About Me

Second generation Irishman that did like a drink but now is in the process of giving up but finding it difficult! I used to be an obsessive collector of vinyl records and have a fairly eclectic taste in music. Have DJ'd occasionally and will break dance for money. Got a 2:1 degree in film studies and can can talk a load of bollocks about film, particuarly the horror genre. I play the Bodhrn but not to the standard I'd like.

My Interests

Irish history intrests me and stuff like Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony. Follower of the mighty Glasgow Celtic, MON THE CELTS!

Any Glasgow Celtic or Ireland supporters, Guinness and Jameson drinkers, film students, turntablists, drummers, anyone who plays hooded gunman.
