About Me


As you can probably tell ive let myself go a bit of late, but despite this im still the same old jolly green giant you have all come to know and love…
For those that don’t, im a 24 year old half English half Irish half-wit living in the home counties. Born and bred in North London I moved out to Buckinghamshire at a young age and have lived here since.
Like Bananaman I lead a bizarre double life, IT Technical Analyst by day and rock n roll manager / promoter extraordinaire by night.

My Interests

Stereotypical I know but i absolutely LOVE Football, im a Chelsea nut and come from a long line of Chelsea nuts. Also soft spots for Watford and Barnet because of where I grew up. Love a good old game of Poker with the boys. Will also watch a bit of Snooker, Darts and a touch of Cricket. I dont have the same dislike of egg chasing (Rugby) that I once did, it aint all that bad. I also think that Music makes the world go round, but more about that below...

I'd like to meet:


People who make me laugh and smile and generally happy... Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, Jose Mourinho, Kate Bush, Reeves and Mortimer, John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Morrissey, Nicky Wire, Lucas and Walliams, Peter Kay...
