The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

About Me

I live on the south coast of England by the sea, at the moment I am working on four books, one poetry, Jump, Portraits and one zombie. I'm a portrait photographer in my spare time and my work can be seen at www.welcometothedarkslide.co.uk My band The Gherkins are currently working on our first studio album, "A night with the gherkins"! I'll fill this space up with more things later.

You Belong in 1974
If you scored...
1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!
1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.
1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!
1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.
1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! What Year Do You Belong In?
