About Me

Buttonman
I'm 54 and an avid movie watcher. I set myself occasional challenges and complete these with a determination bordering on mania. My last challenge to watch all the films on the IMDb250 list was completed in under a year as was my quest to read all 57 Ed McBain 87th Precinct books. I am married, have a cat named Woody and enjoy the odd pint or five.My latest quest involves the climbing of all Scotland's 282 Munros - only 232 to go!I also enjoy watching and appearing on TV game shows. I won 'Weakest Link' in 2008 and was runner up in Season 4 of 15-1. I appeared in 4 episodes of !mpossibe in 2018 and won £800 - Damn Marylebone!
