About Me

I'm a 40 something Mancunian, my name is Paul but everyone calls me Goose or Turgy due to my strange surname. My passions are music, gigs, football, trawling the internet and a nice pint of real ale, I'm Married with two lovely daughters and one horrible mortgage.

My Interests

My main passions are Music & Football and i am a match going Manchester United fan. I love live gigs of all shapes and sizes, and collect music of all types in all formats. I spend far to much time on the internet and my computer in general and although i think i'm now officially to old for night clubs i enjoy a good beer festival or a night in the pub.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone in the world , once!
