About Me

One of us is from the North of England. He kept himself sane in the '80s by spending 9/10ths of his pocket money on Electro twelve-inches from Mike Lloyd's Music. The rest would be fed to arcade games - back when the arcades were for amusement only.

The other is from the South of England. He also used to spend a lot of money being amused in arcades.

We met on an Internet forum for people with synaesthesia, which we both suffer from/are blessed with - to varying degrees.
