About the Author (Author Profile)
The best travel experience I’ve ever had was in Laos, Southeast Asia. We’d arrived in the north of the country via a cockroach-infested slow boat on the Mekong River, and decided to head east instead of following most other travellers down the neck of the country. Our journey took us to a small village called Nong Khiaw, a place of staggering beauty and absolute peace, where we stayed for two nights in a bamboo hut that cost about £2 a night; the price included a free cockerel wake-up call. If off-the-beaten-track exists, this is the closest I’ve ever been to it. The travel experience I’d most like to have is completing some kind of impossible journey, probably involving a motorbike and a gigantic hostile expanse like Siberia, or a small boat and the even bigger expanse of the Pacific Ocean. It’ll probably never happen, principally because I can’t ride a motorbike and I can’t captain a boat, but it’d be a great experience nonetheless. Failing this, I’d like to give India a second chance, as I failed to fall in love with it the first time, and I’m desperate to set foot upon African soil for the first time.Subscribe

Thumbs up Norman or maybe just a finger !
Brilliant idea! Norman can now become a comic book hero in his own right and have people dress up as him at these comic conventions! So glad he has provided you with such inspiration! May I ask why he doesn’t have his own profile under the blogging team? He does appear to be doing all the work after all!
A very good point! The problem is that Norman’s like a cat: he lacks opposable thumbs. This makes it very difficult for him to do… well, just about anything, apart from looking dashing in front of a camera. Nevertheless, I suppose he could dictate his astonishing bio to one of us, and we could create a profile. I’ll put it in the pipeline!
Well he seems to have managed to enlist someone’s help to create a Twitter account. Maybe he just doesn’t like to talk about his past.
I LOVE THIS….Great format and Norman looks thrilled. Next stop, Comi-Con?
Thanks, Anna! Norman’s very interested in the Comi-Con, whatever that may be; he wants to know if you’ll take him there.
Brilliant! Norman…what a ledge.
Norman has just told me he’d like to thank you for being the original crafter of his magnificent cape.
Ha! Fantastic stuff!
Thanks, man! Glad you like it
