An Englishman stranded, by choice, in France for many a long year. I eat, drink, write, design, occasionally paint and even more occasionally carry out household improvements. I enjoy most things stimulating, with the total exception of rap music which I detest. I feel one should detest something to exhibit some form of intellectual maturity, so there you go. I feel I am beginning to mature because I listen to jazz from time to time and am totally unimpressed with a lot of popular music since the 1990's.
I also find that I see a lot of popular modern art for what it is, that needs no amplification I feel. I dabble in local politics, mainly because it is so completely different from my native culture, naturally I leave not one hint of effect. I am also beginning to detest those scroll down things to enter your date of birth in all those stupid forms you have to fill in to get anywhere on the internet, it takes for ever to get to 1942! Anyone over 113 would have a hard job getting accepted on a social network, age discrimination at it's most blatant.
