My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Michael Jackson: to see how bad he is in the flesh/plastic.
David Dickinson: for a few pints - He seems like such a nice guy.
The fat one out of McFly: because I feel sorry for him and his speech impediment.
Dermot Morgan: because he's Father Ted, if he weren't dead (that wasn't meant to rhyme).
David 'The Hoff' Hasslehoff: for cult value. To see if he holds puppies with him like on his calendar, or wears an LED covered leather jacket. Sharp.
Dave 'Scorer' Storry: I know he's a comic character in The Mirror, but I've read that strip since I was about 12.

My Blog

Bitten by the music bug
