Hoofing is a concern with Boothers, also he comes across a bit David Brent with some of
the stuff he comes out with. For example in the Grauniad article linked from Balders column.
"I was a total waste of time at school," he says. "One O-level, one of those idiots who thought he'd play at Wembley, play for England, big house, big car, never work again. Those things don't interest me now. Learning interests me now. Openness.
"One of my favourite films of all time is The Matrix - have you seen it? Most people watch it because of the karate or whatever and they don't get what it's about. The big thing I got out of it was, here's a world which everyone believes to be real but actually it's not. It's how you perceive it; you can do whatever you want to do.
"Now, I don't think I can learn tae kwon do in three seconds and you can take or leave the film but the concept is there: if you believe it, you can do it; if you can't see it, you can't do it. Some people say seeing is believing. To me believing is seeing. I don't need the evidence, the majority of people need the evidence. I don't, I know I can do it. I don't know if you call that arrogance or confidence, it's me. I'm different, I know I'm different."
