skribe was born in the Year of the Lonely Monkey. He hasn't died yet. Since his birth he has been to school, university, Singapore, happily unmarried and several states of consciousness he'd rather not talk about. He got his big break in 1980 (at age 12) when he was the head-candle-lighter for Flapper's Super Heroes, a children's television show that has thankfully disappeared into the obscurity it deserved. It took him nearly 24 years to recover from the disappointment of the show's cancellation, but he eventually bounced back with a documentary on International Society of Krishna Consciousness - also known as the Hare Krishnas. Despite the show's complete lack of appeal or critical acclaim he soldiered on to make another documentary on secondhand stores called Op Shops Go Pro. When this show failed to even register in society's consciousness or the television guide he switched to writing, directing and producing short dramas with the help of a big, fat government grant. He has had sex more than once.
