Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

About Me

I’m an easy going guy, sometimes it’s said too easy going. I’m currently in the very slow process of applying for a visa so I can be with my wife in the States. I enjoy reading, writing and I’m a bit of a movie bore; I’d love to write screenplays for a living, you never know if I ever get time I could write my masterpiece!!! My worst trait is trying to please everyone all of the time. I have to learn to say NO."Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."Henry Van Dyke

Music:

What don't I like!!! I'm probably an indie boy at heart but love my Funk, Dance and Jazz. Will always have time for Blur as they've possible produced a track for any type of mood I'm in. Other bands include Happy Mondays, Black Grape, The Kinks, The Charlatans, David Holmes and the Free Association, Elbow, Gorillaz, U2, The Prodigy, Faithless, The Boo Radleys, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, The Levellers, Muse, The Stereophonics, Oasis, The Presidents of The United States, Kula Shaker, Kaiser Chiefs, Damien Rice, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Magic Numbers, The Ceasars, Massive Attack, Marlena Shaw, Mylo, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shuggie Otis, Skunk Anansie, and Turin Brakes. Phew (I haven’t just copied down all of my CD collection honest)

Movies:

Donnie Brasco, True Romance, Casino, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Goodfellas, Lost in Translation, OldBoy, Snatch, anything by the Coen Brothers, Itchi The Killer, Trainspotting, Broken Flowers, The Hitcher, Crash (Not the Cronenberg one), History of Violence etc. etc. The only films I don’t enjoy are RomComs (taking a girl to a soppy film is worse than Chinese Water Torture).

Television:

Don't seem to get much time for TV at the moment although it's on 24/7 in my household. When I do, I watch Shameless, 24, (Totally addicted - don't speak if it’s on!!!), Only Fools and Horses (Cause it reminds my of Oly who’s gone walkabout), Lastly Planet Earth is amazing... If there is one thing the Beeb does well its Natural History Programs, Attenborough you rock.
