- I used to paint - portraits mostly - but got burnt-out at 16 and never painted again after 17 ( ok so it was in the middle of a-levels i had to struggle for one more year!)

- I detest having to go shopping particularly for shoes, and particularly with other people
- I went to the same school that Queen Rania of Jordan went to (i.e. when she wasn”t a queen!)
- I still get a thrill when i get on the net - “just think what you might find today!”

Which Presidential Candidate Are You?
Rung from Rum and Monkey’s very own liberty bell
“A Native American citizen of the Anishinabe and Lakota Nations, you’re considered by many people and organisations – Amnesty International, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama among them – to be an illegally-held political prisoner and a blight on the already spotty human rights record of the United States. A campaigner for the rights of Native American peoples, you organised security for a tribe which was encountering violence from pro-assimilation groups – and were subsequently involved in a shoot-out on June 26, 1975.
Now in jail, you’ve decided to run for President of the United States as part of the Peace & Freedom Party. Sure, you can’t participate in the democratic process as a convicted felon, but you were wrongly accused, right? Right. And anyway, it’s worth it to draw attention to the plight of the oppressed native people throughout the country.”
A bit of fun. Very amusing these Rum and Monkey folks.
