About Me

Born in Kent, September 1975 (yep, I'm an old codger), raised till 10 in Hampshire, my family and I moved to London in 1985, where I have lived ever since.Didn't do too badly at School, did some college, before working full time for a video rental company. Spent 12 years working my way through the ranks there, before joining an internet start-up. Redundancy beckoned, so I quickly found work as a video buyer for a very well-known mail order company before getting hired to work for a DVD distributor. I'm currently working as a content editor for a web-based business, and am based in the City. I enjoy my job and the company of those that I work with. While I'm always happy to meet new people, I do dispise many of the people that live in London - the city is crammed full of rude, arrogant individuals who have the deluded notion that the world revolves around them. I dislike bullshit artists, those that think they're better than others, racists/biggots and generally anyone else that get's off on being mean to other human beings.Everyone else is invited to the party!Check out my Group here:http://groups.myspace.com//italiancrime

Lucio Fulci's Perversion Story
