About Me

I love: sunshine, festivals, raves, parties, meat (especially pork), wilderness, live music, old cars, new challenges, defacing my body, going to new places, singing (badly), exercise, attempting to drink my own bodyweight in stella...I am now in Thailand, a short way into my 3 year mission of drunken fun and life experience. The next 6 months will be around South East Asia. Then on to New Zealand for more of the same, but some working thrown in too. After that, who knows? South America is the plan... Tasmania. One of the most beautiful places in the world. My '77 Cortina. I will never sell this car. Eventually she'll be running a 3.1 'Essex' V6

My Interests

I'm a person of 2 halves. One side loves getting smashed out of my brain and enjoying living for the moment, the other side is a health and exercise freak who loves long walks in the countryside and by the sea. I see it as my main challenge in life to reconcile the two to a happy medium.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who just don't give a fuck...

Music:

I love all sorts of music- as long as it has soul. hard, heavy, intricate stuff I can lose myself in. I only like singers who sing- I can't stand whining or emo boy vocals! The Steve Miller Band, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cat Empire, Johnny Cash, Sublime, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Green Day, Motorhead, Wolfmother, Therapy?, Jimi.....Any hard fast drum 'n' bass, techno, hard house and that kinda thing that I can dance like an idiot to past sunrise! I also enjoy listening to classical music- especially early baroque with fast twiddly violins and harpsichords.

Movies:

I like these films.Quadrophenia...Fight Club...The Shining...Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrells...Trainspotting...The Lost Boys...Pulp Fiction...Human Traffic...Happy Gilmore...Airplane...Duel...Jaws...The Outsiders...South West 9...Kill Bill...The Italian Job...28 Days Later...The Naked Gun films (and anything with Leslie Nielson in it)...

Television:

Don't watch that much telly really. When I do, I like - Lead Balloon...The Fast Show...Ali G...Alan Partridge...The League of Gentlemen...Little Britain...Black Books...Harry Hill...The News...Nature Programs...Travel Programs...Heartbeat...

Books:

These are some books I enjoyed reading. Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights"...Irvine Welsh's "Glue"... Irvine Welsh's "Trainspotting" (I like all his books)... Roddy Doyle's "The Van"... Luke Rhineheart's "The Dice Man"... Alex Garland's "The Beach"... Chris Haslam's "Twelve Step Fandango"... Joseph Heller's"Catch 22"... Iain Bank's "The Wasp Factory"... Kevin Sampson's "Powder"... Graham Greene's "Brighton Rock"... Colin Bateman's "Cycle of Violence"... Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations"... Daniel DeFoe's "Robinson Crusoe"... Stuff by Robert G. Barrett.

Heroes:

That bloke who wanders around Farnborough and North Camp in a blue anorak, fucking about with rubbish in bins, usually with a drink in his hand. If I work really hard, one day I could be just like him.
