About Me

I'm Oli and I'm going to assume you know me so this is going to be short.
I like reading, philosophy, music, films, and a bunch of computer games.
I spend most of my time wasting time and sometimes wish I didn't, but I'm fairly content.
My favourite drinks are Guiness and Tea which I take strong and with some semi-skimmed milk.
