About Me

Hi my name's Grant, but nobody knows me by this.....in fact when I write my name down I think "who the hell are you?"......instead everybody has known me by the exotic nickname of 'Grunter' since I was 4, even my own gran.

I've just come home after living in Holland for 6 months, which was a total blast. I think it's changed me in many ways: now I can do my own ironing, washing and food shopping...but it's also taught me that I hate it.

I've also learned how to manage my money since the student wage in Holland was as tight as a fat man's pocket, to the extent where the purchase of a bottle of vodka would imply 2 days of starvation at the end of the month. But then I did get the chance to see the likes of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Prague, Vienna and Koln on my travels!!!

I love partying with my mates and indulging in the merry occasions when shoes/money/boxers/brains/virginities/houses are lost, which is generally on a weekly basis! This year all the boys jetted off to Kavos, which added Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Magaluf and Ayia Napa (twice) to the depths of summer folklore.

I'm a big music fan and love nothing better than to be in the middle of a packed club with the DJ throwing a phat bass and me pulling all sorts of shapes: feed the pigeons, change the light bulb, pat the dog!!!

My Interests

Need I say anymore?

For the weekend:

Beer cones - invisible contraflow system surrounding a drunkard staggering up the road, allowing traffic to move freely around him without injury.

Escape sub - a technologicaly advanced brown sea-going vessel in which an evil hangover makes its getaway. an alcopoop.

Flush puppies - dalmatian spotted suede shoes that have been standing too close to the urinal.

Beer mugger - the person you discover has hit you over the head and taken Â£35 out of your wallet the morning after you 'nip out for a couple of pints'.

F**k all in a 5-year plan - an attempt to justify an extravagant purchase. 'i know strictly speaking we don't need a subwoofer on the stereo, but 800 quid is f**k all in a 5-year plan. now put the scissors down, love'.
Monkey feather - bizarre substitue for m***** f***** dubbed into eddie murphy films on bbc1 to avoid offending some stupid old git. also mother father, money farmer, melon farmer, muddy funster.

I'd like to meet:

I gotta say I'd like to meet Diego Maradonna and ask him just how he done those amazing things with the football and if the ball ever did touch his hand on the way in...hmmmmm! Proper legend though! I'd love to spend a day with Kristin Kreuk, probably the toppest chick ever...

Music:

I absolutely love old skool music like Rozalla, Livin' Joy, Robin S, Snap!, CeCe Peniston, Black Box, N-Trance etc but I also love Tiesto, Mario Piu, Tony De Vit, Mauro Picotto, Carl Cox, Lisa Lashes and anyone else who dons a pair of shades in Ibiza and works their magic on the mixing decks!! And who doesn't like Michael Jackson and those dance moves...just as smooth as Usher!!

But I do have another side to my music taste!! Yes, I have been known to listen to Frank Sinatra, Jackie Wilson, the Beatles, U2, the Manic Street Preachers, Travis, Simple Minds, Lyte Funkie Ones, Cypress Hill, the Darkness, Wet Wet Wet, The Calling, Texas, Def Leppard, Feeder and many more...I'm not all bass in your face!!

Movies:

Big fan of Mel Gibson and the Lethal Weapon movies, also hold a spot for Sean Connery as James Bond and Al Pacino as Scarface and generally anything he's in. Arnie's always a shout with that solid Austrian accent in the Terminator movies!! Then again...Team America was amazing and I've only recently added Anchorman and Napoleon Dynamite to my list of faves! but my all time favourite is Blazin' Saddles!!!

Television:

I love Frasier, Friends, Mr Bean, Blackadder and all the other funny things on TV!

Books:

I read different types of books but have the wierd tendancy to read 4 or 5 at the same time!

Heroes:

James Bond...gotta be! Anyone who gets so many booty calls in one mission and then has enough energy to kill the bad guy and save the world is definitely my idol!!!
