There is a considerable amount of other self-censorship on these pages &#8211; if you want to hear about some of what I withhold, you will have to speak to me in person over a meal or a drink!  I am trying to record here the interesting opportunities and extensive repertoire I experience, and leave out the repetitive or dull bits, without wanting to sound like an agent.<\/p>\n<p>N.B.
