About Me

i'm a studio monkey that is occasionally let out to play. guitar, tiddlywinks, piano, flugelhorn. in that order.
i grew up on a desert island in the english channel. i managed to save up all my milk teeth one by one as they fell out, eventually having enough to build a basic saw. i knew from the island library that most deserted island dwellers built rafts to escape. booooring. i built a ford gt, entirely out of palm trees and coconut husks. and it wasn't one of the new versions either - this was a classic 1966 ford gt.
after driving round and round in really fast circles, i flagged down a passing ferry and arrived in the uk.
theres a grey area between the ages of 15 and 21 that no amount of psychoanalysis has been able to unravel, and so, i find myself aged 25, living and working in london.
since joining myspace, i have systematically eradicated all my non-internet/myspace-using friends, until the list you see below is actually a genuine list of my friends in its entirety.
since then, i've gone one step further. any indvidual on my friends list who doesn't log on for over 30 days gets a call from me and a hammer in the early hours of the morning....
in my spare time i enjoy building patios.

Music:

EURGGH i hate music. its what people who don't go to church and take drugs and have sex listen to.i prefer sinewave tones, as kindly supplied by the english broadcasting union.having said that, i am rather partial to the music of special benny, who let me hold guitars on stage with them and denounce all the infidels. i think owing to the loudness of their concerts the crowd think i am enjoying the experience, when in fact i am shouting YOU WILL ALL BURN IN FLAMES!!!

Heroes:

my crazy family. xxx
