[edit] Rothorpe

was born on 19 July 2006, when I typed in the name I use for Hotmail and on the Guardian blogs, only to see it shockingly capitalised - but I quite like it now. I'm a retired English teacher from London, living in Esposende, Portugal. I am a nocturnal; and survived cancer in 2003: it did kill my voice, but then I am a Harpo Marx fan.
