About Me


Finally getting round to editing this, when i really should be doing revision (which, coincidentally, i havnt started yet).
Right so, im at Birmingham uni, doing Civil Engineering. Its dull mostly, but sometimes isnt. Its my third year too, which should make me an advanced student, and therefore good at drinking and doing work at the last minute. Whilst the latter is true, the former isnt, but its cheaper that way, so im not complaining!
I spend too much money on motorsport. Infact, i was broke for 2 months for simply that reason. Sadly, i have a habit of choosing expensive hobbies. Im in the uni karting team, who compete in the BUKC , a national karting championship with loads of other unis, which may well by on Sky next year. After uni, Le Mans calls :)
Other related things, my car was dead and was fixed at great expense. I couldnt afford it then and cant afford it now, hoorar for parents :P
I 'work' at Sainsbury's, though 'work' is used in the loosest possible sense. 'Walk around' would be a more realistic definition of my job. But its the easiest job in the world, and the pay's good, which is nice
Oh, and thanks to Twiny i now have a cold, grrr!

My Interests

Im a BIG motorsport fan. You'll find me at Rockingham once a month and karting in the meantime.
Ive been on holiday to America more times than i care to remember. The driving standards are appalling, generally. Vegas is a waste of time, avoid and go to the Grand Canyon instead!
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on msn, facebook and to a lesser extent, myspace. Degree's were so much easier before computers were invented

I'd like to meet:

Eddie Izzard
Valentino Rossi
Michael Schumacher
Jimmie Johnson

Music:

Il kinda listen to anything really. Im not a fan of rnb, garage and the like, but everything else is quite good. My music collection therefore spans from Nina Simone to my all time favourite band, Less Than Jake, and from Rick Springfield to KT Tunstall, and everything in between.
A small selection of my music;
- NOFX
- Nerina Pallot
- Unwritten Law
- Jack Johnson
- Madness
- Barenaked Ladies
- ELO
- Goldfinger
- Sugar Ray
- The Rosenbergs

Movies:

Favourite film ever is Saving Private Ryan, closely followed by Big Fish. Other favourites include Garden State, Black Hawk Down, Stranger Than Fiction and Road Trip!

Television:

Scrubs is without doubt the best program on TV. Im gradually working through the DVD's of it and it gets better all the time. I love Red Dwarf which isnt on enough these days. I also have the Band of Brothers box set somewhere which is great, and 24 makes my laugh more and more as it continues. Oh, and Top Gear :)

Books:

Dont read a great deal, only on holiday really, but i have a lot of books by Douglas Adams and Tom Holt. They're ace :)

Heroes:

Richard Burn (R.I.P) :(
