About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Right so, a little bit about me then. I have just recently turned 30 years old,(YIKES). No fear though, the slippers and pipe era is a long way off. I love going to gigs so i try to make it up to the big smoke as much as i can as that's the only place to see the latest acts. I used to live there for about seven years until the scum element interceded and robbed and burned out my car, happy slapped a housemate walking home from pub, broke into my house and robbed me blind, robbed my second car in two months and vandalised a third. Anyhoo, i hold no grudges, these things happen for a reason. So i moved back to Portlaoise 3 years ago and now i miss the city life and want to go back. Maybe I'll bus it this timeaca
