About Me
Born in Guildford many centuries ago on a cold wet Bonfire Night when “Get off my Cloud†was number 1 and the Rolling Stones were still young and wrinkleless. Moved and Schooled in the “Land of someone else’s father/Land of the Unpronounceable" (Wales) before finally seeing sense and returning to England and leafy Surrey where I now live in my own slightly scuffy and in need of TLC but cosy little castle (ok actually a small cottage but as they say “ an Englishman’s home is his castle, what, what!"). In between being born and now, went to college in Carmarthen and Plymouth to study Photography and film, flown a plane,"EEEK" for those on the ground, I'm sure my ex was trying to do away with me somehow when she arranged, lol,,,Driven a race car(again arranged by my ex,,ummmm, a pattern, haha) seen the space shuttle take off “WOWâ€, been told to F**K OFF by the Popes personal guards at the Vatican (camera high speed-motor-winders can be fun, even with no film lol), been tear gassed, shot-over and baton-charged by mounted soldiers on the West Bank, Watched the Eurovision song contest in a Palestinian refugee camp (Surreal), Done Disney 3 times (and been done at the same time, , ,chingching!!,,but great all the same)
Been a crash test dummy, ridden horses, played golf, tennis, badminton, pool, bowls, cricket, football, darts, snooker and rugby (not at the same time and of very,very varying standards).Have made my fingers bleed on a guitar, danced (badly)a thousand nights away and forgotten almost as many ( hic,hic). Drank copious amounts of alcohol, coffee, ribena and smoked enough to classed as a Malboro Man albeit a light one
I have been a “Young Conservative†ooo,,the euphoria of early Thatcherism,,(hahahahaha,,sorry need to pick myself up off the floor, I was young and Labour were dire ,,ummmm ??,seems familiar apart from the young bit,lol),
Watched in awe “Star Wars†first time round in '77 as an 11yr old , THERE HAD BEEN NOTHING LIKE THIS!!!!,,,,
Supported, cheered and agonised over my beloved Liverpool
I’ve had my heart broke a few time and have actually left the country for being so distraught(yeah, yeah so I ran away,,, what a girl..lol),,,,, only to return shorlty after cause the guy I went out with was dying which was very inconsiderate of him...I will give most foods and drinks a go, and could quite easily spend a night eating a mix of Chinese, Indian , Italian, Greek, French, whatever etc whilst drinking beer, cider, vodka , gin, wine and again, whatever etc
Into cycling at the mo, gets me away and allows me to escape from all and everything,and allows me space to listen to music on m'pod (this is apparently a no-no (yeah right) and is quite dangerous, so i've been told,,,lol).....have thus far this year done just over 2000 miles on and preferably off road (MUD!!). Only had a couple minor mishaps (this is surprise to me as my middle name should be “Clumsyâ€) , one of which saw me hitting a badger and subsequently being chased by said little fooker snapping at m'heels,,now stuffed and hanging on my wall..LOL... Have had two predominant periods of music likes and loves,,,my "Rock" days with the denim, the leather, the hair and the air guitars and then in my late twenties discovering "dance music and electronica" at a "Shamen" gig in Reading '93ish and have been dancing (very badly) to that beat ever since. I will probably never grow-up, love sarcasm, satire, mischief and niceness.Don't do soaps or reality tv...anyways blah blah,blah thats enough waffle,, I’ll fill in more the gaps when I can be arsed :)
for now
Bye Markeeeee
