About Me

I'm from West Bromwich, Black Country born & bred, I'm a yam-yam & fiercly proud of it! I'm 34 & I've been happily (most of the time) married to Martin for 14 years. He drives me mad & does my head in sometimes but I love him more than anything. He is my husband, lover, best friend & the person that makes sure I get home safely after a night on the lash (if you've been out drinking with us you'll know what a vital role that is!) & after 16 years together he still makes me laugh. I read somewhere once "don't marry the person you can live with, marry the person you can't live without" for me that's Martin. Real ale is one of my favourite things. When I'm in West Brom I'm usually in The Wheatsheaf or The Old Crown, both do good guest beers but I've also been known to frequent The Port N Ale in Great Bridge & The Old White Rose in Bilston - 12, yes 12! guest beers on tap. I can go there & get lashed & not have the same beer twice, fab! I love music, I can put up with almost anything apart from that rap/hip-hop crap but my music of choice is punk. I spend a lot of time in Brum, The Academy have some good gigs on & The Market Tavern is always a good bet for a bit of live punk. I've seen a lot of bands there I already liked but have also turned up on the off-chance & found some really good bands I've never seen before. When I'm not there listening to music I'm usually in Scruffy Murphys or Costers spending time with like-minded fellows. Reading this back it seems a bit sad that all my life consists of is my husband, beer & punk, is that all I do? Oh, I almost forgot to mention my wonderful nephew & neice, Morgan & Felicity, who are both just brilliant. I had the honour of actually seeing my neice being born it was the most amazing, emotional thing I have ever witnessed (apart from the Baggies pulling of the great escape, but don't tell my sister that!) That's all I can think of at the mo but if anything else comes to me I'll add it as & when. I've just had another thought, as if this isn't long enough already (Steve!), I absolutely love Cornwall. It's my favourite place ever. You can keep your exotic holidays in far flung places, give me 2 weeks in Perranporth any day.
