About Me

I work at sky sports, which basically means I have no life. I'm currently contemplating moving into an edit suite to save on rent, where Ugandan cleaners will keep me company and bring me breakfast salvaged from the dumpster...back in the day, I was a happy little child, content with re-runs of Super Ted and a 20p pick n' mix from the shop...oh how 3 months can change a person, now my time is mostly filled with sports (strange that) sitting, watching, waiting, tea and coffe, early starts, long days, log sheets, horrible sandwiches, angry security guards and long food orders...dont get me wrong, I have a lot of fun and the people, on the whole, are great, but 70 hour weeks are certainly not the way forward! I had friends once, honest. The optimist in me wants to be thankful for such a great opportunity, the endless possibilities and the job satisfaction of working as part of a team to deliver award winning live coverage of some the biggest sports to millions of viewers around the world...but i dont let him out much! Why would you want to be my friend? I'm too busy to talk to you!

My Interests

Ironically I have an unhealthy obsession with keeping healthy...When i'm not playing backgammon with my chums, I tend to spend most of my time either in the gym, playing sports or running - you cant beat a nice run in the countryside, the best way to get your thoughts straight in my opinion! Other than that Jaffa Cakes and yoghurt covered raisins. oh and travelling the world...but thats mainly to sample all the different varieties of jaffa cakes and yoghurt covered raisins on offer.

I'd like to meet:

Your Momma. Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay for their sheer comical genius! Rachel Unitt for her ball control. Cheryl Tweedy and Jessica Simpson, mainly to discuss politics and share our thoughts on the effect of Marx's idea of Hegemony and how it reinforces the base superstructure model of the ruling class's control over ideological and cultural production.

Music:

Anything and Everything, a few faves; Jimmy Eat World, Dallas Green, Dashboard Confessional, The Fray, James Morrison, Death Cab for Cutie, Frou Frou, Coldplay, Taking Back Sunday, Third Eye Blind, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Gnarls Barkley, Goo Goo Dolls, The Killers, Keane, Yellowcard, Matchbox 20, The Perishers, Richard Ashcroft, 3 Doors Down, Funeral for a Friend, Postal Service, Snow Patrol, James Blunt, Damien Rice, Embrace, Imogen Heap, R.E.M. Pink Floyd

Movies:

Crash, Dazed and Confused, Shawshank Redemption, The Goonies, Garden State, Bad Santa, Trainspoting, Jerry McGuire, Pulp Fiction, Human Traffic, Lost in Translation, Snatch, Napoleon Dynamite, Training Day, American History X, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, Old School, Anchorman. I'm sure more will follow as my brain starts to function...

Television:

The Simpsons, OC, Family Guy, American Dad, Scrubs, Peep Show, My Name is Earl, Chappelles Show - WHHAAAT? OKAAAAAY! Eddie Murphy RAW and Delerious - 'Alright Rocko, Alright Sly!'Prison Break, Little Britain...and all time favourite is probably the office and extras, damn that Ricky Gervais is a genious!

Books:

Anything by Ken Follett or Stuart Woods and everyone should read YES MAN by Danny Wallace, funnny shit!

Heroes:

The Hoff, Steve Irwin (RIP) and Dale-tantastic- Winton for bringing us supermatrket sweep!
