About Me

Hello. My name is Joe. I'm 19. I'm a Welshman. A very proud Welshman. I live in Dorset. I used to live in Cambridgeshire but my parents moved away. I'm also a little bit Irish. I'm studying Architecture in Leeds. I don't really want to be an architect though. Far too much hassle. I'm an acting 2nd Lieutenant in the TA. I drink way too much milk. Like gallons of the stuff. And tea. Love tea. None of this fancy coffee crap. Just tea. Also like vodka. Absolut is the best. Don't really know what I want to be. Love much x

My Interests

Love bikes. They can have engines. Or just pedals. They can be hardcore or softails. With the emo attitude or with the steroid roadies. Its the only thing I can do well. I like surfing too. I'm quite good at wiping out. I do it with style. I like just peddling the surfer look too. Not so good at that. I also like Rugby and Lacrosse. I'm not very good at either but practise makes perfect

I'd like to meet:

Nice People. People who I've never met. People who I lost contact with. People who don't follow the crowd. People who can give me a job.
