I am here for Friends

About Me

I love music and gigs, my favourite live bands being Prodigy, Primal Scream (not so much the rock'n'roll stuff), Nick Cave and BRMC.I love animals, especially cats (small and big!). Hate any animal cruelty like hunting and the wearing of real fur.My favourite food is Thai - could eat it all day every day (well almost). Love coffee, especially lattes (but proper ones made correctly!!) and a cold glass of white wine.My favourite country is India and favourite city, well I think Rome would be hard to beat.Some of my favourite songs are "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead, "Life on Mars" by David Bowie and "Swastika Eyes" by Primal Scream and "Same Old Scene" by Roxy Music.
