I am here for Friends

About Me



I'm Asta (aka DarkHorse to some!) I live in Preston although currently working in Glasgow as a Graduate overhead line engineer for Network Rail (yes it is my fault your train was delayed!)

I recently bought a fantastic house in Preston that I'm busy decorating and furnishing spending a small fortune in the process, unfortunatley the boiler now needs replacing (donations most welcome!)

I own a 1970 Beetle Boris and I'm planning on building a beach buggy once I'm settled enough to build a garage on my house.

Love spending time with my friends, I'm missing so many people now I've moved but I've made so many new friends too!

My Interests

VWs! Fixing them driving them talking about them... Theatre too backstage, never on stage!

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, people I haven't seen in ages either because we lost touch or just because I've been crap since I moved!

Music:

The Flaming Lips is flavour of the month

Movies:

I'm liking cultural stuff at the moment (or at least I think that's what it's called!) Pride and Prejudice and Memoirs of a Geisha. Watched 5th Element again the other day - great film!

Television:

Neighbours, Hollyoaks, Causality, Holby City, Lost, 24 and of course Ugly Betty, we love her!

Books:

Reading Phillip Pullmans Dark Materials trilogy again.

Heroes:

Helen Sharman "Aim High"

My Blog

Miles of Smiles ... Hopefully!
