About Me

Erm... isn't this the same as interests? Oh well, I like listening to music, watching films, wasting time on the internet and drinking large quantities of Guinness down the pub (its good for you). I'm also into my scooters despite not being 16. I have two autos at the mo and would like to get a lammy at some point in the future, though lack of cash and not having anywhere to keep it are stopping me from getting one now. I also race my scooters at Straightliners Events. Last two years I have driven from York to Oudenburg in Belgium as part of the Darkside Drink it Dry Tour. Both top weekends, pics can be found in my gallery link below, my photoblog and there is a video from last year below this.
Lately I have been getting quite into photgraphy, bought a new DSLR last year and I have been taking even more pics of stuff. Just bought some cool new lenses recently as well, so should improve the quality of my pics a little. My gallery can be found here divuk83.net . Or you can look at my blog above, which is now being used as more of a photoblog.
Not sure what else to say as I can't be arsed to type any more and the more I type the stranger I sound.
Oh yeah, I hate football!
Best add my Facebook link on here as everyone else seems to be doing it!Dave
