About Me

If you really want to know "All about me" the "All about me" survey is in my blog, just click where is says "All about me" or why not leave me a comment or something far out like that?

My Interests

Getting into mountain biking more (downhills are better than up.) Occasionally play squash but want to play more. I really wanna go snowboarding again... NOW! Did joing the gym but ain't been for ages. Spend most of my time either at work or asleep (or both at once!) Spend far too much time on my PC and probably drink too much as well but never mind eh...

I'd like to meet:

You!

Music:

My music taste changes almost daily. Some of the bands on my ipod (in alphabetical order) All American Rejects, Arctic Monkeys, Athlete, Automatic, Babyshambles, Biffy Clyro, Blur, The Bravery, Coldplay, Editors, Embrace, Feeder, Field Music, Fightstar, The Futureheads, The Holloways, Howling Bells, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Keane, Klaxons, Larrikin Love, The Libertines, The Maccabees, The Motorettes, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Oasis, Panic! At the Disco, Placebo, Razorlight, Snow Patrol, We are Scientists, The Zutons...................
Listen to radio 1 abit. Chris Moyles, Colin & Edith (Well just Edith now cos they moved Colin, so now it ain't as good), Jo Whiley, but get fed up with them playing crap most the time. Best show has got to be Zane Lowe. I also love Sara Cox, I could listen to that woman talk to herself all day!Band's I've seen 28th May 2006
