    Peter Durward Harris's Interests
GeneralAlthough I'm absolutely useless at any kind of participation sport, I enjoy watching or listening to sport. My favorite spectator sport is horse racing, but I also follow football (soccer), golf, tennis and other sports. My radio is almost permanently tuned to Radio 5 live, the BBC's news and sports station. It is rare for me to listen to any other radio station.

I have a huge CD collection - a legacy of the days when I had plenty of money - but I don't particulary like listening to music on the radio. I prefer listening to what I want, when I want. Of course, there was a time when I listened to a lot of music on the radio, before I had a record collection and in the early days when my LP collection (as it was then) was much smaller. I still have about 300 LP's but I had a lot more at one time. I long ago learned that radio doesn't cater for the range of my musical tastes.

I discovered Amazon in 1999 when I bought a PC. At first I was just a customer, then I started doing lists and the occasional anonymous review. It took me two and a half years to write 16 reviews before I finally decided to take reviewing seriously in June 2002. Some people think that serious reviewing is a weird hobby but it's allowed me to make cyber-friends around the world. I know from the feedback I get that I'm doing something useful. Yes, I get criticism too, but that's life. So far, I've never met anybody personally (except media people) as a result of my internet activities although I expect that will happen one day, especially now that I'm on Myspace and Facebook.

Music

My musical tastes are eclectic. I enjoy listening to pop, classic rock, soul, country, jazz, folk, easy listening, crossover classical and Christmas music. You can find out much more about my musical tastes by looking me up on Amazon in Britain or America but here's a selection of my music.

TelevisionI don't have one, as I explain in my political blog page about the TV licence fee.

Books

I've never been an avid book reader, but my interest in books increased considerably as a result of my Amazon activities. Other reviewers kept telling me that I should review books as well as music, so I did. I always had a small collection of mainly non-fiction books but this has grown substantially in the current millennium. I have a pile of fiction to read and review, mainly Dick Francis novels, but don't expect reviews of those in any hurry. For a quick glance at the books I'm into, look up my home on Shelfari.

HeroesAside from musical and sporting heroes, my hero will be the person who employs me, always providing that he or she treats me well subsequent to doing so. See my Politics blog for what being an unemployed Brit is really like, and see my Career blog for an in-depth description of my career to date and an assessment of future possibilities.

   Peter Durward Harris's Blurbs
About me:

I haven't worked for a living (though I have been forced to do work on New Deal projects) since being made redundant in December 2002. The occupation listed here (computer programmer) refers to my previous jobs. Of course, if I find paid employment again, it may be in a completely different job.

In the meantime, you should know that I am in lots of different places on the internet. Here are the main links, but please note that I've set them up to open a new window, so contrary to what Myspace may tell you, you won't really leave Myspace. You'll have Myspace in one window and the selected web page in another.

My "website as a series of blogs":

MySpace has disabled links to my blogs, though not to the other links provided further down the page. I don't know why (yet). You can get round the problem by going to My home on Amazon in America then selecting the website link there.

I really wanted to set up a website but didn't like the free webspace available and didn't want to pay for webspace, but I found that I could do what I wanted (albeit with difficulty) by setting up a series of mini-websites within the Blogger framework, so that's what I've done. My "website as a series of blogs" includes a range of diverse topics as follows :-

Amazon topics will appeal to any Amazon customer or contributor who is interested in more than just buying stuff. If you are interested in reviews, votes, rankings, lists, guides, tags and other stuff on Amazon, you'll find plenty to amuse you here.

Note that I am undertaking a complete overhaul of this blog as a result of the Amazon.com software changes installed on October 23, 2008. When the task is complete, the blog will be at a new address, this page will be amended to point to the new blog and the old blog pages will direct you to the new pages.

Trains interested me a lot when I was young, not so much now. Nevertheless, I've reviewed several CD's of American train songs and several British books about trains. Here. you'll find links to those reviews, together with a selection of relevant website links, especially those devoted to British heritage.

Christmas is celebrated on the same day that sun-worshippers celebrate Saturnalia. I think I've reviewed more Christmas music on Amazon than anybody else. Here, you can gain easy access to my Christmas reviews, lists and guides, classified by style.

Board games face stiff competition these days compared to previous generations, but there is still a market for them. This page contains links to my reviews, of which there aren't very many.

The politics of unemployment draws on my personal experiences, covering a variety of unemployment issues including lifestyle, attitudes towards unemployed and/or disabled people, government schemes and future proposals. According to the British government, all unemployed people (especially those who were already unemployed before the 2008 credit crunch) are lazy, stupid, feckless, lunatic or a combination of those stereotypes. Well, I'm not any of those, but as long as journalists are able to find people that fit the stereotypes, those attitudes will persist in the minds of many people.

Jobs provides links to websites offering job vacancies and CV tips.

The nineties job quest gives a detailed description of my first long period of unemployment, which lasted more than eight years but ended in my return to the world of gainful employment. If nothing else, it shows that it is possible to get back to work after a long period of unemployment.

Career looks at my career to date and options for the future, focusing on the business and ignoring the politics.

Certificates displays pictures of certificates obtained at school or for subsequent training. British employers are increasingly likely to ask for proof of certificates, so here is the evidence of mine.

Blog setup mainly discusses technical matters, so will be useful to those setting up a HTML-based blog (but read Blogger's own help stuff first), which is necessarily more complicated than a standard diary-type blog. I hope that this blog will also prove useful to potential employers wishing to assess my capabilities.

About me explains who I am, when I was born (with a few pieces of trivia from the time) and where I've been. I set it up long before I had a profile here and it doesn't really say much of substance.

News media describes my experiences of being in the news, including my interview on BBC Radio Leicester, which I did live in the studio, as well as an article that appeared in The Times. There is also an analysis of the lies and half-truths reported elsewhere.

Blogs about Books, Horse racing, Music and Leicester are still unfinished although you can look at them if you wish. I also have plans for other blogs that I haven't even started yet.

My presence on Amazon:

I am listed on Amazon as Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester, England).

Approaching 3,000 reviews as well as a lot of Listmanias and "So you'd like to ..." guides

My home on Amazon in Britain
Approaching 3,000 reviews (mostly the same as those posted in America) and a few Listmanias

My home on Amazon in Germany
Well over 1,500 reviews (almost all also posted in Britain and/or America) and one Listmania

The Amazon pop music forum
Discussions I started on the Amazon pop music forum
just for fun, but note that my participation in these forums is erratic.

I also have Amazon homes in France and Canada, but I'm not committed to those sites.

Elsewhere on the internet:

My home on Shelfari
just books

My home on the Daily Telegraph
politics

My original home on the romance readers' forum
My current home on the romance readers' forum
I very rarely read fiction and I definitely don't read romance fiction, but I established cyber-contact with some people who do and I ended up participating in the off-topic sections of their forum. As a result of a re-organization of the forum in 2008, I had to set up another account. To see how much fun it can be, look at the thread devoted to Funny videos.

My home on the BBC Radio 5 live message board
I sometimes participate in the news discussions

My home on the BBC 606 message board
So far, I've mostly participated in the horse racing discussions

I'm also on Facebook, but you'll be asked to sign in there if you're not already signed in. My profile there is now universally available to those with Facebook accounts.

I've started contributing to John Pienaar on Politics although I don't know yet how much I will participate.

I'm also on YouTube but I haven't done much there with my home page yet. So far, I just use it as a way of getting into the website.

I'm also on LinkedIn and Plaxo but I haven't found them useful to me so far. Still, they may yet prove to be important.

I'm listed as Peter_Durward_Harris on the BBC, and PeterDurwardHarris on YouTube. In all the other above sites, you'll find me listed as Peter Durward Harris, though suffixed by II on my current Romance readers' forum account.

I used to participate in these forums:

While there are some forums in which my participation is far from regular, there are some forums in which I used to participate, but which I can categorically say that I won't do so again, even sporadically.

The Amazon country music forum
My home on the 9513 country music forum

I listen to many types of music but I like country music best of all. Sadly, it seems that country music forums are often dominated by the perennial debate about the state of country music. I don't object to having a debate on the topic, but having done so, I like to discuss the music without endlessly arguing about old versus new. Maybe one day I'll find such a forum, but I'm in no hurry to do so, even assuming that one exists.

Surf the net for me:

Use Google to search for Peter Durward Harris. Apart from some of the sites already mentioned, this search also picks up my occasional contributions to some other blogs and websites. As you'll appreciate, it doesn't pick up everything. You may also find references to me by searching for Peter D Harris, Peter Harris. and P D Harris, but they'll be mixed up with my namesakes, of which there are so many that you might have difficulty finding entries about me amongst them.

Downing Street petitions:

For reasons explained in my blog The politics of unemployment, I've signed two Downing Street petitions, one to scrap "New Deal" and the other to replace the TV licence with central Goverment funding.

These petitions are now closed. I'm leaving the links here until I receive my responses by e-mail. Given the lack of support for these petitions, I don't expect anything positive.

Amazon petition:

Much was said in the spring of 2008 about what appears to be the biggest scandal yet involving Amazon's system of customer reviws. As somebody who spent a lot of time and effort participating in it, I am very concerned about this issue.

Somebody raised a Petition to Amazon for a change as a result of allegations revolving around one particular author. Within my Amazon topics blog, I set up a page on the topic, in which I describe my dealings with the author and provide a summary of the saga, followed by links to blogs and websites that discuss that controversy and another badly behaved author. Finally, I discuss the romance readers' forum.

Contact me:

Please do not try to talk to me online. I find it very disconcerting.

If you have a profile on MySpace, you can use the "Send message" option under the picture near the top left of this page, otherwise you must go to My "website as a series of blogs" and click on the contact me link at the top right, then use the form provided on my comments page.

Visit Britain:

I've been asked to post pictures of my country. I don't have any and I've no desire to infringe anybody else's copyright, so here are links to some websites where you will find some nice pictures as well as useful information should you be tempted to visit. I'll start at a national level first.

Britain
England
Scotland
Wales

Now, here are some of the places that have been a part of my life. They aren't all worthy of visting as tourists, but I've tried to find the websites that show them at their best.

Malmesbury is where I was born
Hullavington
Pocklington
Mablethorpe is where I started school
Montrose is my ancestral homeland
Marshfield
Chippenham is where Eddie Cochran died
Swindon is where I finished school and started work
London
Newcastle and Gateshead
Leeds is the Yorkshire city, NOT the Kent castle
Bath
Bristol
Keynsham
Basingstoke
Caernarfon
Newbury
Salisbury and Stonehenge
Southampton
Aylesbury
Reading
Woking
Taunton
Birmingham
Narborough
Leicester is where I live now

Amuse yourself:

Bloons

Who I'd like to meet:

I'm being deliberately vague here, keeping all options open. If you are genuinely interested in me, based on what you've seen on the internet or in real life, then I'm interested in you, but please let me know why you are interested; this is particularly important if your own profile page doesn't say much. It's difficult for me to respond if I don't know where to start. If you just want to exchange e-mails, that's fine. If you'd like to meet me and if it is practical to do so, we can maybe arrange that.

My friends on Myspace:

To make it easy for you to find the friends of most interest to you (and to make things easy for me as well), I've set up various categories of friends. Unfortunately, due to a glitch in MySpace's software that has since been corrected, these categories are not up to date. I have to update the backlog and this will take time. As my total number of friends grows, some categories will be divided up, but here's the categories as they are now :-

Female country singers
Male country singers
Pop and rock singers
Jazz singers
Bluegrass singers
Classical crossover singers
Folk singers
Regular people

NEW MUSIC, HERE & NOW!!! Just wanted to let you know I've been hard at work in the studio for my long overdue sophomore album, and have just posted a new track for you to preview. The song is called "SLOW ME DOWN" and it's a demo that I did at home, co-written by the very talented Johnny Reid! I am so excited about the new album that I just couldn't wait to share SOMETHING with everybody, so I hope you enjoy this little "sneak peak"!! I look forward to hearing from you about the track, and encourage you to check out the new pictures I've put up. Hope you are having a great week! Cyndi

Hey Peter! Thanks so much for the beautiful review on Amazon. You write such thoughtful, in-depth reviews. I don't know many people who take the time and care that you do.
We are good here. Got rid of the web-site because it became too much of a hassle to keep up. Love Myspace Music, though!
Take good care.
