About Me

Now Then, I am a Yorkshire lad which means I eat tea instead of dinner. So thanks for coming along. Have you brought a bottle...?************************************************** ***********************************I work at Trent FM in Nottingham on the drive show (Mon-Fri 4-7pm). I also write for Nottingham's "FHP" magazine - the lifestyle magazine for the city. I am loving Nottingham, such a top city. Its independant and vibrant but not up its own backside. If it was a woman, I would very much like to date it. As it is I have already moved in. I'll try not to let myself go...******************************************************* ******************************I really don't know what to write here. Which is a shame as I have just deleted the stuff that was on here before and that was quite good.******************************************************* ******************************All I want from life is to be happy and successful and for those I love to be happy and successful too. After all, we determine our own success via our own interpretation of success (er, I think that's right). Oh, and I really want to eat an entire Edam before I die too. Yes, that would be ace.******************************************************** *****************************

My Interests

..Everything interests me. Seriously.. EVERYTHING!!!! Well, at first, but I do have the attention span of a carpet tile. As my friend Jess says, "You've got a minute...".

I'd like to meet:

I don't know because I haven't met them yet. Oh, but definately Georgie Thompson from Sky Sports News. ************************************************************ **********************

Music:

I'm really back into the old skool flavas at the moment - Babyface, Maxwell, Aaliyah, Brandy - perfect summer vibes!!! Seriously, get the champagne/Asti Spumanti out, kick back and you'll be there in no time. Dean Martin is the ultimate if you're ever feeling down. Try him and I defy you to not smile. I don't think there is such a thing as a bad song, every single song ever written has touched at least one person in some way I reckon (get me eh!?!).

Movies:

Its A Wonderful Life - Top Gun - The Notebook - Shawshank Reception - Serendipity - Muppets Christmas Carol - Favourite Ever Film = Swingers - "You're So Money Baby!!"

Television:

Family Guy - 2 And A Half Men - The West Wing - Scrubs - Match Of The Day if Middlesbrough have won (obviously, I don't watch much telly).

Books:

Danny Wallace if you get chance to read either Join Me or Yes Man. Fabulous!! Reading The Art Of Happiness by the Dalai Lama at the moment. Although I dropped that in the hot tub today - I hope that's not bad karma.

Which of the Lords of Rainbow do you serve?

Heroes:

Anyone who can make a proper cup of tea and can make proper Yorkshires, not that frozen muck that Aunt Bessie throws out.Mainly my Parents and sister (who live in Cyprus), my family and my friends.I am lucky enough to have friends, both old and new, who I love and who inspire me both professionally, personally and down an ally.Anyone who has realised or are realising their ambitions, managed to do something for others and are still grounded and know how important that will always be. Yes, you're definately my heroes. Arrogant people are those who are afraid to admit their insecurities. I am very insecure but I'm arrogant enough to admit it. Ahh... ;0)
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
