JOHN HIRST

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet or to have met - Sylvia Plath - Tony Benn - Sarah Brightman - Alan Sugar - I really enjoy meeting people - poets - exchanging verse etc - READING CURRENT AFFAIRS - Bloggers with a satirical - political humorous view of life - its good for me to 'keep it light' and laugh. I also like to meet - help people whether they and/or family members etc have Asthma - Respiratory disease of any kind. I do believe that often children and the elderly are mis-diagnosed - and given wrong - strong drugs - 'too early' especially the main 3-4 inhalers.This masks the true symptoms which are often allergic or food based allergies. Making it difficult to 'back-track. I enjoy all forms of thriller - crime fiction - I can escape my world of sleepless - pain and hurt by reading these I AM A MONET FANATIC - I also enjoy Kandinsky - Klimt - Lowry - many other impressionists my poetry mix is large from - Sylvia Plath via Dylan Thomas to Carol-Ann Duffy plus Jane Pollard. ee. cummings Elizabeth Barrett Browning ( love her sonnets)and the wonderful war poet - Wilfred Owen I Attened TIBSHELF SECONDARY - ALFRETON - DERBYSHIRE and WINDLESTON HALL RESIDENTIAL - RUSHYFORD COUNTY DURHAM this was for my asthma - it helped healthwise but not in any education sense - but being away from home - quite ill and only aged 12 was a 'growing up quick' experience of it's own I REALLY LOVE LISTENING TO RADIO 5 LIVE - I enjoy most talk show type participation programmes - and try to contribute often in the small - 'wee hours' Let off some steam and have a good rant. Also using the blog-news sites to access up to the minute facts and comments/opinions At my age i never really expected to stay this well informed via a media tool such as the internet
