Languages

Languages

In order of competence:

English
Spanish
Tagalog
Welsh (First and only language until age four, then sudden switch to English due to misguided advice received by parents and anti-Welsh politics at the time! I can still manage some "kitchen" Welsh)

Interests

Pride

In no particular order (my current obsession will be from something in the following list):

LGBT history, art, politics, campaigns
Politics associated with race, gender and religion
Multiculturalism, diversity and integration
Political art (including performance, video and visual art in general)
All topics of global significance
Indian cinema (especially more recent films with social and political comment)
Spanish-language cinema
Animals (especially dogs, and very especially sheep dogs)
History (in particular Welsh, Roman, and British Empire and Commonwealth)
Indian food
Baking (especially bread of all kinds)

Favourite expression

Dog

"Be more dog!"

This implies:

— living for the moment

— loyal

— adventurous

— forgiving

— loving

— no discrimination

— and many more good qualities!

Sheep dog
