Umm NOT writing profiles of myself, but i am bored and have naught else to do...SO I like to write, and read, and go to gigs and drink tea and eat toast and muck about with charcole and oil paints cos I can't really draw for toffee.
I'd like to meet:
On here? Oh I dunno...but generally? Out of anyone in the whole world? Golly gosh...It'd be cool to meet Bobby Dylan...ummm Joe Strummer perhaps...OH and the dude who invented Hobnobs cos he/she needs serious congratulating.
