About Me

This profile was so wrong for so long I've decided to finally update it! So, here goes...this is me: I work at London Zoo (yay!)as a press officer which feels like the best job in the world at the moment. I get to hang out with cool animals all day including the giraffes Dawn and Crackers and do really fun stuff like writing stories, setting up cute photos and sorting out filming at the zoo. Before that i worked as a journalist, which was also brilliant but not a patch on being mates with the monkeys. I have small but rigid needs in life...mainly cuddles and cherry coke - both of which are kindly provided by John, my rock star boyf in the making (please check out the Venus Guns - they're makin' it big I tell ya!). I live in Chadwell Heath at the moment, which is basically a pitstop for people going between Ilford and Romford. I'm from Ilford anyway, so the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. I love chocolate and sweet things of all descriptions (pick 'n' mix), I love miming, I love funny people and making people laugh, I love not taking things too seriously. I hate making decisions because I can't and I always feel guilty when I spend money. I can't drive for shit, so get off the road if you see me coming but I am a good cook. And, in case you didn't think this was a riveting enough read already, I belong to a book club.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Elvis Presley (not likely), Christopher Reeve, Marc Bolan (there's a pattern emerging here), the Queen, Queen (the band), Keanu Reeves, and any good people who will be nice to me. And Tom Welling from Smallville. Please!

Bollocks bingo

If you work in an office with many David Brent-ians, you could benefit from passing the time with a game of bollocks bingo. Next time you are called to a meeting (No one will call it a meeti...

Not enough vultures

An interesting factoid...(discovered late at night in a surfing frenzy) Apparently there are no longer enough vultures for Zoroastrians in India to carry out their traditional burial rights. They used...
