About Me

Hi I'm Rob, I decided to join myspace because....well I'm drunk! what better excuse. I'm currently living just outside Bristol and working as a hotel manager until I can pay off my new 20grand car (damn me and my need for speed). I like to think I have a good sence of humour but I'm not sure my friends would agree. I'm currently single, mainly because when I don't have the beer goggles on I'm incredibly shalllow, but enough about me *wink wink how you doin?*
I love anything new and am open to any new experiece. If I see something I would like to do I will just go and do it - why wait? I'd never been to Africa so I packed my bags and went, I tought myself to play guitar and to speak Spanish. I know a man who recently died at the age of 103, if I learnt anything from him it's that I don't want to reach old age with regrets of not doing things when I had the chance or not having a life story to tell. So I try to live my life to the max, I spend a lot of my free time rock climbing, going to rugby matches and losing all my money play poker with my flatmate.
I share a Birthday with: Open golf champion Padraig Harrington, singer Van Morrison, Irish international footballer Ian Harte, actor Richard Gere and Rush Hour star Chris Tucker - GET IN!!! It's also the aniversary of the first death by automoblie, first victim of Jack the ripper oh and death of Princess diana.
