I am here for Friends

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Hot Graphics

I am a big fan of electronic music and have met many of the pioneers of electronic music - from Gary Numan and John Foxx, Midge Ure and TiK and ToK through to the current batch of artists Mechanical Caberet and MESH!Special mention to Kate Bush - the first musician to make me cry!I have lots of friends on line and they persuaded me to sign up to MYSPACE.I love wacky humour especialy Harry Hill!I've been quite ill on and off for the last 8 years and this has led me to spend a lot of time at home and so ratchetting up thousands of posts on certain Forums!I am also a big fan of old and New Doctor Who - my favourite Doctors being - in this order - Pat Troughton,Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee and David Tennant.The supernatural,ghosts,hauntings etc are also of great interest to me.I'm a big fan of everything done by Alfred Hitchcock - his films and TV programmes are fantastic!When I was younger (late 60's early 70's) I collected all the Aurora "Glow in the Dark" model kits! My Dad would get me one every couple of months and had all of the ones issued in the UK (big square boxes as opposed to the long narrow ones) - Phantom of the opera,Hunchback (Now called the Bellringer as a nod to the PC brigade)Frankenstein,Dracula, the Creature (the most difficult one for me to get hold of), the Witch, The forgotten prisoner,King Kong, Godzilla, Mr Hyde and the Wolfman! If only I still have them - I understand they are worth a few bob on ebay these days!!!Ghost stories and tales of the unexpected and bizarre make up a lot of my reading material. Also Murder and crime stories - especialy Jack the Ripper!First thing I did when I started work in London in 1980 was use my lunch times to visit the sites of all the ripper murders and have a pint in the Ten Bells Pub (Which is a lot smaller than I thought it would be - but gave a great insight into life in that area during late Victorian London!).I am a devout Athiest but have great respect for Ancient religious festivals and rituals! I also enjoy visiting Churches due to their architectural and social history! (And the graveyards too!!!).Art used to play a big part in my life until my hands started to cramp up with a number of ailments - a couple of operations will (I hope!!!!) sort that out - but will need to gain my confidence again!I have quite a few friends and family members in bands and I love watching them live when I can!I love the ODD,OBSCURE and the completely MAD entertainers - here are a few who I admire!KLAUS NOMIDEVOTHE NORMALTHE B52'STHE CRAMPSMY PALS YTDS AND "THE" NASH THE SLASH - I WAS AT THE FRONT AT THE PURPLE TURTLE CAMDEN!

Maggie Thatcher.Nelson Mandella.Nassa Hussain.Kate Bush.Graham Gooch.Karl Bartos.
