Kurt's in Heaven Now. And so it goes...

About Me

I am of little fame, and only slightly more notariety (having once got stuck in a revolving door with John Prescott- he was shorter that I thought he would be), and having also had an argument once with Tim Westwood's father on Radio Cambridgeshire (the erstwhile Bishop of Peterborough; now deceased). Mick Jagger also once bought me a pint. I have not to this date bought him one back. I'm 6"2' tall in my socks, for anyone who's interested in that sort sort of thing and have naturally dark hair and brown eyes- 2 out of three is nothing to complain about... All in all, this is is a snapshot- I like good cinima, good music, good wine, good whiskey, good food and anything else to make the journey around this mortal coil run a little smoother. An old romantic at heart, with a bruised, jaded exterior- kind of like Bruce Willis, but with a full head of hair still, which is a bonus I'm eternally grateful for. Oh- I used to be a nurse for quite a few years. There- I have a caring side...I live in the UK, down on the South Coast, and I like it here.

My Interests

Badgers, antelopes and using my superior height to try and look down girls tops...

I'd like to meet:

Freaks, perverts, loosers, users, drug abusers, cattle rustlers, arsonists, gamblers, fools, wise men bearing gifts, shepherds bearing lambs, women bearing their breasts and... other road safety campaigners.And this is my arch rival. Just because he played Darth Vader, everyone thinks he's cool. But he's not- in fact, he's gay. And a paedo too. Probably. Can you see why they used someone else for Darth Vader's voice in the films? "Come over to the Dark Side, my lover!". Very few intergallactic neo facist dictators come from the West Country. I suppose it dosn't really engender that kind of quality in people. But he's still a nonce, and a poove, and I hate him!

Music:

Anything fom Mozart to Motorhead- pretty well across the board, as long as it has feeling and spirit. Dirty blues, rock n roll, bit of jazz (nothing too wanky). Oh, and Johny Cash. Name some names- heck- who really has fun doing this bit? And who has fun reading all the bands I like to listen to- it depends on the mood- we all know that. Jonny Cash- Dylan- Woodie Guthrie- Sandy Dillon- The Rolling Stones- Leadbelly- Mudlow- The Dials- Gravel Road- Seasick Steve- The Cocteau Twins- New Model Army- Miles Davis- John Coltrain- Gutav Mahler- Derek Griffiths!

Movies:

Coen Brothers, Marx Brothers, not so much those 2 brothers who made the Matrix films (found them a bit dull, if I'm honest, and I think everyone else did too, and just said they liked them- Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome....)- Anything by Wim Wenders, anything by Mike Leigh, anything by Spike Lee, and Lassie films- though not seen the modern remake yet. Oh, and the Railway Children (the origional- not the remake!). And Ealing Comedies- especially "The Lavender Hill Mob" and "The Ladykillers". And David Lynch- I like him alot too. Jim Jarmuch- there's another one.

Television:

I got one of them babies. Sometimes it shows some stuff I like. Most of the time, it just shows Hoover Bag Sherlocks or some other shit... Or Noel "Fucking" Edmunds.

Books:

Kurt Vonegut, Joseph Heller, Graham Greene and books with lots of pictures- mainly of dogs, balls and trips to the supermarket, etc.

Heroes:

WHo needs heros? It's unhealthy, and there's always space for them to disapoint you. OK- if pushed, Marge Simpson... Maybe PeeWee Herman too. And Jesus. Jesus was way cool...

Bands! Are you just playing scattershot?

 I get requests from the most amazingly bizare bands on here- my latest was a jungle/ big beat band from Shrewbury.  Why? How did they find me? Does it say "Big Beat" anywhere in my profile?...

Cauliflower

 I decided to eat a whole cauliflower (steamed, and in a cheese sauce) for my tea.  Although I will run an increased risk of flatulence, cauliflowers contain high levels of potasium, as wel...
