About Me

Always looking on the bright side of life, forever cheerful no matter what cards are dealt in the hand of existence! Currently employed as Operations Co-ordinator for a local double glazing company,goodbye and good riddance to the hassles of trade related self employment. Married to Brenda (without doubt,the most gorgeous specimen of female ever created by the creator) spawn(so far) Martha (4) and Rowdy (2).We have 2 specimens of female felines going by the names of Doubros Firebird Stronginthearm (Doobie ,14) and Spook Jalopy Kat (Spook ,11).We have a large family of rats living in our compost bin, the cats are gradually whittling their numbers down(if that's possible)judging by the amount of deceased specimens we find lying about the garden! We also have a fine male specimen of GSD by the name of Buddy. I've been building a big extension on our house,added 6 rooms,done most of it myself, 3 years it's taken and it's nearly done. I need a rest. Haven't done any golf or boarding for a while, too busy being busy!!Absolutely Fishbone daft I am, lived and breathed the mighty 'Bone for nearly 2 decades now, best band on the planet without doubt!!Currently listening to The Bedlam In Goliath by The Mars Volta, and reading Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. Awesome, twicefold!!
