Got a few handsome dogs that enjoy destroying the interiors I've mentioned above...but they're allowed to enjoy themselves as they're characters.
Other than that,I'm your standard issue, festivals, live music, gym, bars, clubs, shopping, developing-interests-in-something-and-throwing-large-amounts
-of-time-and-money-at-it-before-realising-it's-boring...and erm restaurants kind of bloke.
Definately not into applying bodykits to rather unimpressive cars before racing them 'wid ma boyz' and then spending most of my Sunday morning waxing it whilst my loud stereo ejaculates below par music...bollocks to all that caper.
Happy to stay up all night, or have a quiet one with a decent film and some junk food and an assortment of animals.
Not got much family of my own left, so I love being part of any family function that one of my mates have got going on. Oh and we love throwing last minute fancy dress nights at the bar, an example being 'ScarFace night' see the pics bit...( rules are no more than £10 spent on the outfit, which is pretty evident in the pics...)
Oh and books, got to add that haven't you...
I'd like to meet:
...Right now, someone who's got a few spare minutes to make my profile look like it's worth visiting...Or Brian Blessed.Anyone who can keep me entertained with amusing facts or interesting stories...or vise versa. I enjoy meeting characters and people who enjoy stimulating ( or drunken ) chat in interesting ( or licensed ) places.
Preferably consistent people please, if you haven't got at least a semi-permanent identity and are fluidly changable, then it's better you run away like the liquid that pushes the pineapple chunks along the in the urinal...
Facts, figures, sexual conquests and unflattering stories of 'celebs' will always be well received though.
Music:
Beatles, Ian Brown, The Who, Stone Roses, Thin Lizzy, Oasis, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Depeche Mode, Paul Weller, Jam, Primal Scream, Stones, Style Council, The Smiths, The Wedding Present, Guns and Roses, Chilli Peppers, Chas and Dave ( obviously ), Al Wilson, Pogues, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Cockney Rejects, Buzzcocks, Specials, David Homes, The Cure, Richard Ashcroft, Unkle, The Verve, Ludwig Van, The Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Old club stuff...pretty varied and probably a thousand more that I've left out...Have a butchers' in your own list, it's probably the same as that...But I'll bet it doesn't have 'Haddaway' like mine does...
Movies:
Quadrophenia, Rocky, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead ( basically anything with Zombies and ending in 'Dead ), City of God, Withnail and I, High Fidelity, Breakfast Club, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The Outsiders, Grease, Platoon, Casino, ScarFace, Apocalypse Now, Jaws 1&2( obviously ), ClockWork Orange, The Business, RumbleFish, Layer Cake, Carlito's Way, Leon, Enter the Dragon, Killing Fields, This Year's Love, When We Were Kings, any of Shane Meadows' films...( A Room for Romeo Brass, Dead Mans' Shoes, 24/7, This is England ).... i'll get RSI if I try and type all of them.
Television:
Now I know this sounds like I'm trying to make the Midlands sound like it's too busy for TV but I really don't bother with it.
If I'm lucky, I'll catch a program about Wildlife or the Bigfoot or something but this usually happens around 9.40pm - and as the credits roll at 10.00pm, I'm prompted into saying, "...I wish I'd have caught all of that..." and I hate feeling that way.
So I just stick to re runs of comedies really - Mighty Boosh, Office, Vic and Bob, Fast Show, Strutter...all that kind of flash - but mostly I'll stick a film on to doze off to.This does however bring me onto Kids TV. I honestly believe this tepid torture was designed as punishment for adults who've done 'unspeakable things'. Whatever happened to class like The Lost Islands and the Childrens' Film Foundation productions like, Sammies Super T-Shirt and the Glitterball and other fried slices of gold as such?And why oh why is the Kids Channel on all day at the gym I go to???
Books:
Bill Bryson, Hunter S Thompson, John King, Roald Dahl.
Although I have to say 'The Dirt' by Motley Crue was an inspired read...along with George Best 'Blessed' and Bill Brysons 'A short History on Everything'.
Just finished The Rolling Stones in Quotes...and am currently reading something which I've forgotten the name of but was sent to me from someone off here - so there's a bit of a scam eh?
Heroes:
Oliver Reed, Keith Moon, Richard Pryor, Richard Harris, Richard Burton, George Best, Morrissey, Paul Weller, Peter O'Toole, Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Ernie Shavers, The Goonies, Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen, all of the Jaws cast, Robert De Niro, Roy Shaw, James Dean, Martin Sheen, Rolf Harris, Lowrey, Phil Daniels, Lenny McLean, Phil at the ramp, Pre-Op Si ( you Sillybollocks! ), Phil the nutter at work ( I will get pics of him one day ) and the old bloke who skips whilst he picks up rubbish at 8.00am and who never fails to put a smile on my face as I drive past him each and every morning...
