Comments on the picture I have added to my profile have so far all had a mono theme. A certain Mr. Twist was the first to make a comic book allusion with his quip about me being ‘Southend’s Nic Furry’. A Mr. Springate made a fairly original suggestion about my visual similarity to Zaphod Beeblebrox (obviously I lack the second head), whilst I have had a lot of anonymous observations about pirates. To set the record straight, my look is not modelled on Snake Plissken, Slade Wilson or any other fictional character. Nor is it an affectation to given me the appearance of ‘a hard bastard’.
If we can have a moratorium on the instinct to make one-eyed references, I might even ask for readers help in choosing which image becomes my official publicity shot Though what with the death threats, I do not think there is much likelihood of the publisher actually forcing me to honour the standard clauses in my contract about promoting Global Gangland.
