About Me

"Genius, polymath, a great bloke, hunk" - I am none of these things. And that shouldn't surprise anyone. Least of all me. But somehow, despite (or because of) a conspicuous lack of musical talent, people have mistaken me for a drummer and percussionist. Call it luck, call it madness, or call it just plain, mad-dog stupidity, but reputable artistes, such as Pauline Taylor and The Profiles, let me play along with them. And until they come to their senses and chuck me out, I'm having a blast. But enough of my yakking! Welcome, bienvenue, wilkommen, g'day and selamat datang to you all.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music, fun, frolicking in a carefree way, photography (generally not the 'nudge nudge, wink wink' kind, but I could be tempted...) and competitive kitten fondling (non-league).

I'd like to meet:

You know who you are.

Music:

This week, as well as the fantastic music of myspace friends and strangers, I have been mostly listening to: Deerhoof, Ben Folds Five, Donald Fagen, Ennio Morricone, Dexter Gordon and Herbie Hancock, Bridget St. John, Steely Dan and various playlists 'n' stuff.

Movies:

Been watching: Brick, Pan's Labyrinth, Grand Prix.

Television:

Been watching: Peep Show - the only thing on tv worth tuning in for at the moment.

Books:

Our Ancestors (Italo Calvino), Max (Giovannetti).

Heroes:

Cockleshell, Telemark.

My Blog

But I won't do that.

No doubt, it has been pointed out before, but I would like to raise a Nelson Muntz-like finger and exclaim "Ha ha!" at Sam Allardyce's resemblance to Meatloaf. This was prompted by Big Sam's move to N...

Roll up, roll up! Get yer Monkey Kick off here!

For aesthetic reasons, I've decided to set up the Monkey Kick off game here so you can still enjoy the musky delights of a ball kicking monkey and everyone else can browse my profile in peace. Click o...

And now, science desk...

I realise that this may be old news, but it still freaked me out somewhat:"Scientists have written a message into the DNA of a living organism, a breakthrough they believe could lead to a new era of o...

A Message.

I'll write a proper blog at some point....

Santa drops a load.

I think that there's already been a bit of tabloid fury (who else?) about the design of Royal Mail's new Christmas issue 1st class stamp, so I couldn't help but join in with the festive banter and tak...

Vote for me. Part 1.

This is it. I'm running for office. I've become disillusioned with the current political systems in the world, so I've decided to breakaway and develop my own. In fact, it won't just be a new politica...

Does my blog look big in this?

The more observant amongst you (I know you're out there) may have noticed that I've spruced up my site a bit with a new colour scheme. I thought I might try to introduce some more muted, autumnal tone...

You what?

I have noticed, as is my wont as man about town, that Tuesday has become the new Wednesday. I mean, everyone knows that Wednesday is the new Friday, and that Friday is the new Saturday, but when did T...

I just don't know what to do with myself.

A bunch of us were in a bar in the Hackesche Hoefe in Berlin. It was a great place, but strangely secretive - you had to knock on the door and then a little panel would slide open to see who you were....

Aaaaarrrrgh!!

AAAAAARRRRGHH, I'M LIVID!! I'M TEARING MY HAIR OUT! LOOK! HANDFULS OF IT! Now I've got even less. *sigh* I was playing 'Bejeweled 2' ("a video game, yer honour...") on the 360 and grooving along nicel...
