About Me

Freelancing editor type person. Also DV camera op, web designer and occasional documentary producer. It depends on which day you ask me. Yesterday I was a web designer, today I am an editor. Tomorrow is Saturday.

Website at www.seraphim.co.uk

My Interests

Orchids, dodgy bars in south american countries, watching the internet instead of the TV, the cricket, filming stuff, beating people at tekken, photographing orchids, being overly critical of TV programmes, old man pubs.

I'd like to meet:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Heroes, Dangermouse, The Fraggles, Superted, The Moomins, Batfink. What?

Music:

Not enough space to list everything I like. Not enough space to list everything I hate either, but I'd say Katie Melua, Travis, Keane, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Damian Rice and Jamie Flippin Cullum for starters. Likes: well, my most played list on windows media player includes Talking Heads, Amadou and Mariam, dEUS, the Beastie Boys, John Martyn, The Bees, Dr John, Bob Dylan, Juanes, Tony Allen, Jarabe de Palo, Milton Nascimento, Los de Abajo, Roisin Murphy and Mice Parade, if that helps. And of course, The Chancers.
My God! I forgot to add James Blunt to my list of hates. How could I have done that? My hatred of James Blunt practically fuels my very being.

Movies:

A worrying fondness for bad horror movies. I like good ones too, but there is something truly special about a properly rubbish splatter movie. Hate trying to come up with top ten movie lists, because I always think of something I missed out, but if I'm being honest, my top lazy Sunday afternoon favourites basically come down to a choice of Die Hard, Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters.

Television:

It's all rubbish, isn't it? Hah, the irony.

Books:

Can't find a way of writing anything in this section without sounding completely pretentious. So I won't.

Heroes:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Heroes, Dangermouse, The Fraggles, Superted, The Moomins, Batfink. What?

Don't mention the cricket.

I am absolutely serious. Don't mention the A@!*s in my presence, I am liable to get violent. Am now attempting what i believe is known as "primal scream therapy". It's not helping....
