So then, about me personally. The obvious gameshow style intro - my name's David, I'm 21 years old and from Leicester!
I'm in a relationship with my girl Becki who I love loads and loads.
I love Becki, I love football. I love music, I love the radio. I love presenting on radio and I love DJing. All of these dreams have come true except for one - and that's being a resident DJ within a bar or club in the city! One day I hope it comes true though!
So on this part, if you ever want to ask me a question, feel free and I'll answer - mind you, pathetic questions go unanswered (coz I imagine someone will ask one)...
What is your full name?
First name's are David Ryan, the rest is a mystery!
What schools did you go to?
Forest Lodge Primary, then Alderman Newtons and then New College - all in New Parks, Leicester!!
What date were you born?
19th September 1985
Do you have any brothers or sisters
Yes - 1 older brother (Mitch, 23) and 1 younger sister (Billie-Leigh, 5)
What football team do you support?
Manchester United of course!
Where do you want to be in five years time
Tough question - a full time position in radio (hopefully still at Takeover Radio as I love the place) and also doing some DJing in a bar or club within the city at weekends! I'd also liked to have passed my driving test or have some sort of transport and be fully settled with Becki - yet still having plenty of fun and most of all, be totally happy!

My Interests


This is my girl in the world, my baby Becki! We've been together for over 10 months now and it's been great. I love her with all my heart and she means the world to me. Whenever I'm down, she always makes me happy!

I've grew up loving football and loving Manchester United thanks to my dad. Whether it's chanting from the Stretford End at Old Trafford, singing and dancing in the away end of the Amsterdam ArenA for a pointless pre-season friendly or watching a horrible defeat in the TV - guarenteed that I've been through the emotions of them all!

Another passion in my life is music - well dance music anyway. I love most new stuff, but it's purely an interest of things like Funky House and Funky Electro stuff - also, can never miss out a bit of Scouse House (I hate the word scouse tho for reasons of the above!!) straight from the good old North West!

Being a virgo, I like the think I'm superior (not my words, that's a quote from some dodgy star sign thing my girlfriend showed me) by noticing mistakes on things an analysing them to death. So if I watch EastEnders, I'll be picking some sort of continuity fault - but don't get me wrong, I never miss out on the storyline!

THE WORST thing is when I watch my favourite show Dream Team, yet I'm constantly picking faults with the programme. Perhaps I shouldn't take it so seriously, or perhaps the highly overpaid writers should sort the act out - who knows?!?

Huge fan of the 'Rated R Superstar' Edge! Definately the most entertaining superstar in the WWE! Also a fan of Mr.Kennedy... Kennedy! The Announcing God, JBL, JBL, JBL! 'The Animal' Batista, 'The Big Red Monster' Kane, Carlito, the 'Legend Killer' Randy Orton, Triple H, King Booker, Chris Benoit and the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair - "wooooooooooo!"

I'd like to meet:

You can probably see from that list that I love English comedy films from the 60s/70s... I love films associated with Football... I love films with action... and I also enjoy films that star Eddie Murphy in them! Pretty weird selection!

Television:


When it comes to this show, I'm a geek. I've never missed an episode since it began in October 1997. I know everything about the show, more than the writers it seems! But sadly it's finishing after the the new series!!

I've always liked this. It did go downhill at one point, but it's back on top form now.

This is my favourite comedy series ever! Typical English comedy starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson who are hilarious!

The latest series weren't as good as the previous two - but it's still one of the best things on TV. So realistic and true to life - yet so funny at the same time!

Heroes:

Becki: because she makes me happy and does both of the above AND coz I love her loads!!!

Family: because they are always there for me and do so so much for me, espcially my dad and mam

Friends: because they give me confidence in things

All in all, these people share one thing in common and that's that they know how to have fun!
