Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold, shed by thy warriors who served thee of old.

About Me



World-weary bisexual male, rapidly tumbling out of his twenties and hating it, but keeping it at bay by excessive use of womens anti-aging creams, and acting like a juvenile. Overly patriotic but not xenophobic, love Europe but think the EU smells like a dead haddock, political but in despair over the standard of our politicians. As you can imagine, I spend a lot of time despairing. Fortunately I'm saved by a strong sense of the ridiculous!

My Interests

Ancient Rome ,Angels, British Empire, Burlesque, Cabaret, Colonial America, Countryside, Decadence, Egypt, Elves, England, Fantasy, Germany, Gothic, Hammer Horror,

I'd like to meet:

Really I'd like to meet a gay blonde guy between 18-35 with a comfortable fortune of his own, and a family estate somewhere rural and unspoilt, who wouldn't mind looking after me, two cats, and a ginger lady who likes ice-cream inordinately.
Sadly, a quick browse through MySpace doesn't seem to turn up many of those gentlemen, so I suppose anyone else with a sense of humour, who doesn't take themselves too seriously, or have bizarre hair over one eye like Phil Oakey from the Human League!

Boooooooooooored...

So bored in fact, that random drivel on MySpack comes as rare and refreshing fruit. I have nothing to say, and no-one reads it, but never mind, eh? I've done little today, but fall asleep in the world...

A final rant..

On the LGBT/Catholic church collision over adoption. No, it's not nice that the Catholics don't think we'd make good parents. But they do good work with the most disturbed and hard to place children, ...

Return of the exile.

Just looked at my e-mail, found one from my esteemed mother, who is apparantly off to Las Vegas for a week! God only knows how, considering she's in debt up to her eyebrows. The miracle of plastic, on...

Ruth Kelly the hypocritical old hag, and a peer with a cool name.

I really think I ought to stop reading the U.K news, it doesn't do much for my stress levels. But recently there has been yet another fine example of why I loathe the Labour Party so much.We now have ...

Rants, both foolish and serious..but largely foolish.

Karmen was taking more pretty pictures of herself, and came across a video blog I made a while ago, but had forgotten about!What was disturbing was that she said, in all seriousness, "I didn't look at...

Booze I have known..

So, since my last two posts have been of a serious nature (and, as per usual, got very little comment! I shouldn't bother showing I have a brain, people clearly only like me being a silly-arse), here'...
