About

"Trapnel wanted, among other things, to be a writer, a dandy, a lover, a comrade, an eccentric, a sage, a virtuoso, a good chap, a man of honour, a hard case, a spendthrift, an opportunist, a raisonneur; to be very rich, to be very poor, to possess a thousand mistresses, to win the heart of one love to whom he was ever faithful, to be on the best of terms with all men, to avenge savagely the lightest affront."

Kenny Hodgart is a journalist and lives in Glasgow. He bears no resemblance whatsoever to Trapnel.

You may notice that the entries on my site which have been published elsewhere outnumber my "blogs". This is because, like most freelance people, I like to get paid. I also do a lot of work for newspapers that never makes it on here. Fair's fair, I think.
