Ten Things I've Done That Others Might Not Have:
1. Stood by C.S.Lewis'grave
2. Dined at Balliol College (Oxford)'s High Table.
3. Been to a number of Hindu temples in Madras and Bangalore, including a spectacular one wholly filled with a huge statue of a black bull.
4. Translated major verse (some of the eleventh yoga of the BhagavadGita, some verses by Taliesin, and the Ode to Aphrodite and other verses by Sappho of Lesbos) from not one, but three languages which I do not know - Sanskrit, Old Welsh and early Classical Greek.
5. Translated a whole interview from Danish without knowing (at the start) a word of Danish.
6. Briefly corresponded with one of the twentieth century's greatest historians - Georges Dumezil - when I had not even started university.
7. Written out some questions for the last interview that Jack Kirby, the greatest comic-book maker of all time, ever gave.
8. Written a 500,000-word study of Dark Age British history (407-597AD) in which I believe I have demonstrated, among other things, the historical existence of King Arthur.
9. Published several comic books.
10. Visited the village of Pratica di Mare, the site of ancient Lavinium, the holy city founded, according to legend, by Aeneas and his bride Lavinia, and from which the Roman nation was said to be born.
