About Me

I'm exhaustingly chaotic and difficult to get along with. Usually seen by others as weird, arrogant, and aggressively opinionated; I frequently but inadvertently offend people when I talk about religion, politics or sex often, but not always, because I'm shamelessly intoxicated and have thus lost what little sense of tact or decency I might of had. Despite these numerous and severe shortcomings I have large circles of friends in Plymouth, Bristol and Swansea.

My Interests

Reading, cooking, drinking, taking drugs, listing to music, blogging and making inappropriate and miscalculated long shots at girls that are clearly out of my league.

I'd like to meet:

The sort of people that attract stern, religious glowers.

Music:

Stuff I havn't heard yet.

Movies:

Made in Britain, Romper Stomper, American History X, Love Honour and Obey, The Business, Layer Cake. Films about skinheads and British Gangsters, basically.

Television:

All british comedy execpt for Lee Evens and Bernard fucking Manning.

Books:

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, Freedom Next Time by John Pilger, Unpeople by Mark Curtis and almost anything political by Noam Chomsky. I also like Iain Banks, Robert Ludlum, J R R Tolkien, Sebastien Faulks and Jostein Gaardier.

Heroes:

Noam Chomsky, Mark Curtis, John Pilger, Richard Dawkins, Patrick Cockburn, Peter Trasky, Peter Tatchell amongst others.

Madness gone politically correct

Examples of politically correctness that have led to daft conclusions are not hard to find. Urban myths of children being made to sing 'bar bar green sheep' nursery rhymes and councils that refer to '...

Vegetarianism

I stopped eating meat about a year and a half ago because I thought it was cruel and unnecessary. I didn't want to write this blog. I have at least 15 other blogs which I use to moan and complai...

Cathartic relief for those who have had their intelligence insulted

When I hear somebody tell a story or make a claim that is obviously false I take the piss. I try to lampoon and ridicule the fabricator and degrade and humiliate them as far as my caustic wit will all...

The return of the drugs fairy

This will be a familiar one of those who have known me for the last 3 years; the matter of drink spiking. Almost every one knows of someone who claims to of have their drink spiked. It is a worr...
