About Me

I won't be using this MySpace account as anything more than an E-mail facility between myself and friends, so please don't send me a friends request if I don't know you. It's nothing personal, just want to minimise the number of bulletins I have to read through on here. If you do know me, but have unrecogniseable photos, you might have to jog my memory as to who you are (my short term memory is terrible - must be getting old...).

I work full time in the TV industry as a production coordinator, and occassionally I freelance as a casting assistant for TV commercials. Weekends I work at a veterinary practice that specialises in birds & exotic animals. I used to run an TV extras agency called Generation Xtras, specialising in goths/punks/tattooed/piecred people, but closed it down due to a lack of regular work for such types, hence it was not proving very cost effective to upkeep.

I play bass guitar with a band called Adoration . Please go and check us out, and if you like what you hear, please add the band. Ta.


Each year I organise a picnic for Cure fans at 'The Hanging Gardens'. Please see The Cure Picnic MySpace for further details.
My other interests include exotic animals, mostly birds and reptiles, and I spend a lot of time learing about their health, welfare and behaviour in captivity. I have written articles for publication in hobbyist magazines before, and probably will do again when I have some time.
Friends, please can I ask that if you leave me an image comment on here, please don't make the image too large, or else I'll delete it. Thanks. :)

All of you lot.
