About Me

I find it very difficult to take any claims seriously from a government that first unilaterally withdraws from treaties, agreements and organizations which it finds "unfair", and then, in the next breath, invokes an agreement from 1792 to claim sovereignty over a territory it has just conquered by threat of force. - Niohe, on China.
It was a ridiculous question, harrumphed Jeremy Paxman when asked whether television was a man's world. "The worst thing you can be in this industry is a middle-class white male," said the middle-class white male who is paid £1m a year by the BBC.

My Interests

Music, perhaps?

I'd like to meet:


I DON'T want to meet people who fall into any of these areas:

(1) You resent, dislike or hate the British for whatever reason your pitiful brain cell holds. I refuse to be tarred with your stained brush. While I agree with the need for freedom, I don't agree with needless wars and I certainly don't agree with killing innocent civilians - with reasons hidden within religion, oil, "liberation" or whatever.

(2) You consider yourself better than (almost) anyone else because of personal and national incidents - with or without even knowing me. We were born equal, we die equal. You want to be on top? Remember, it's lonely up there. You are entitled to your opinion but I am entitled to disagree and that does not make you better than me, it does not give you an excuse to insult or flame me for my opinions and it most definitely does NOT give you any right to force YOUR opinions or dramas on me either!

(3) You cannot see the common traits in all human beings, no matter what sex, race, colour or religion they are. There is also a fine line between an innocent joke and a deliberate attack. Learn the difference.

(4) SEND A MESSAGE ALONG WITH YOUR FRIEND REQUEST OTHERWISE I'M 99% LIKELY TO IGNORE YOU AND I WON'T GIVE A TOSS!!!

(5) I try to be polite wherever possible but things beyond my control, like lack of sleep or health issues, may make me cranky. You accept this when you add me, it is NON-negotiable. I am only human, after all.

(6) If you are after some fun while your other half is away, or you are adding and leaning on me because your friends are (like some stupid jealousy issue), you just need to boost that friends list total, or you haven't looked past my long hair... GET THE FUCK OFF MY PAGE! Those who do any of the above will not only get deleted but blocked too and (where time permits) I will seek to remove all traces of you from my life, including the deletion of notes and comments from your page.

So... If you can neutralise venom, add me! If you can handle mood swings, add me! If you can handle the fact that music is in my veins and will take precedence over all, add me! If you spent more than a minute reading this page, add me! Otherwise just add that weird person you glanced at anyways... And send a bloody message!
