Profile: Dave Hannah

Personal background
I was born in Lancashire, England and now live in Willowdale, Canada. I retired early from a career of doing as little as possible and devote myself to walking round the garden gazing uncomprehendingly at the stories unfolding around me. I content myself with refilling the birdfeeders and cleaning out the birdbaths. Occasionally I manage to grow a tomato plant and have had some success with Japanese Maple, clematis and even a mock orange. My life's ambition is to find a partner willing to be buried beside me with 'asleep with Jesus' inscribed on their headstone so mine can read 'sleeping with Mary'.

I have a web page devoted to the Lancashire dialect. It is called A Dictionary of the Language of Coronation Street. I haven't done very much with the page lately because the UK programme on which it is based has come a cropper and has taken on a new rude language of a society given over to crassness.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
A little lamb went out one day and leant against a pylon, 1000 volts went up its bum and turned its fleece to nylon.
