About Me

I'm not really 1cm tall but as a child of the 80's I refuse to acknowledge metric measurements.For the Viz fans among us I'm the noughties equivalent of Mrs Brady Old Lady and feel there's something much more comforting about pounds, feet and inches and let's not forget pints. Who wants to go into a pub and order a litre of lager? Mind you who wants to go into pubs these days? (well not in Newcastle anyway there all called things like Fluid are painted purple have brown leather furniture and charge £7.29 for a bottle of lukewarm alcopops plus by the time you leave your ears are bleeding from pounding R&B)I'm just waiting for the invention of the time machine so I can revist my youth, go to the riverside, drink a pint for £1.50 and flirt with all the boys in cardigans trying to be Morrissey - yes you lot stop cringing you know who you are. I like this site but I can't do all the jazzy bits yet like changing background colours and playing lovely songs for you when you visit me, but just imagine I'm not technically inept and it's all bright and colourful with exciting adverts to read promising you a laptop for nowt and maybe a bit of the Sea Urchins singing mournfully in the background. There that's better isn't it? I might do one of them blog thingy's if you want me to

the t.s. eliot of killingworth
