Forest til half time, I'm Forest til half time, I know I am I'm sure I am I'm Forest til half time

About Me

I live in Nottingham with my girlfriend Amy and our (at present) 5 rabbits.
By trade I'm an auditor for Royal Mail, and also an Amicus trade union representative fighting the good fight against privatisation.
I also write about music and stuff for Drowned In Sound, Rock City, The Downloader and Contactmusic among others and when I'm not doing that I'm putting bands on in Nottingham and Mansfield as part of Nottingham DiS.
Oh, and of course, there's also football. Watching it (come on you Reds!!!!), playing it (Tiger Outt FC) and generally boring people to death about how great Forest used to be, how gash we are at present, and how Derby should be relegated to Division 4 of the Long Eaton Sunday League forever more.

My Interests

Rabbits, Music, Rabbits, Football, Music, Football, Rabbits....get the gist?

I'd like to meet:

The person who hacked into my account. Whilst I am carrying a kalashnikov. And a meat cleaver.

Movies:

Twin Town because Swansea really is a shitty city. Watership Down, Scum, The Firm.

Television:

Would've said Top Of The Pops but that doesn't exist any more so it has to be Alan Partridge and Nathan Barley. And of course, Hollyoaks.

Books:

Guvnors, England's Dreaming, Lost In The Woods, Passion Is A Fashion...the usual suspects.

Heroes:

Brian Clough - Legend, God, Genius. What more can I say? Ian Curtis - Number 1 icon. Nick Kent - Made music writing interesting and imaginative. Neil Pick - Because we all live in a world of... One of these is a lie, can you guess which...?
