About Me

Video of the week
Darth Vader in the Canteen
I aim to live... So far... So good.
hmmm... about me.. ok.. let's see shall we... erm..i dunno... how about.. a trusting but wary, helpful, big hearted kinda person who notices everything and anything...Loves Mash, Mash made with sweet potato and Mash Sandwiches..do you have a spare one?? ooOooooh..
Having said that.. and reading it through again.. i can't actually remember the last time i had a mash sandwich... but i DO remember they ARE nice!!! especially if you mix in some flavouring of some kind.. maybe a little 5spice or something... actually.. no.. not 5spice... but something along those lines.. even just peppered could be nice... anyway.. i might also be Sarcastic, but not much.. could also be described as a tiny bit of a techno geek who kinda knows his way around a computer, puts his left sock on first, methodical, daft, childish, mountain biker, boulderer (is that a word), climber, night owl, comical, charity fund raising (but let's not mention it), deep thinking, contented kinda fellah who has a weakness for chocolate fingers (no... not poopy fingers... the cadburys ones). i'll also eventually get around to finishing the decorating in my Kitchen, although in all fairness.. there's only the floor to level out perfectly and then the laminate to throw down... its just finding a moment when its dry and warm so i can use the levelling compound etc... trouble is i get tempted to play out on my bike even more than usual when it's nice... i'm still 'landscaping' the back garden (read into that: hacking away at the long grass and not doing much else) and rigging up the indoor bouldering wall.... which will EVENTUALLY take up two walls of my living room... or 'front room' if you're common like me. but don't hold your breath please.... ooh play out on my bike instead you say... yes.. certainly.. Thank you Caller.

My Interests

Mountain Biking, Fettling/Tweaking (see previous), Climbing, Driving, Helping, more stuff...plenty of Charridy Fund Raising too....mate...

I'd like to meet:

old friends... anyone who knows me.... anyone who wants to know me for genuine reasons.. not because you're a spammer and you think i'm stupid enough to add a profile which has the exact same waffle in the about me section as the other nine billion spam profiles.. anyhoo.. come say hello.. but message first please.. don't just assume i'll add a profile for the hell of it..
