As for myspace, just staying in touch, saying, displaying and keeping informed. Here alongside friends, people in similar circles, people thinking similar things, those admired and those that caught the eye.
Outside of the day job and apart from being shyt on the kareoke i'm an easy going, music heeed, vinyl junkie, djay, sneaker freak, watch meister and LFC'r. Amongst many things enjoy chilling, over doing it with friends, a good giggle, socialising, parties, music, films, concerts, meeting others and generally getting out & about......and of course ladies.
Anyway thanks for checking the space, have a nose around & go easy
