About Me

I'm the bassist out of Rapid Fiction... ...but I'm a perfectly adequate human being in my own right too. Stop laughing, it's true.

I find religion exceptionally questionable, I'm a vegetarian and environmentalist, I think logic, reason, humour, self scrutiny and empathy are extremely important traits and my mum thinks I'm "too nice". And, on a lighter note, I'm "a rodent with the needs of a rodent", I think the right kind of uniform is downright sexy and I like the sauce.

My Interests

Music making, lyric writing, photography, design, environmental work, alt clubs, German/Czech beer, furry animals (hell, pretty much all creatures), Games: COD/MOH, the Vampire the Masquerade games

I'd like to meet:

Vegetarians, animal lovers, environmentalists, furry animals, goth/industrial/metal/electro/electronic/indie lovers, atheists/agnostics/, thinkers,....people with something interesting to say, people up to fun stuff involving any of the above elements in London.

Wurde auch gern Deutsche in London kennenlernen, da ich heutzutage keine Gelegenheit hab, Deutsch zu reden!

However, these are my buttons: monotheism, superstition, crap mags like Heat/Hello! etc, chart music, hunting, fishing, shooting. If those apply to you, then then we're better off on separate planets orbiting different suns.

QUICK! Watch the new Pristine 18 video! Zombies! Guns! Knives! Heart removal! ODs! Electrocution! Erm, Paper aeroplanes!!

Shooting: pastime of the inadequate

So an array of morons were out today, having their festive shoot. Part of this was about 10 metres from where I was washing the car and the shotgun pellets were hitting nearby trees, power lines, the ...

I'm The Man, or, astrology is spot on.

Until yesterday, I was inclined to view astrology as rather silly, but since a colleague did our "Cosmic Star Reports" at work, I am completely won over. And I quote: "You are a wonderful lover, very ...

"Humans come first", or "I'm not actually resolving anything myself"

Some people have suggested to me recently that we can't concern ourselves with the environment or the plight of other species because human problems are much more important and they should be dealt wi...

Unenlightenment - vegblog series

Following what I considered to be a rather unenlightened presentation of views on animal cruelty by an in-duh-vidual the other day, it appears that there are a number of clichés which are hardwired in...

"Vegetarianism is stupid" Part 1 - Global issues

I don't personally have a problem with some meat consumption among humans. I also happen to like meat, which is a bit of a pisser for a vegetarian.However, many meat eaters have extremely patronizing ...

Silly story about a hangover. Crap jokes ahoy!

I woke up with a hangover this morning. The kind of hot and clammy one that means last night's dinner bought a return ticket, and makes you feel like you've been welded into an overflowing portaloo on...

Make me Human-nip

It's Monday: there are severe delays on the Northern Line, and on the neural circuitry in my brain. This is thanks to the miracle of booze, lack of sleep and, as Stewie Griffin would say, a sexy party...

Summer is a bummer

This may be a minority view, but thank fuck summer is over. Overheated commute misery is over for a few months. The crisp chill of winter brings its refreshing touch, like cold beer down the throat of...

The immutable laws of clothing, or, fashion is irrelevant

In the words of Peter Griffin: "You know what really grinds my gears?" Today, its fashion. Fashion is a bogus concept. What one can wear, or rather, what one looks good wearing, is dictated by the phy...
