About Me

What can I say? I feel fantastic! :-) I have two great kids, a beautiful wife, my own business and a good roof over my head. And all because of a bad motorcycle accident when I was 17, that changed me physically and mentally for life. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking. Be lucky ;-)a href="Under construction"Under Construction"color:black;background-color:red Under Construction"

My Interests

Motorbikes, Football, and then every other sport going.

I'd like to meet:

The Pope, Valentino Rossi, Kevin Schwantz, George Michael,The full Man Utd squad down my local pub, Roberto Carlos, Claudia Schiffer, Victora Silvstedt and Cameron Diaz.

Music:

Mainly Rap, R'n'B, and nearly everything else!
Click through my ipod below to listen to some of my favourites. They are as follows: Track 1 - My all time favourite rap song "Ice Cube - A good day", Track 2 - The first gangsta rap album I bought. I nearly wore this muthafu**ing cd out! "N.W.A. - Straight outta Compton", Track 3 & 4 were my two favourite songs from bands that I was well into in my mid teens "Stone Roses - I wanna be adored" (beware long intro) & "Happy Mondays - Step on", Track 5 - The biggest musical thrill I ever saw was Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk to Billie Jean live in concert. To have grown up with him and see him perform live is a musical experience that will never be matched. Greatest entertainer alive "Michael Jackson - Billie Jean", Track 6 - My all time favourite dance tune. I only ever listen to this if I can play it LOUD! Then when I do and it crescendos, I get goosebumps on my arms :-D Faithless - Insomnia (club mix)", Track 7 - My all time favourite summer tune. Made for chillin' or crusin' with in the heat "Will Smith - Summertime", Track 8 - My more recent favourite summer tune. Just love it "Snoop Dogg & Pharrell - Beautiful", Track 9 - Just my favourite tune recently (great video)"Jay-Z - Show me what you got" & finally Track 10 - Is for me the greatest love song ever written. Its an old song performed more recently by one of my all time favourite artists. It is sung so beautifully and the lyrics are such that nearly every time I hear it, my eyes proper well up because of how happy it makes me. The words describe precisely how I feel about my wife, which is basically after 13 years of being together, I am still madly and deeply in love with her "George Michael - The first time ever I saw your face"

Movies:

Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Scarface, Jackass & Life of Brian. Basically any Tarantino and Comedy.

Television:

Sky Sports, MTV base and reality TV.

Books:

Anything by Terry Pratchett

Heroes:

My grandfather Tom who fought in World War II. Proper hero.
