Wouldn't be MY post mortem beverage of choice...

About Me

I'm changing my profile picture, but I've not forgotten about little Madeleine McCann. I hope she is found safe and well, and that whatever happens, those who love her have a resolution to all this doubt and anxiety.

Let's remember all children who are missing.


Anyway, thanks for dropping by. I'm Sue, aka SueS, aka salomeuk, aka the sage - depending on where you may know me from!
I have two wonderful kids and have been married twice (and divorced twice!) Now very happily single and no intention of changing that, hehe!
I was born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and am a lifelong supporter of Manchester United FC. I still have family and friends in the area.
My sister and I grew up in Guernsey in the Channel Islands, where my mum was born. Both my children were born there too, and much of my family lives there still.
During the 80s I trained as a general and paediatric nurse in Surrey. Now living in Dorset with my daughter and our two cats... and also from time to time my son, but he's almost moved out since he began studying at Bolton University. I have lots of friends around various parts of the UK and wish I was able to visit them more often.
I currently work as a lunchtime supervisor in a first school which I actually rather like, and in my spare time I study IT subjects with the Open University.
My website is badly in need of an overhaul but if anyone is interested it's: www.suedavidson.co.uk Please sign the guestbook if you drop by - it'd make a pleasant change from all the spam I have to wade through every day!

Here are some of my other Internet 'homes':

Waddya mean - I'm an Internet junkie?!
Anyway while you're here, you might like to check out this fantastic, atmospheric video from Darren Hayes: Darkness, from his critically acclaimed second solo album The Tension And The Spark.

Get this video and more at MySpace.com


And here's the video for Darren's recent top 20 single, On The Verge Of Something Wonderful.

My Interests

    Music, TV, films Socialising with friends and family Going to concerts - particularly any by Darren Hayes or a-ha Holidays in Devon or Guernsey , and short breaks in Brum Manchester United FC Studying with the Open University Listening to the radio and bugging the occasional DJ with chatty emails... You know who you are! I've recently taken up Aquagym in an attempt to improve my health. I'm enjoying it so far!
I also frequent a few message boards, some of which I help run. Some of my favourites are:
    The Global Café David Tennant Darren Hayes - official site unofficial Darren Hayes forum

I enjoy doing puzzles, crosswords etc... although I'm not good enough to tackle anything really cryptic!

I hope that doing them, plus my OU courses, will help to keep my brain active. Although...Hmm, I always knew my brainpower was dropping as I got older!

I'd like to meet:

Well... Obviously, I'd like to meet Darren again. Darren, I'll shout you a beverage of your choice if I ever bump into you in my local coffee shop. How's that? (Don't worry, I suspect this to be a highly unlikely scenario, LOL!)

I'd also love to meet Steven Page, Ed Robertson and co from Barenaked Ladies, David Tennant, Kevin Spacey, John Barrowman, Russell T Davies, Zach Braff, William Petersen... but to be perfectly honest I know full well what happens at such times, ie I get terribly tongue-tied and either clam up completely or babble like an idiot. Either way I end up blushing profusely and feeling stupid, lol! So maybe I'm better off at a distance.


Music:

    Darren Hayes Savage Garden a-ha Barenaked Ladies (thanks Tim!) Semisonic

I'm also quite fond of some Scissor Sisters tracks. One of my favourites is I Can't Decide, from the Ta Dah! album.

Oh - I really liked the BBC mini series Casanova , by (the genius) Russell T Davies.

As for comedy - Scrubs is fantastic, IMHO.
Tim Vine and Dave Gorman are among my favourite people to watch, although I miss half of it for laughing!

Incidentally, if you missed ' That Mitchell And Webb Look ' - what were you thinking??! Sheer brilliance, need I say more? :-D

Books:

To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee

Psychoville by Christopher Fowler
