About Me

Not really much to say. In a former incarnation I was one of the DJs at Hysteria, though that bar no longer exists. I've DJed at a few bars over the years. They no longer exist either.Everyone should work in a bar at least once.

For a living I watch people go to jail.

I did the university thing for a number of years, now I have a bit of paper, a debt, and a cat called Zig.

Favourite hobby, sport, drink, and food? Whiskey.
