About Me


In no particular order: I tend to lie about my age (I don't give a shite really, I do it for the craic). I've got a wicked sense of humour and I use it. I live alone. I curse, but then all Irish curse. It's kinda part of our culture in a way. I don't drink alcohol, in fact I've never tasted it in my life. I don't smoke, I did since I was 13 but I went cold turkey in August 2005 and haven't looked back since. I don't like drunks, time-wasters, carelessness and cotton wool. By and large I'm a nice guy but I hate it if people fuck me around. I don't look down on people and there's very few I look up to. I hate capes and ponchos and girls with stick-insect mentality. I love beauty within. Beauty outside only is for shallow fuckers with fickle personalities. I love live music. Give me music every day and you give me sunshine, but give it to me live and you warm me right up! A band has got to be pretty crap live for me not to like them.

My Interests

Can't bore you with all my beautiful interests, suffice to say Favourite Male Singers - Chris Isaak and Tom McRae, Favourite Female - Joan Armatrading, Favourite Band is far more difficult - AC/DC, Pearl Jam, The Cure, Everything But The Girl, Led Zep, Boomtown Rats, Sex Pistols (and loads more). Favourite Albums - Ten(Pearl Jam), Grace(Jeff Buckley) and O.G. Original Gangster (Ice-T). Buckley for the sheer highs and lows of exaltation and depths of despair in his voice alone and thats BEFORE any of the music....for anyone who's never heard it just listen to the plaintive 'So Real' when Jeff sighs '... I love you, but I'm afraid to love you........'. Pearl Jam's Ten because it's the almost perfect rock album and OG because it's the definitive gangsta rap album full of passion (albeit maybe a tad misplaced). Special word for Teddy fuckin' Thompson maaaan! Am lovin' that new album!Favourite Single of all time - 'Red Light Spells Danger'by Billy Ocean for the fabulous soulful way he sings especially on the outro and Tom Jones's "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". Favourite Movie - Pulp Fiction by a country mile!!!!! Favourite book 'The Pillars Of The Earth' by Ken Follett.Strange interests - the Napoleonic Wars, Pitch'n'Putt, eating Farley's Rusks, yum yum!

I'd like to meet:

Music:

YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS ...... IT'S FUCKIN' GENIUS, I DEFY U NOT TO LAUGH!!!!!!!"A Million Ways" by OK Go

From their new album, "Oh No"

Television:

Don't waste my time with it. The news or soccer match maybe but thats it. Too much shite that I can't or rather don't want to associate or identify with.
