Or parrots. Or rodents. I had a hamster for two years but he died. And I\u00a0had ants for a while but I soon put an end to that little party.<\/p>\n<p>So, about me then. Okay&#8230; I guess I&#8217;m pretty lefty, it takes a fair bit to shock me, I watch or listen to or involuntarily quote Alan Partridge on average once a day, I&#8217;ve happily grown out of games like Call Of Duty and am much more a Prison Architect\/State of Decay\/XCOM kind of guy right now, my taste in comedy spans Louis CK to Friends via Always Sunny In Philadelphia and David Cross, I think Steven Moffat&#8217;s Doctor Who run has been brilliant fun, Man Of Steel was a 4\/10 at best, and I absolutely loved Lost, yes even the ending, sort of. One day there will be another show as mysterious and magical as that one was at its best &#8211; like Westworld! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h2>licensing, prints &amp; the &#8216;small print&#8217; stuff<\/h2>\n<p>All content (text and images) is copyright protected with all rights reserved.
