The Earl of Beverley

Down came the sky, and all you did was blink

About Me

Well hello, mes petits choux. Not quite sure what this myspace lark is all about but i'll try my damndest to give it a go. Most people know me as James, Beard (with accompanying chin stroke), the Earl of Beverley or by several other aliases but you can call me Sir. I can often be found at a certain establishment called Piper, mainly on a friday eve, dancing to the same songs, week in, week out. Alternatively, I may be at work complaining about one thing or another and generally feeling rather sorry for myself for not making use of my English degree. However, I do have possibly somewhat deluded aspirations to be a successful novelist so we shall see how that particular ambition pans out. Any questions? Good. Now if only someone could teach me how to use that blasted html everyone harps on about, I could really make this page into something special!

My Interests

Watching TV, listening to music, playing guitar, knowing a lot of random crap, dancing drunkenly, dancing soberly, making (mental) lists of famous people I'd like to poke in the eye, being facetious, annoying Becca, writing a book, moaning about work, being indecisive, singing (both songs and random sentences) all day long, drinking Tetley's, sleeping in, moaning a bit more

Well, if I could have a dinner party and invite any five guests throughout all of history, they would be (in no particular order) Jesus, Stephen Fry, Ryan Adams, CS Lewis and Sara Cox. A bizarre mix I am sure you will agree but one that may prove to be both entertaining and enlightening! Hurrah!
