About Me

Indeed but that doesn’t stop me from travelling around this amazing planet. I’m just back from Antarctica which blew me away and I feel genuinely privileged to have been down there.... if ever you get the chance to go.... just go... it will change your life. 2007 saw me live in Oman, Muscat in fact, which was a damm sight sunnier than the Isle of Lewis but the lure of wind rain drove me back and here I am back on the croft. I must be the only Leodhasach that left to travel the world (which I have with aplomb BTW) to seek fame & fortune only to be still skint and unsuccessful.2008 has to be the year that my six numbers come up trumps!In previous lives I have been a; mechanic, waiter, soldier, store detective, lorry driver, sailor, chauffeur, musician, roadie, tour manager, actor, Highland Dancer (Madison Square Gardens Dec '91, 25,000 people, solo spot, thank you very much) hotel manager (arrh... Duncan, there's wee people having a ceilidh at the bottom of my bed!), barman, postman as well as being a salesman selling nuts&bolts, fine art prints, kilts, fine wine, hovers, playing cards, postcards, salmon, mussels and even Persian carpets. Then I turned my field of view to the Middle East to become a tour guide..... It was the one job I hadn’t done so said feck it... why not!I am now back at selling seafood as well as being a fire-fighter, skippering boats and a crofter on Lewis. I did have slight ambitions to try my hand at other things like music & acting but since I was crap at both I decided to shelve that idea for another life. Why do people say "life is too short"? Life is the longest fucking thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
