Been all of those at some time in my life. Still am some of them.

Some more: Sandals wearers? Vegetarians and other ethical consumers? People without a TV?

Despite a liking for "proper" beer, I'm definitely not bearded (but will admit to having skipped a
shave this morning). Will readily own up, though, to (a) being a cyclist and (b) being engaged in
academic research as per the list in the very first post. Not a Dr. yet, though, but hope (fingers
crossed) to remedy that by this autumn!
