About Me

well i was born in edinburgh, scotland; and so very proud of it. unfortunately i live elsewhere now, but venture up now and then to rekindle my roots. left scotland around 17 and went to seek my fame and fortune, still looking. worked in london for awhile, then hitch hiked round europe, then ventured over to australia for two year long working holidays. made the mistake of picking hong kong, instead of bali . . . gutted over that one i can tell ya. blew my money in 3 glorious weeks in hong kong, could have lived like a king for a year or more if went to bali. anyway, back to london and home then london. just about to go round the kabutz, wham . . i met her . . . the wife. settled down, she threw out my rucksack, stuck the canonball on my foot; and domesticated the balls out of me. here i am, years and years later, married with 2 kids in a shitty job . . . that's life.

My Interests

i like to play golf and a few beers afterwards. i also play poker with my pals on a monday night, and a wee flutter on the online sites.i like to write poetry, heres a taster . . .Scotlandoch, tae walk again, through the winding hills; wae the heather at ma feet. jus tae wander roond the glens n lochs, or tae climb auld arthurs seat. tae lose maself in the heady scent, o the heather swaying bright. tae climb the wondrous mountains high, n gaze doon at that awesome sight. of ma home toons lights a twinkling, like stars in a sea o brine. am hame now wat a feeling, godbless this country o mine. a country thats a part o me, a place thats proud n grand. so full o myths n legends, tis ma bonnie wee scotland.
