About Me

So about me? Well let's try to be creative and see how you could already know me. Perhaps you know me as the Editor of a very fine industry journal, well established and often respected by our readers and advertisers? Perhaps you know me from my many ventures to London's fine live music establishments, for which I frequent to see many of the fine bands mentioned (and hopefully added as friends) on this very page? Perhaps you recognise me from my appearance as a Success Story in a recent issue of Weight Watchers magazine, ask yourself if would you be surprised that a man could not only lose weight but do so well that he gets featured as a result? Or perhaps, and most likely, you've never heard of me. You laugh at my non-celeb status and my pity attempts to make it on to the feeder show "I'm not a celebrity, get me in there", and stumbled across my profile and decided to add me to your friends or add a comment. Yep that's the one. Either way I thank you, and I'll drop the stupid language from now on too! MyGen Profile Generator.. width="425" height="350" ..
