Also like games that test my intellect slightly, or cards (e.g. poker, blackjack, rummy and best of all, s***head!), and sports like cricket and football, oh and pool I rule at that, I am like the double king.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can put up with me......... in terms of meeting famous people erm would say Dav Ford from Easyworld but already have done woohoo! Erm also Thom Yorke so I can punch him for the pyramid song (and I'm a pacifist!). I'd then thank him for creep :)
