About Me

I'm a bit of a geek and happy to be so.
I'm usually on Facebook and really only here on MySpace for the music.

My Interests

Pink Jelly Bellys - I like all the pink ones, the red ones can surprise you in unpleasant ways. I don't like unpleasant surprises, but who does? I like a good debate, I have an opinion on everything - if you don't want to know - don't ask. If you want to impress me cook me a rare steak, fried red onions, sweetcorn, green beans and potatoes dauphinoise - follow with an imaginative use of icecream.

Music:

The Beloved, Bush, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Nizlopi, Ray Lamontagne, Pink, Athlete, Bob Dylan, Andreas Johnson, Jack Johnson, Paul Weller, Paolo Nutini, Lemon Jelly, Blondie, They Might Be Giants, Jeff Buckley, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, The Cure, Matchbox 20, Al Green, Chicane, Ben Harper, John Mayer, The Chemical Brothers, James Brown, Verticle Horizon, Bt, Amy Studt, Missy Higgins, Green Day, Ben Folds Five, Bobby Darin, Snow Patrol, Our Lady Peace, Sly & the Family Stone, Gorillaz, The Katie Rogers Band, Curtis Mayfield, Jonathan Coulton, Lenny Kravitz, Letters to Cleo, Frou Frou, The Killers, The Futureheads, Jason Mraz, Regina Spektor, Bloc Party, Stacie Orrico, James Morrison, Percy Sledge, everything and anything. . . particular mentions: They Might Be Giants, Faithless, The Disturbed and Jeff Buckley (oh - and I was an 'honourary member of the 'Elvis Appreciation Society' at Uni). Not a fan of country music. I'm currently enjoying a number of acoustic sets at The Regal Room in Hammersmith - I haven't been disappointed yet. And from VFest - The Foo's, The Killers, Scouting for Girls, and The Goo Goo Dolls

Monkeybone and Happy Feet. Little Miss Sunshine, You me and Everyone we Know, Crash, The Secretary, Must like Dogs, I have over 500 DVD's

Television:

My Name is Earl, Ugly Betty, Hollyoakes (born in Chester - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). Liked Entourage, Charmed (when Cole was in it), and Neighbours twice a day when I was a student (haven't watched it in years). I miss the broom cupboard.
