About Me



I'm a happy natured, friendly, honest and late twenties geek, with a positive outlook on life and a strange sense of humour.
I love the music I’m in to. I like going to gigs, I listen to music every day, and I have a webzine for the bands I like the most.
I love cycling. Going out on my bikes and watching it on Eurosport!
I like the countryside and nature, especially cycling or walking in it.
I like using computers, although Apple Macs are still a mystery to me!
I’m a fan of video games – in fact I still own and play on my Mega Drive!
I like travelling, especially when I’m not driving as I can look at the views more!
I do like my Sci-Fi, although I’m not a big fan of technobabble.
