- Dominic Hilton, Editor, is a writer, humorist and inactivist
based in the UK and the US. His work has appeared in
newspapers and magazines around the world, sometimes
even in his own country.
- Amongst his many achievements, Dominic is most proud of
correctly guessing the ending of the Lifetime Original Movie
Sweet Dreams.

- Marc Sidwell, Editor, believes in beauty, liberal education,
Shakespeare, capitalism, science, democracy, the power of
human reason, Western civilisation, human exceptionalism in
general, the idiocy of most theoreticians (except himself) and
the impossibility of getting the barman to see you before he's
ready.
He is the founding leader of the Dangerous Party for Adults
(DPfA) and is currently writing books on religion and poverty,
liberal education and what to do while waiting for Jack Bauer
to win the War on Terror. He thinks there should be more
hours in the day/night. If you're buying, he wants a pint of
bitter.

- A S H Smyth, Editor, is a retired English teacher,
fundamentally flawed genius, and aspiring libertine/warrior-
poet. His skill at writing about himself in the third person was
honed through years of association with the Oxford
University Gilbert & Sullivan Society, but having discovered
that he was too narcissistic even for a career in music, he
opted to become a scribbler instead.
He is co-author of the newly published They'd None Of 'Em
Be Missed, and is also writing a book on the Mohammed
Cartoons.
Back when he was just plain Adam he taught Music and then
English in the colonies, and played 2nd Division rugby in Sri
Lanka... in recognition of neither of which achievements he
was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
A closet fan of Classicfm, Adam has translated four books of
the Iliad, and will do the other 20 when he has learned to
read Greek. Other hobbies include collecting ropey degrees
from prestigious faculties (Egyptology and Intelligence &
International Security, so far), asking publishers for free
books, and kidding himself that watching films constitutes
billable work.
Adam changed his name to A S H when he twigged it would
make the Google results look much more impressive.

- Ross Chater, Newsletter Editor. Following an unavailing
tenure at UCL's Institute of Archaeology, Ross qualified as a
sub-editor in 2003. A chartered journalist, he works for a
media firm in the City.
In his spare time Ross enjoys gardening, sleeping and
torturing himself for never attending Sandhurst; he hates
soap operas, celery and going on holiday.

- Hiran Balasuriya, Asia Bureau Chief, is a student of
Philosophy, a master of Love, Sage, and an avid solipsist. He
spends most of his time home alone with all the lights out in
the room with the fridge.
He needs help, preferably from an attractive woman. If you
are an attractive woman, please get in touch.
He is a political exile from his home country Sri Lanka, and
can only go back when his father allows it.
- Emma Answers, Agony Aunt, attended an all-girls boarding
school on the South Coast, at which she pierced her own
ears three times and practiced french kissing on her female
friends.
She studied English Literature at university, and briefly
worked as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator to fund her
addiction to Penguin Classics - a period of employment that
came to an end after she was discovered dancing on a table
at a ball with a half-empty bottle of brandy in her hand and
her wig askew. When she's not turning out purple prose for
a number of publications, she can be found in front of a
mirror.
