Tries to be funny, often fails. Irish, Labour, LFC, NUJ & CIPR. Has a PhD, isn't afraid to use it. University lecturer in PR, branding & design, also sometime journalist, writer & editor. Will work for karma. "He's not angry, he always sounds like that."
Oh, and the near stampede for drinks when I saw Lawrence of Arabia on a 70mm print and they put the intermission after O'Toole comes out of the desert. We'd *been* there. (They might also have turned the heat up in the cinema.)

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
