I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

Well, a few words about me I guess ! I'm 32 years old, born and bred in Leeds. I work in IT Support, and my main loves are : music (alternative, indie and rock) home cinema (I love my DVDs !) football (long suffering Leeds United supporter) books (pretty much anything) pubs (again, pretty much anything !) I can also be found managing a couple of online football teams on the Xpert Eleven website, ranting about Leeds United on leedsunitedfanclub.com, and chatting about all thing Audio Visual related on AV Forums. I also take a healthy (although not obsessive) interest in conspiracy theories, my favourites being 9/11, The Oklahoma Bombing, and Kurt Cobain's "suicide". See the banner below for an interesting take on 9/11........

My Interests

I hope one day that Richey makes it into the other list though....)
