About Me

Grumpy old man.

I go to gigs in Bristol every now and then, mostly to see my myspace friends.

I have been known to wear hats.

My Interests

Interesting things.

I'd like to meet:


Enough about illegal wars...and Masaccio.

I have already met the best (there's a few of them listed below)...

Music:

One day I'll fill this in with all of my favourites.For now, though, mostly the Myspace friends to your right.

Movies:

Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot. Eraserhead.

Television:

Don't do TV much. Probably more hooked to the Internet.

Books:

Have you ever read Jack Vance?

Heroes:

Anyone that gets stuff done.
