About Me

OK dum deee dum about meeeeee, I live in Cork but am originally from Glasgae but lost the accent ages ago when I moved to West Cork and then got the West Cork accent beaten out of me in a North London Primary School. Kids eh, you gotta love em. Moved back to Cork as soon as I'd served my time in school & college the former being hell and the latter being fairly pleasant.Was made an honorary corkonian 5 years ago in a ceremony which consisted of sitting in the Oval for 3 weeks, being force fed Murphy's and made to repeat "cork is an anagram of rock". I've since lost the Murphy's habit but I've never been the same since.I enjoy reading, walking, writing poetry and knitting jumpers. And if you believe that then you dont know me.Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!
