About Me

Wotcha. I'm Tom or Billy or Brindle depending on who introduces me. I'm the singer and guitarist in a band called Men In Caves . You wanna listen? Click here - Men In Caves . I've got another myspace page with some of my demo songs on too so click here if you're interested - Tom from Men in Caves . I'm from Devon but have moved around enough not to get an accent. I wish I had a Scottish one though. For a day job I'm an archaeologist. Some people think that archaeologists are geeks but I remind them that archaeology is actually just like Indiana Jones and that I spend my days fighting Nazis and people in sacrificial cults n all that. Because I'm an archaeologist I have a beard about 50 per cent of the time and a penchant for stripy jumpers. Luckily that can also work as a rock n roll look too so the two jobs aren't mutually exclusive. When I have a beard someone will say have you got a beard cos you do archaeology? and then I'll shave it off. Then when I haven't got a beard someone'll say you look about 14 so I grow it back. I definetely talk too much about facial hair. I got a great set of chums loike who I like to hang out with loike. I tend to fancy petit French girls and like French stuff a lot. My mate Ross says I go for weird looking women, but Audrey Tautou weird? No, I tell you, just hot. MyGen Profile Generator
