About Me

Hi, I never check Myspace anymore. That said hello if you are viewing this. I now work for the Heart network of radio stations in the UK.

3 Facts unusual about me:
1. I used to be a ball-boy for the RFU at Twickenham (I got free trainers)
2. I have appeared (admittedly only as an extra) in an Oscar winning film (I thought I was a very good German PoW - I had a shaved head and everything)
3. Staying with showbiz, I was once in an episode of Byker Grove (again as an extra) it was one of the highlights of my uni days though sadly I didn't meet Geoff

I am originally from Londonium. I have a degree in reading people's minds (well psychology actually but everyone assumes the former).

I own 3 pairs of trainers.
I rarely update this page. So sorry its a bit old skool!
