Enviro-geek. But according to Twit, "macho jousting electrician" and "lacks testicular fortitude". I don't have a book to plug.

Slave to the car. The excuses are cringe-worthy. 24 points on her licence and the histrionics were seen through. Why does she have to drive somewhere to walk her dog? But of course the Daily Heil uses it to stoke its culture war. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj36… @ian_m_greenwood
