About Me

"Everybody says that New Zealand's beautiful and nobody really knows because after 19 hours on a plane, any land mass is beautiful. We could have landed on a tiny iceberg, and there could have been two penguins boinking each other; I'd'a been happy to see them, and I would have performed." - Lewis Black

If you're keen to add me, then send me a message first, or I won't add you. Period.

Just so I know you're not some Hungarian tart pimping me for a green card.

My Interests

Outdoor stuff...and indoor stuff too!

I'd like to meet:

A very loud and crass Essex girl, or just anyone who can put up with me really.

Music:

Movies:

Frankenhooker

Television:

Extras is good for a belly laugh.

Books:

Ones with pictures are a bit distracting to be honest.

Facial Hair

You know you've seen it, but you never really want to admit it. What is it with guys and facial hair? Personally, I always get on it once a year, but for a week or two I just lose the motivation for ...
