Taking it easy since 1980.

About Me

okay...i thought it was about time that i actually put something relevant into this thing! i'm rob, 26, originally from london via merthyr tydfil, currently living in swansea . i originally came to swansea in 98 for uni, after finishing that course (business/law) i worked for a couple of years then went to australia...and fell in love with the place, hopefully i'm going to move out there one day! then went back to uni to do a music tech degree. at the moment i suppose i'd have to say i'm a property developer (but it's just a one off)i'd like to think that i'm pretty laid back, been a vegetarian since i was about 19, absolutly love music from listening to creating...played in bands for many years but have had a break the last couple of years, hopefully getting back into it soon...prefer the finer things in life when they're avaliable but not adverse to slumming it! :) found the most awesome holiday on the net...going to south america and then on to the galapagos islands, and yes you can come aslong as long as your not a psyco. :)feel free to message me....more to follow at some point. fhup.com

My Interests

Movies:

if it makes me laugh, think or smile i'll give it ago. can't be bothered to name hundrerds of cult/ classic films ......but Blue Juice is awesome.

Television:

Neighbours....thats all you need to know for now. also a big fan of Scrubs and Lost, anything by attenborough...everything he makes is awesome.
