About Me

I enjoy doing the G2 crossword over a cup of tea. Incidentally, one of my favourite sounds is tea being poured from a tea pot. That and the sound of a tattoo gun. I have itchy feet and like to run away to places, so far this has included much of Europe, Canada, the USA and Japan. I'm currently pulling pints and making coffee to pay the bills. Oh and I also like tattoos. Lots of them, on me and on others. I'm in the process of collecting from my favourite artists. Most of all though, I like good conversation with nice people and a nice piece of cake.

My Interests

art, music, good tattoos (Uncle Allan, Shige Iwasaki, Jo Harrison, Rei & Hata) good beer, good books, good films, good times, travel, bread and pastry products, nature and being outside, exploring new places, body modification, charity shopping, fashion, shoes, Roland Barthes, Pablo Naruda, Robert Frost, Chris Cunningham, vegetarian cooking, vegan cakes, documentaries, Monty Python, generally having a reet good time

I'd like to meet:

for your reading pleasure

I recommend the following book if you can get your grubby little mitts on it - Lucy Lippard "Get the Message: A Decade of Art for Social Change" Its good washed down with a bottle of beer as well.
