About Me

26 year old (...) yep, female living in Whalley Range Manchestah. After endless years of high educational performance, Efi Patrineli found her call in life.. A call that well and truly utilised her Law & Politics degree.. Finally when she was headhunted by the most notable firm "Rush& Butcher" she could not refuse. Nowadays, she spends most of her time meticulously and tenatiously cutting the fat off bacon with scissors. But this is not the end, for many more adventures anticipate this half Greek/ half "OMG don't even go there" woman.. During her last interview with GQ she disclosed that "I find belly buttons very interesting.. I would love to get involved with them in the future". Yes, shocking as it may sound, she was spotted by Paparazzi, leaving a seedy belly-button-fluf- picking society in the small hours sometime in mid July... more news of Efi the Incredible in next week's "Chorltonia issue"..I'm sooooo not funny! But I'm sure you get the picture now.

My Interests

Creative writing (ahem!), walking, camping, yoga, reading, french horn, piano, cooking, comedy clubs, and generally making really bad jokes.

I'd like to meet:

Darwin- I've got a couple of questions(?), Plato, Hitler, Lenin, Karl Marx, Chehov and Steven Hawkins. If that fails because a/. they're dead, b/. can't be arsed with me, then I would like to meet people with a good/dark (not in that order) sense of humour :)

Rubbish!

Well, it is true. I am utterly rubbish at everything. I can't hold on to a job, I'm lame, I tell really rubbish jokes. I'm eternally blowing things out of proportion, very bad at communicating stuff (...
