DÃœSSELDORF CALLING

About Me


Places:
I was born in Bonn, our cosy ex capital city. 1978, when I was 13, I visited England for the first time and came back infected with Anglomania and Punk Rock. (A year on I told my mum I would never ever be getting older than Sid Vicious... Hmm.) Many years later (and a lot older than Sid managed to get), after five years in Cologne and serious thoughts about moving to Leeds, I finally settled down in the city I've been in love with since the nights spent in the Ratinger Hof: Düsseldorf!
Characteristics:
I don't believe in zodiac signs, but if I would, I'd say I really am a Leo, as I've definitely got all the attributed bad features. Furthermore, I am a perfectionist, untidy, never on time, the most unromantic person in the world (I've been told), one of those annoyingly strict vegetarians, and unfortunately - due to some fast living in my youth - my short-term memory is lacking capacity... But I've probably got some good qualities as well?!
