About Me

Oh hell, I might as well set one of these things up - I keep discovering people that I know on here.
I'm a TV Product Producing, country singing Scot who lives in London and has an obsessive interest in baby chimps, especially if they're wearing a nappy. I am also a big fan of bats, cats, lemurs and rodents of all descriptions.
Monkey World is my spiritual home.
I love to travel, eat too much cheese, poke at fires, watch lightening, listen to music, go to/play intimate gigs and enjoy consuming the odd sneaky packet of pickled onion maize snacks and a glass or four of port.
I can often be found in bed asleep, cursing the TV/public/Daily Mail readers/work/world, or complaining that I have some form of sore throat/virus.
Perhaps I will make this "about me" section a bit better at some point.
