Noise Is A Friend

I am here for Friends

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Married, with a young son. 39 years old, and desperately trying not to feel every minute of them. "Civil" servant, just underpaid enough to keep my record and CD buying in some sort of check - here's to maxing-out the credit cards!Lifelong fan (okay, 32 years) of Portsmouth FC, which probably explains my permanently-downcast countenance. But then again, who said that enjoyment would be easy?
