About Me


I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you fartknockers should too!Hey up - I'm a music and football fan originally from Lincolnshire but now residing in North London (via East London, Essex and North Germany). I like drinking. It doesn't matter which occasion it is - whether it's at home with mates listening to music or losing to Pro Evo, down the pub, or having a mad night out in Old Street, Angel, "up West", or back home in Lincoln enjoying a few swifties before watching The Imps! Mind you, watching Lincoln City FC sober is not ideal. Generally spend my weekdays planning an illustrious career/playing bass/writing bass riffs/listening to music etc etc before going to work in the evenings. Couldn't get used to daily routines once I'd finished my German and Media Degree - so I can still pretend I'm a student by day!

My Interests

Music - (see below about bands) - on a practical basis, play bass guitar, slowly but surely progressing - starting to write some bass riffs. Love also to wander round Shoreditch and Camden browsing various record shops. Football - follow the fortunes of Lincoln City and Werder Bremen from afar. Oh yeah, and England. Sometimes wish I could cling to my mother's Scottish roots when I see the behaviour of our fans abroad and/or the team's performances. Also like to read, like nights in with a couple of cans, mates and Pro Evo tournaments. Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

I'd like to meet:

Pele. Bobby Gillespie. Trevor McDonald. On a more realistic basis, some more people who are interested in music listed below. Would also love to meet some more fans of crap football teams - come and join myself (Lincoln), Daren and Alan (both QPR), Jim (Scunthorpe) and many more for a good old whinge about how crap our teams are over a soothing pint. And then going out for a night out of tomfoolery and jiggery pokery!**Updated - would also love to meet any London based Werder Bremen fans, wir koennen vielleicht etwas trinken in Old Street - da gibt es eine Kneipe mit echte Deutches Bier!**

Disappointing result

Well, we went down 2-3 at home to Swindon today. Very bad defending for all three goals we conceded - I don't think we're good enough to go up with defending like that. The scarf that Becci's mum made...

Down the toilet. (Lincoln's push for automatic promotion, that is)

It's been a good few weeks of music, but NOT football. It seems that Lincoln are doing their best to fuck up their push for automatic promotion - another dismal display leading to a home defeat again...
