About Me

I am a freelance radio presenter. Thios is a fancy term for being unemployed.

My Interests

Music, Gigs, Scunthorpe United (I was going to say 'football', but with Scunny, that is only true in a loose sense) *EDIT - This is kind of out of date now, due to us being Champions of League One and all that. Odd really, first time I've ever really enjoyed being proven wrong*Stand-Up Comedy and some other stuff...

I'd like to meet:

Does this mean famous people? No one springs to mind.

Living It Gangster. Sort Of.

On Saturday night I was on the way back from the pub in Hackney when I WAS DRIVE-BYED. Actually, before I reveal the obviously riveting, yet slightly surprising details of that, let me ask - can 'driv...

Newspaper in 'might not be telling truth' shocker

I have discussed my views on celeb culture in this blog before, but I saw a particularly rubbish version of it today that I thought would relay to you (oh, lucky you). Page 14 of the Metro, a&nb...

Sign Of The Times

Oh dear. Here is a sign that has been put up near my flat: Presumably, a grasp of basic English is what YOU'RE missing. I mean, not only did someone design it, it must have also been okayed and then ...

What Happens When There's No Lesser Of Two Evils?

I don't watch TV very often - there's two hours on a Thursday that's decent (Dragons' Den, Extras and Mitchell and Webb) - but not much else after that. However, today I did watch Celebrity Wife Swap...

If they give gold for first and silver for second, what do you get for finishing 18027th? That's where I came in the 2006 Great North Run (sponsor name deliberately overlooked), I was the 18027th fas...
