John R Simpson - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I am John R. Simpson of Swinton, Manchester.
Pressing on strings and strumming them has long been an enjoyable pastime of mine. The melodic, sometimes cacophonous noise they make somehow brings me pleasure.
Hitting skins with smooth thick flints of wood also makes my belly swell.I was a dedicated parishioner of the Church Of Strongbow until the Fellowship of Hoegaarden tempted me away but now Guinness is canvassing me.
Nearly everytime you see me, I will be wearing something blue or yellow.
The last seven years of my life have been amazing. The one and only reason for this is my once girlfriend, now fiancee Claire. She's well good. She's a Superhero Princess (TM).
I was a blood donor but I kept flaking out. Now they don't even want it anymore.
Nothing amuses me more than talking cats.
Or a <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids .individual&videoid=739288457>cat going apeshit.</a>I have an incredible ability to unintentionally upset people but when I put my mind to it I am quite bad at it.<p>There's a lot of people I'd like to a lot more of but I live on the wrong side of Manchester.<p>90% of the time, I wish I was in Berlin or Paris.<p>I really don't think there's anything else you could possibly know about me.
