Who is? and who isn't?

About Me

Is this the point where I try and make it sound like Im an incredibly fascinating and sophisticated individual? Oh well........A man for all seasons, a proud Scotsman, lived most of my days in the fair city of Inverness, recently been working in Holland, the US and now back in Ingurland. Enjoy the usual stuff, sound and vision, football, alcohol in all its various guises, travelling seeing new things / meeting new people, general hanging about (or is it called socialising?), blah, blah, blah. Love: Aberdeen FC. Dont Love: Rangers FC. And now, the profound and insightful part (!), a wise old man once told me, the hardest thing in life to learn, is what bridges to cross and what bridges to burn (good eh?) or as a great philosopher once wrote, naughty, naughty, very naughty ahahahaha!!!

My Interests

Football, music, socialising (drinking!), fast cars and fast women, Scottish history, film, literature, money, general loitering. Scottish Cup Final 1990
