About Me

Well hi there. My name's Richard. I live in England.You can probably just ignore the pic- I don't usually look anything like that good.I'm heading into my mid-twenties.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone worth talking to.

Substandard pics

I blame the cameraman (Cissie) for the quality of these pics of me leading on a 6a a week or so ago. To be fair I am a way up and I'm moving, but even so. le sigh. We'll try again another time.
