About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Born in Leicester UK in 1961, the same year that Ernest Hemingway stopped writing books by trying out a shotgun on his tonsils. It was also the year the farthing ceased to be legal tender. That was a coin worth about the same as an inch of string, but as big as a dustbin lid. In 1961 wallets were very large, some of them were carried on the backs of donkeys. My parents were rich. They had two donkeys, one of them was solar powered and very cheap to run. The other one just ate carrots and farted. My early school years were spent in a small petting zoo, where visitors would throw pork pies at my unusually large head. It was a wonderful time full of happy beatings and unnatural experiments on my fellow pupils. Some have grown up to be cabinet ministers and others are drooling cabbages with no bladder control. The only difference between them is income. I consider my time at the petting zoo, to be a triumph. From there I attend St Crippins Academy of Aberrant Technology, where I won a first for creating the world's first portable battery powered bulldog clips, a big seller in the Middle Eastern torture business, and a second for writing the 1st draft script of East Enders. From there it was broadcasting for me! After several years at Britains finest broadcasting intuition, I finally escaped and became a commercial radio disc jockey. I currently pretend I'm competent between 3 and 7 weekdays on Coventry and Warwickshire's Classic Gold 1359. The rest of the time....Im drunk.

My Interests

Sarcasm and food, but mainly booze fuelled sarcasm.
a

I'd like to meet:

Would they want to meet me is the question. If they do, they'd better not be f**kwits.

Music:

Surrounded by it all day so I tend to switch off. Don't have any particular favourites, but I know what I hate. At the moment I don't hate Green Day, The kaiser Chiefs, Feeder, Goldfrapp, Panic! At The Disco, Muse, Snow Patrol, The Streets, Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scissor Sisters or the Zutons. The list goes on a lot longer because there's some very good stuff around. I have no time for "Gansta" based urbanised dross or what pretends to be R and B dance. Not a big fan of 70's disco either. I grew up in the 70's and it's overrated. "Disco" was crap then and it's crap now. Punk was OK. Enthusiastically incompetent but well marketed! Rant Over!!

Movies:

Popcorn movies! Big explosions and monsters. None of this emotionally charged crud, just a heads down no nonsense rollercoaster ride of mayhem. Bond, Aliens, Independence Day, XMen, Van Helsing, The Mummy films, Lord of the Rings, Hell Boy, King Kong, Dawn Till Dusk etc. Movies with high production values, sharp direction and a sense of humour. Shaun Of The Dead is a modern Classic. I have the tastes of a spotty twelve year old nerd with a loaded SA80.

Television:

Green Wing, South Park, Family Guy, Little Britain, Titty Bang Bang, Man/Woman, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, rolling news stations and good SciFi shows. In particular, I get nerdy over the TV and film work of Joss Whedon and Gerry Anderson. People will be watching Buffy and Thunderbirds in 100 years time. I Can't be arsed with all soap operas, all TV shopping channels and all football coverage. Lifes too short to care!

Which Doctor Who are you?
this quiz was made by Auntie Krizu(:)

Books:

I like colouring them in. Used a highlighter on a Gutenberg Bible and got 5 years.

Heroes:

Not likely is it? Respect several but no heroes. Quite like survivors and thoes who stand their corner.
