I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a reasonably average guy, but then I would say that, I suppose, since I'm my own point of reference. I like to think that I've a wide range of interests, and also that I'm clever, and funny. Also, it's hard for me to write "clever" and "funny" without qualifying them with a "quite", or something, but never mind. I'm living in Manchester now, working for a big evil corporation, which is a good life.

My Interests

Football (as in soccer), SCUBA Diving, communal living, student radio, comedy, theatre, toys and games, friends, relationships, reading, magic, philosophy, mathematics, the internet, stuff and things.
