About Me


Right then. It's probably fair to say that the thing I'm most interested in is music. I play guitar in a popular beat combo called The Yell, and we're planning to record and release an album at some point in the future (hopefully before the end of time). I can also sometimes be seen playing my trumpet with something called The Barnacles (don't ask).
That aside... and until someone pays me for pretending to be a musician, I have a job as a Structural Engineer. I work in Doncaster (aka 'a shithole'), and spend the majority of my time in the company of fat women and middle aged men who make jokes about the structural integrity of Jammy Dodgers. I also have an irrational hatred of the woman who provides the 'at seat trolly service of light refreshments' on the Trans-Pennine Express. What a bitch.
If for whatever reason you feel inclined to leave a comment then please make a nominal effort to include at least a bit of grammar/punctuation. And don't use things like lol or lmao cause I don't know what they mean.
