About Me

Ok,so I'm re-doing my whole profile to see if any of you lovely bods out there are paying attention.
Big mistake........I can't think of a single thing to fucking type now.......my life is that boring!!!
I drive a lorry for a living, I drive a lovely DAF Lo 6(have no idea what the fuck that means......some lorry driving geek told me that was what I was driving) It contains tar, and I drive said tar from place to place, laying it down and fixing all the little bits of road that Scottish power rather annoyingly dig up. Not exactly brain surgery,but a whole lot of cash,the risk of cancer and getting called a mink by some wee skanky Fifer kind of makes it all OK!!!
I used to work in a pub called Sportsters in Stirling and miss working there like crazy. The banter was great and I made some great friends.......this despite everyone hating my guts to start with......My charm and charisma will always see me through in the end!!!
I'm very popular......apparently!! If I don't sound sure that's because I'm one of those sad insecure fuckers who can't believe that anyone would like......too many Class A's in a previous life unfortunately. But there are times when the light shines through and I can enjoy peoples com.......FUCKING HELL!!!! THIS IS STARTING TO SOUND FUCKING DEPRESSING!!!!Happy thoughts.....happy thoughts.....happy thoughts.... hmmmmmm! Alyssa milano........birthday suit........wants me to come over...... hmmmm.......EH?!?!!!?Sorry folks, just kind of zoned out there for a sec!!! where was I? Oh yeah.....ME! my fav subject!!
My interests include........oh wait, there's a whole section down there devoted to that.......down there! over to the left stupid!!!

My Interests

My new thang this year(2006) has been to get into Kite Surfing.started flying kites.....who fucking laughed?...in Feb and progressed onto the water in June. You know that bit in Point Break,where Keanu's bird(but in truth she's a bit of a dog!!) looks at him after he's just caught his first wave proper and says
"You look different, It's like all the worry and the stress have just disappeared from your face"
Or words to that effect......I fucking hate folk who can quote films word for word!!! GET A FUCKING LIFE SADDOS!!!
Anyway, I was saying..... yada,yada,yad peared from your face....
I can fucking relate to that!!! Ksurfing is unbelievable!!! what a rush!!! gonna be introducing a whole host of peeps to it this year to let them taste what it's all about!!!
I play football too,though I'm currently out injured with medial and cruciate ligament damage. Hopefully I should be back for the end of Feb, but the way things are going I'll be a total lardass by then!!
And I DJ too........"how many cool things can one person do?" I hear you all ask..... I don't know tbh!! I'm just a cool fucker who doesn't even have to try!!!I've tried reading books and taking medicines to make me less cool, but nothing seems to work..it's a curse at times,but I'm slowly learning to live with it.
Back to the DJing.......I'm brilliant!!! NO! I really am!! I've played at the Rhumba club.....twice!! Nosebleed(back in my old Gabba days) three times, and also held a residency in the honeycomb in Edinburgh. I play NuSkoolBreaks which is the greatest type of dance music you will ever get to hear in this day in age......unfortunately, fans of this music are a bit short in supply north of the border....so I don't get any work.....It's my excuse....and I'm sticking to it!!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves the NuSkool Breaks sound!!!Don't like it yet?.....try http://members.aol.com/scottbpm/ and you'll be hooked!!!!!All the oldskool ravers out there!!!!you know who you all are!!! We all had something really special and it's great to talk over old times!!!! ................Stone Roses/Ian Brown fans.....plus the man himself if he's about!!! THE greatest band,with THE greatest frontman......EVER!!!!!!basically all the funny folks and cool peeps who I've something in common(or I find incredibly attractive;) )with!!!!!

Music:

Well I had written a story on my musical taste but it didn't really help anyone if they were looking for the links.....so here we go.....take II..... The Streets,Nu Skool Breaks,Oldskool Rave,Public Enemy,Duran Duran(shut it!!!),The Futureheads,Kasabian,Happy Mondays,The Stone Roses,Ian Brown,The La's,De La Soul,Beastie Boys,The Prodigy(though I have to confess,I preferred their very early stuff...i.e...the Prodigy Experience),Goldfrapp, I go absolutely wild for the Old Skool Rave as it brings back so many memories of a time that will never be repeated.. My favourite DJ's back in the day were....Carl Cox(played the greatest set I've ever heard!!!!)Marc Smith(before his cheese days),Grooverider,Easygroove,Ellis Dee,The Ratpack,Seduction,DJ SS,The Producer,Lenny Dee,Manu le Malin,Mark Newlands and many,many more plus loads of PAs,but the one PA who stood out were the Rythmic State......you should have seen them at the Event 2..........Andy Coccoza(apologies if i've spelt that incorrectly) has the worlds most infectious grin!!!! He truly looks happy, and most importantly grateful, to be up there entertaining the masses...his enthusiasm then rubs off on the crowd and the atmosphere is always cranked when the TRS do their stuff!!!! So what do I dance to today?I hear you ask.......Nu Skool Breaks......the only dance music that comes close to capturing the sheer energy of the early nineties........Plump DJs,The Rogue Element,BLIM,Slyde,Rennie Pilgrem,Soul of Man,Adam Freeland,Freq Nasty,Infusion,Dan F,......you need to check out their tracks..........you'll be hooked!!!!!if you want to give the breaks a try,try logging ontohttp://members.aol.com/scottbpm/

Movies:

Not a big movie goer TBH!!! will watch anything as long as it's enjoyableBest film......John Carpenters, The Thing.....quite possibly the scariest, mind melting film ever!!!!Who was infected? who wasn't?Just remembered........who's got a spare copy of CB4 kicking about?one of the funniest films I've ever seen.....and probably one of the most sampled too!!!Worst film.....several contenders but the Dawson Michie worst hour and a half of my life award goes to.......PRACTICAL MAGIC!!!!! UTTER S***E!!!!!! I do apologise for the profanities, but this film really got my goat!!!!!!!

Television:

Yep!!! a Panasonic!!!! nice black one with a remote control and everything!!!!

Books:

Anything by Irvine welchWould love to read 1984 by George Orwell but haven't got round to it yetoh,and the book I've read the most.......no surprises for guessing......The Stone Roses and the ressurection of British pop by John Robb

Heroes:

Ian Brown,The Producer,Kris Boyd(you know you're getting old when your football heroes are way younger than you :( )Keanu Reeves(say what you like about his acting......he's been in some pretty fantastic films!!)
