About Me

I was born on a rocky outcrop of the Welsh coast and then quickly abandoned. Rescued and raised by wolves only to be eventually hounded out of the pack by a vindicative Alpha Male. I quickly moved to London (you move quickly when being harried along by a pack of angry wolves crazy with blood lust) and lived under a bridge with a family of nanny goats for a while before turning my hand to journalism only to find that I rathered the company of angry wolves and wet goats to most journalists I met. These days I produce (that's a word that covers a lot of sins) radio and fall asleep on public transport like I've been struck by a rock. ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

Shooting men in Reno just to watch them die.

I'd like to meet:

more bridge dwelling goats, fewer journalists.
