It would be highly immodest of list-keeping obsessive-compulsive snot-nosed wheat-intolerant seedy little gay Nazi Oliver Pool to write a profile of himself. A great fan of quotations, Oliver’s favourite is “It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am” which, I believe, was said by Garfield the Cat. Oliver likes cats, good manners, and PG Wodehouse. He has never won the Turner prize in nearly 60 outings, which tells its own story.

Pool is an out-and-out left winger.
