I have a vocational qualification in journalism, but no degree.

Everybody calls me Tony apart from my mother: she calls me Antony.

Apparently I don’t suffer fools gladly: this was recently pointed out to me - I thought I was overflowing with the milk of human kindness.

At any given time I try to own 14 pairs of socks and underpants.

I make a list every night of the things to do the next day.

Despite having been a successful web designer for several years, I can be very slow to pick up new digital technologies (my 71 year old mother had to show me how to use my camera).

I own around 600 books.

I’m unable to get on most underground lines because of panic attacks.

I have read the novel Money, by Martin Amis, nine times.

If I could afford it I would eat out at restaurants every night.

I’m getting more left-wing as I grow older.

I’m a Mac owner, but I’m perfectly happy using a PC.

I’m a Guardian reading type, but I frequently buy the Guardian and find there is little I want to read.

The amount of diet coke I drink can’t be healthy (I have recently become addicted to diet coke with cherry).

I go through phases of listening to Radio 3 in the hope of educating myself about classical music and jazz: I’m always on some self improvement plan.

Thankfully I haven’t had to have much dental work done.

I had a mohican haircut when I was 15 (a proper punk one).

It takes me an hour to get ready in the morning: the routine includes taking a bath and having two strong mugs of coffee and a mug of tea.
