All the lies you've been hearin' baby, they're all true

About Me

I'm from Newcastle in the UK (home of Newcastle United, Newcastle Brown Ale and Venom) but I don't have the accent so it doesn't sound like there's something wrong with me (only joking fellow Geordies...). My musical tastes haven't changed in ten years which is either something to be proud of or extremely depressing. I go with the former. I can also run like the wind. Anyway I'm about to move to Canada to work and study. Go Dinos!
