Shut The Fuck Up & Dance!

About Me

Been here long enough so time for an updateI live in the joys of Manningtree (Britains Smallest Town dont'cha know) were there's more pubs than shops and 2 meters of beach, but spend most of the time in Colchester (Which is Britains oldest recorded town to boot) either at work getting people jobs at HSBC or more importantly in a pub/gigMy main passion is for Music, especialy Heavy Metal in all its glorious forms (yes even nu metal) and any other form of music that has some form of passion/effort behind it.. after all a good dong is a good song no matter who wrote it.. Im also a total Gig whore, I go to more gigs in a week than most people i know go in a year, basicaly if its listed on my calender im going to it, Huzzah for living close(ish) to london and having a railcard (not long left)I also really enjoy cricket which suprises alot of people, used to play aaaages ago but nowadays more content to take some beers and watch the Essex Eagles in full flight at Chelmsford
