Where am I?

About Me

I like chocolate macaroons, art that makes me think, Canon digital cameras costing over 800 quid, chicken and bacon sandwiches with mayo and lettuce from the Co-op, Flashdance with Jennifer Beals in her welders outfit, Sony Bravia LCD TVs/adverts, watching the sunset across the sea in the Italian Riviera while sleeping in a room made of glass, my bicycle.
