Lost in Translation!

About Me


OK, here goes, I am 5ft10 brown hair, brown eyes, and of slim build! I work in Manchester and live 10 mins walk down the road in Castlefield. My flat rules so much that its on a postcard for Manchester! I am an IT manager and spend my time talking technical bollocks before getting people to switch their computers off and on again! If this doesn't work I practice some percussive maintenance! (thats a hammer joke for the slower ones of you out there). I enjoy tequila far too much and can often be found stumbling around Manchester at some gig or other. I love live music. I also spend lots of time trying to learn Spanish so that I can travel around South America at some point in the future and have even taken up salsa lessons so that I can cut some rug when I finally get there. If I am not doing the above, I can be found in my flat probably with a guitar in my hands and if that fails will be either watching a movie or playing on my gamecube through my projector! I am permanantly single and plan to stay that way! Well for the next few years at least! I have a large social circle but am always interested in meeting new people. I am very friendly, quite talkative and slightly eccentric (according to a couple of my mates). I intend to have a good time all the time and generally do! I also have no shame and am generally up for anything!
