Rock.

About Me

Born in '78, and still rockin' it out.

My Interests

The house; the twelve-string; the bed; the shower; the bike; the girls; the wine; the music & the jetpack.

I'd like to meet:

Those who rock. Those who rawk. But not those who reek.

.. in reality, it boils down to a few key ingredients - some piano, good lyrics and a bit of guitar - and I'm a happy man.

Movies:

Groundhog Day; Field of Dreams; Superman: The Movie; Good Will Hunting; Superman Returns; Little Miss Sunshine; As Good as it Gets; High Fidelity & Etre et Avoir.

Television:

Anything Superman-related; Scrubs; ER; My Name is Earl; Stwffio; Ivor the Engine; The Loop; Tintin - I like my animation inspired by art-deco (but then I'm not averse to some Family Guy either!), and of course, the forthcoming Peirianhygoel.

Books:

Thinkers - Fast Food Nation; The Tipping Point and anything by Bill Bryson... but I'll read mostly anything, truth be told.

Heroes:

The entire current crop and back-catalogue of Pontypridd Rugby players, management and supporters. And Tom Jones.
