That rug really tied the room together.

About Me

I'm a 27 year old fellow who likes to hit things that go bang, crash, sizzle and pling! I've recently started a 2 year MSc in Occupational Therapy which is what I've decided to do with my life after much deliberation...hmmm...I'd really like to occupy some therapy...I love the following, perhaps obvious things - family, friends, seeing live music and comedy, hearing other people laugh - especially children and old folks, sunrises and sunsets, impressive clouds, the sea, swimming, getting drunk enough but not too drunk, innapropriate humour (in the right company of course!), being friendly to strangers, playing drums and bongos, toys, driving, sunshine, snow, big smiles, going away, coming home, all animals (with the possible exception of mosquitos and wasps!), history, photos, reading, films, art, eating, drinking lots of water and playing frisbee!THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO 'GRRRR WHY I OUGHTTA'= ignorance, 90% of what's in the charts, adverts, people who can't wash up properly (I am a bit 'Detective Monk' in some ways!), mindless Hollywood films especially remakes, not getting enough sleep for too many nights - I turn EVIL, when computers breakdown, endless rubbish and repeats on TV, George Bush, Cliff Richard...

My Interests

I've been drumming for 10 years +. I should be better than I am, but I'm ok. I play guitar badly.

I'd like to meet:
