Banbers

I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

About Me

Graduated from Bristol, worked for a whole year and am now taking a well-earned rest. Presently I sit at home watching television in my pants. Not entirely convinced by MySpace, not helped by the fact that I only have two friends on here - Pops (who got me into this damned thing) and, depressingly, a chap called Tom who I have never met. I am pogonophobic.

My Interests

Writing, photography, not working, skiing, cricket, painting, watching films, music, shooting, travel, reading, eating, and other banalities.
