Literate herring , this way

About Me

I used to be in fashion and then I wasn't.....then I was in clubs and then I wasnt.....now I havent got a clue what I am doing ..

My Interests

making flyers for clubs that nobody comes to or are interested in...and drinking white cider, strong lager and pints of rose.....and of course every single girl that works behind a bar or in a bookies, you make my world what it is

I'd like to meet:

Old, jolly, roly-poly West Indian women who run to catch the bus and then spend the journey laughing loudly to themselves.....they make my day .Anybody with any practical ideas on how to tether 40000 bees to a roman chariot...
