- errr...(where's that script ?) ..... ahhh ... found it.
I've scrubbed the Robert. When someone calls me that, they're inevitably trying to sell me something.
I like motorcycles, mountains, computers (even the one that persistently beats me at chess, I mean, I can always tell it 'My hands on the on/off button smartarse...).
Some favourite authors/books (like any list, this is incomplete):
Early Len Deighton (Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin). In those days Deighton was the Chandler of the spy genre.
Alfred Bester (The Stars my Destination), possibly the greatest SciFi book ever written.
Frank Herbert (Dune) vies with the above for the title.
William Horwood (Duncton Wood) on a par with Tolkien.
Cormac McCarthy. Dark and brooding.
ahhh there's too many to list.....
I also like motorcycles (cough).
Then there's reading, films, books, samurai swords, pub chat and of course ... the beer that goes with it and walking, mile after mile where necessary.
Did I mention motorcycles ? .....

Fifteen hundred trillion miles in two seconds, the blue giant Bellatrix, a vast blistering ball of energy, the sort of place where Gods get created, where the laws of physics are written and re-written in the fiery plasma of an infinite pen, but it wasn’t what I was looking for, so I jumped on.
Two million light years, far…

I went into the pub and insisted that all my drinking pals came outside as I wanted to show them something. Glasses clutched in hands they trooped out into the beer garden savouring the feel of the Sun on a bright beautiful day, weather that always makes the English feel a bit guilty, as if someone up there somewhere has made a mistake.…

( Note: First off this isn’t my six, it’s six sentences of dialogue from one of my favourite films: Three Days of the Condor. A conversation between CIA chief Wabash (John Houseman) and CIA Officer Higgins (Cliff Robertson) as they oversee a very errant operation. The film was made nearly 40 years ago, yet these lines are still clearly relevant. I’m posting it because I think it is really at the sharp end…

Soon it’s gonna rain, probably spiders and slugs dripping out of the sky, that’s the sort of dream it was, you know, filled with chases and usually involves Bengal tigers, Zombies, Vampires, Dragons, psychopathic Koala Bears (best not ask about that one) and maybe a couple of acid for blood aliens thrown in just for a bit of spice girl (OH SHIT that’s a giveaway.)…

Hot off the cyber press, 20 years in the making (gawd, I'm not a very prolific writer, am I?) I finally got it done.
