, Dr Feelgood, Elvis Costello, B52's, Talking Heads, The Jam, XTC, ZZ Top, Aztec Camera, Bob Marley, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Ting Tings and Mozart

Anything funny, from the Marx Brothers to Monty Python to Napoleon Dynamite; my favourite of all is Midnight Run, with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin

Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Fawlty Towers, Hancock's Half Hour, South Park, Family Guy and, last but not least, the incomparable​ Judge Judy!!!!

Brave New World (read it now, it's scarily relevant), anything by Dick Francis and autobiograph​ies, apart from those written by people under 30.

Never play leapfrog with a Unicorn
