About Me

I'm 27 years old and I live by the seaside on the South East coast of England. I love going to gigs, Arsenal and lots of other fun things. I like to play poker and design websites.... I'm also addicted to msn games, scrabble and quizzes.
In 2006 I became a World Record Holder along with 194 other people (see 'World Championship of Strip Poker' blog for details).
I played at the Poker Dome Challenge in Vegas in October 2006. I had a great time and won the tournament which was broadcast on FOX. I went back to Vegas in December '06 to play in the Semi's and came 4th with 33 vs smooch's QT. Ben Ludwig went on to win but alas didn't make himself a millionaire in the grand finale back in March.
I love music very much, from a variety of genre. Particular unsigned favourites appear in my top friends. Listen to them, enjoy them and buy their CD's.
In September 2008 I'm getting married in Las Vegas to my long-term pesky boyfriend Ant. It should be fun! We'll have a mega party down here after, so many of your invitations will be in the post sometime next year!
