About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / 3D Multi Blue

I work in radio promotions at Parlophone and like to get as much stuff for free as possible. I stole a coke from my local shop the other day by mistake. I hid it in my armpit and forgot it was there. result! I like knitting, mountains, Nesquik, cheese and polaroid cameras. I hate synthetic duvets, celery, Mika, coriander and Ken Dodd.I also *heart* this:La re..volution des crabes
