About Me

I love a party - I'm usually the last one standing - I hate to miss anything. Sociable, happy. Enthusiastic about most things, talented at very few. Clinging onto last gasps of youth with both hands and ten finger nails. I love going to gigs and singing karaoke at home with my mates, much to the delight of my neighbours. I hate liars, cruel people and bitchy girls.

My Interests

Music music music. Gigs and clubs. Cricket - c'mon England. Horse riding. All nighters and misbehaving. Festivals, beer gardens, long lazy weekends.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone.

Music:

Kings of Leon, Bloc Party, Gossip. Kasabian. Super Furry Animals. 80s and 90s alternative - Gaye Bykers on Acid, PWEI, Fugazi, Midway Still. Siouxsie and the Banshees. Violent Femmes, the Beat, the Specials, Stone Roses, Nick Cave, Mudhoney, the Pixies. Musicals (I'm sorry, I love Evita). Led Zep. Also love dancing to old school, drum n bass and some funky house.

Movies:

Coen Brothers - just seen No Country For Old Men and it's the dog's - and I love The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou and Fargo. Pedro Almodovar and anything with Gael Garcia Bernal in it. Evil Dead trilogy (I am a Bruce Campbell fan).

Feeling ratty.....

EURGGHH. I love my cats, but really, did they have to leave a dead rat in my bathroom? (which I stepped in in the middle of the night when I went down for a wazz). Gross....

Eurovision madness

We did it!!

We did it we did it we did it!  It may have taken 3 hours and ten minutes but we did it.  That's one thing to cross off the list.  Or so you would think.  I'm now planning how to g...

It's a (half) marathon, not a sprint....

All my sensible plans for a quiet night in were scuppered by Tina last night.  'Just a quiet drink down the Rolly' she said.  Pah! 3.15AM and Tina, Jamie and I stagger through the front door...
