About Me

Currently I'm stuck in a pretty lame retail job which is made worse by the fact I used to work on low budget films. I doubt you would have heard of any of them as they have titles like 'The Jigsaw of Life' but it was still a cool thing to be doing. So right now I'm just hanging around, working, drinking, listening to music and writing some things with various people...planning my escape. Good Burglars

A Christmas Gift

With all the advertising, greedy children and shops filled with Christmas stock from September, it's sometimes hard to remember what the season really is about; television. So, my friends, I offer you...

Neighbours these days...

Seems to me that Neighbours is pretty bland at the moment. Ned has to be one of the worst characters to come along since Sindy (although the prize may have to go to little Zeke and his flip-flopp...
