About Me

I live in a quant little hamlet called Newbury Park.I like music, it makes me happy. As does quintissentially British comedy. As good as Friends is, nowhere else in the world could produce the quite frankly bizare programs that we do. Brass Eye, Nathan Barley, Garth Marenghi, The I.T. Crowd, Father Ted, Spaced etc etc etc. Genius.I have a girlfriend. She is wonderful. Though she doesn't get my jokes. Seven years and she still doesn't get my jokes!I am Welsh. This means I am short due to the massive chip that has been on my shoulder since birth. I was, however, sensible enough to cut it in two and split the load over both shoulders so atleast I don't walk around like some sort of Quasimodo figure with one shoulder permanently lower than the other.I like to sleep. My natural habitat is curled up in the duvet in my bed. Which is unbelievably comfortable.I work for Paperchase Products as a Junior Business Analyst. This is despite my degree being in Psychology and a complete lack of Business or IT background. I have, it could be said, landed on my feet as my job allows for plenty of development and growth. I hope, however, that I will not be with the company in 18 years like my friend Matthew. Unless I'm in charge by that point.I will leave you with one final thought. Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast

Money is the root of all evil

I hate banks! Every month I go over my overdraft limit which, I accept, is my own fault. However, what I don't understand is why they allow me to go so far over my limit and then ring me up one day an...
