About Me


My real name isnt Daddycool! LOL no that would be foolish, nope real names Dave Spence. Daddycool is my Xbox Live and games forum name.
When i finished work and get a bit time to myself i spend a bit of time on the intyweb and on 360 Xbox Live with the good blokes from Nowloading and the GamesTM forum.
Been playing videogames since i was a nipper so im a bit of a geek ( a cool geek though!! ) have loads of retro consoles and gaming related junk all over the house. I have a very understanding wife (Bless her)I do sports as well... i know Bowling isn't exactly gonna get me into the peek of physical fitness, but its something!
Fave sport is Motor racing (British Touring Cars) every year a bunch of us throw the tents in the back of the car and head off to our local race circut which is Croft near Darlington (and its an excuse to drink lots of Beer!)
Heres me at the circut posing with another spec'tater' (see what i did there?)
Most of the piccys from my slideshow below were taken at Blackpool, where me and the blokes from www.nowloading.co.uk got together for a mammoth Arcade/pub crawl.

The video below is us in the hotel room living our rock n roll lifestyles (ahem!)
..
Apart from the drinking there was another reason for the pilgrimage to Blackpool... Videogames!! Heres us playing Daytona USA... ROLLING STAAAART!! More Blackpool videos can be found on my MSN space...... http://daddycool75.spaces.live.com/.

Well NowLoading 2007 meet has been and gone, and we had a great time. I even performed my infamous Superman down the hotel stairs.
I wrote to Jimmy Saville when i was a nipper.... wanted to meet Dennis the Menace from the Beano, did he fix it? did he bollocks! ..
Huzzah for Myspace personality tests!!!
You Are 67% Strange! Based on your score, it seems you do have a healthy dose of strangeness. You aren't THAT far out, but you are somewhat bizarre. Congratulations on being different and having some quirks. It makes you an interesting person!
How Strange Are You?


Take the quiz:
Which Horror Movie Are You?

The Silence Of The Lambs
You're a thinker, a creator, and a very psychological person. You enjoy learning about other people, whether it is to befriend them, or to destory them. You take pride in being you, although you sometimes can get fed up with even yourself. You're an extremely intelligent person, but don't let your mind get the best of you. You're smarter than you think.
Actually those results are a bit spooky! They do sum me up, apart from the destroying people bit.... i wouldnt do that!!
Hmm below seems to be links to the sites i used for the pimpage of this page? Ah well what the hell.. it looks pretty so i guess they are deserving of the plugs
