About Me

What do you want to know?

Sarcasm is the greatest form of humour. Cynicism is more my style. I try to be a nice guy - I like most people. I get annoyed easily but am usually good at not showing it. Bad grammar, spelling and 'txt spk' annoy me. Why do people have to say 'probably', 'fully' and 'proper' all the time? I like politeness and try to be to polite to anyone and everyone. Impolite or patronising people don't go down well (although I'm patronising myself - isn't it ironic, don't you think). I am funny. If you disagree then you're missing out, oh yes. I have been successfully self employed for nearly 5 years. I like it when it's sunny but not hot. I don't like being uncomfortably warm. I don't mind being cold. I don't usually get up before 12 and I like staying up late knowing I haven't got to get up early. I get very negative easily but I'm quite easy to cheer up. I don't believe in any religious figures or ideas. I don't drink hot drinks (except the occasional fancy hot chocolate). I drink a lot of water. I don't usually drink alcohol. I have never smoked or done drugs and don't intend to. I like to have fun being clean and in control. Nando's is the best food to grace this planet. Do not disagree. I have lost three stone in less than a year, three or four to go. You'll have to forgive me for being obsessive and preaching about the music i love - my music collection is extensive and varied.
Currently listening to: Lisa Gerrard, Porcupine Tree, Elend, Justin Timberlake, Canaan, Kraftwerk, Imogen Heap, Shape Of Despair
Bowling personal best: 140 yeah! I'm rubbish but I like it
Music nerdness from The Music Nerd Test : 49.03382% - Super Music Nerd
Fuali.com tells me I am 25% emo, 54% metal, 23% geek and 6% goth. That makes me 108% man, awesome.


I play in a band, Season's End - Hampshire-based female-fronted melodic metal. Our debut album was released nationwide (check your local HMVs and online ahem !) in 2005 and it's doing pretty well so far. We're writing & demo-ing for the second album these days. World domination awaits in 2008... We have a myspace page with the jukebox thing built in and our official website is www.seasons-end.com .

I DJ & co-run Quarantine [ www.myspace.com/quarantineclub ] at The Tumbledown Dick in Farnborough. It's a weekly (Friday night) club playing rock, alternative, emo, metal. It's been pretty busy for the last year or two, we're hitting over 250 people almost every week now. We wouldn't claim it's the greatest club in the world but we certainly try to make the best out of what we have.
Since January 2007 I am also the booker, promoter and sound engineer for almost all of the Tumbledown's gigs. Busy times. There is a Live at The Tumbledown MySpace too.


I DJ a newer club called Reloaded [ MySpace profile ] at The Original Porthouse in Winchester. It's another weekly (Tuesday night) alternative rock club, a student night, so it only runs during Uni term-time. Going very well. If any of you local people want to give it a go let me know, I often have seats spare in my car.
