Does This Cloth Smell Like Chloroform To You?

About Me

I am a human hetero male, a lazy creative husband and father who is too large and almost exhausted yet trying hard. I am tattooed, computer literate, sarcastic, paranoid, sane, full of beans, punctual, appalling at time management, and a drinker. In short, a buffoon.
For many years I have been a part of the Skinbat Scramble, writing lyrics, fiddling with electronics, singing, speaking and banging things a bit for the ramshackle band of nicknacks, available for your viewing, listening and buying pleasure by clicking just here .

After trying (and failing) to get The Stoke Newington Dodgers and The British Museum motivated, I fell into a state of torpor which lasted until I was awoken by the kiss of the 21st century.
I am currently a small part of the extended family of improvisation and beauty known as The Old Dolphin Brigade , my little korg is at their disposal...
HOT HOT NEWS!! Oho! As of 1st October 2007 THE SKINBAT SCRAMBLE is BACK IN ACTION (night action), gigs (first one on 21st October); recordings; the works. Oh hell yes. New line up is Mark Eason, Gary Cook, Nicky Sarzi, Piers Eason with Carl Gent
MY VICTORIAN STEAMPUNK STYLEE BAND:
THE LIMITATIONS -
and their hilarious time-travelling antics in the 19th 20th and 21st can be found here!
It's very well worth it!

Oh! I almost forgot to say, if you want to learn paragliding, click here : www.learnparagliding.co.uk
This is my XBox 360 Gamer Card , how anal is that?
