Right On!
Having had Steemit attempt to self-destruct mere hours after my first post, I'd like to apologise and write the required introductory note.

Easter 2017: T-shirt, game and beer

I've been working in broadcasting and software for broadcasting for the last 30 years. It's led me to jobs in London, Sydney, Hong Kong and New York, but these days I'm settled in West London with my partner Janet Gover and a deranged cat named Humphrey.

Along the way I've seen more concerts than is good for me, and amassed a collection of over 300 t-shirts. I've got vinyl form its first time around (but not the second), many CDs, and the odd download, but the live experience is where it's at. I also play guitar badly but with enthusiasm. I'm better at mixing live sound, which I can be found doing most Sunday nights at TwickFolk, where the not-very-folky nature of my shirts has raised comments.

Gaming is a relatively new hobby, which grew out of me always losing at Scrabble. An introduction to Carcassonne led to a three-year addiction to the game for which we are still in recovery. Now we have a good collection of deck-building games and the odd board game as well.

I've been a member of CAMRA since before I could legally drink and will cheerfully lecture you on real ale and proper pubs given half a chance.

The one thing this photo lacks is a book - I read sci-fi, and autobiographies and beat writers and have even been known to read a Mills & Boon (purely to assist the author-wife in her research).

Why am I here on Steemit? Stevec suggested it as a way to expand readership of my t-shirt posts and maybe get aa little back in some way. let's see. Now, if I can just carve out more time to read other people's posts here...
