About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Skeleton rider


.. left40yo male plays guitar (electric, rock and ballads), fiddle (Irish), Irish whistle, harmonica. Work in IT and also in supporting people.. Love to travel, mainly across Europe - Germany, Netherlands,Belgium,france, Luxembourg, Austria, etc. I am a fully licensed radio amateur - see my website: http://www.m0cvo.tk. I am also single - have been for years whilst travelling around but have now settled down and bought a place in Norwich to live in.
I am now happily married to Debbie - we were married on January 22nd 2008. This makes me one of the happiest men on planet earth. If you wish to come on here to flirt please go elsewhere to do it as I am not interested. I am on here for the few good friends I have already and purely for networking. my website
I ride a motorcycle the 15 miles to work every day. I currently work as a project worker/manager for St Matthews Housing, managing three properties - one hostel, one group home and one block of self contained flats. These are provided for vulnerable adults and my job role does include preparing and cooking a meal for the residents of the hostel. It is a very varied and interesting role requiring a very professional attitude.
I did live in Germany for a while - I lived in the city of Luebeck. This is north of Hamburg by about 40Km in Schleswig Holstein and is one of the (few remaining) Hanse Stadts. The city is built on an island surrounded by the Wakenitz and the Obertrave, two rivers that converge to form the Trave. This river then runs out to the Baltic (Ostsee) Sea at Travemunde. A beautiful, historic city with many churches and the Luebecker Dom (cathedral). This was the first Christian cathedral built in Northern Europe. The first stone was laid by Heinrich der Löwen in the 12th Century AD.
I now live in Norwich, UK. Also an historic city with two cathedrals and a castle amongst other attractions.
Take care and KEEP ON ROCKING!

Movies:

Monty Python Films are fun but I like too many others to list them all.

Television:

Don't have much time for telly

Books:

Anything by Terry Pratchett, Terry Brooks, Dean Koontz, James Herbert, Stephen King is good enough for me when I wish to read fantasy but better still is any book from he Pern series by Anne McCaffrey (and now also by Todd McCaffrey). Otherwise I'm afraid I'm a bit of a literature junkie and like classic stuff from Shakespeare, Thomas Mann or Grass.

Heroes:
