I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I personally opened the Greggs Bakery in Freshney Place Grimsby. I'm an avid Grimsby Town fan and have a wide spectrum of knowledge on the beautiful game. It can be 'embarrasing' the stuff that I do know on the subject. Topics include being able to name 'York City players when they famously beat Man Utd' how sad is that hehehe. Great weekends sees Grimsby winning,but the added bonus will be Man U not winning. I like listening to Radio Humberside and hearing so called 'Man U fans' on Radio 5 Live 606 phone-in. I also enjoy listening to Radio 5 football commentries. I love my real ale especially the ones which have bizarre and amusing names so i'm in my element when beer festivals take place. I have a great sense of humour and great smile to go with it. I believe it's not the quantity of friends it's the quality i'm pleased to say that my friends are just that :) quality. I deteste with great passion any reality tv shows and seeing these people being seen as 'celebrities' or 'pop idols'. I believe people who have either incureable diseases or disabilitys and don't let these problems stop them from performing great achievements e.g. running the London Marathon. People like this should be recognised more and not these 'idiots' who have the biggest ego and annoyance factor in equal measures.

My Interests

Football, Watching my home team (GTFC) Grimsby Town Football Club for those of us who don't know who they are, fortunes and screaming abuse at the management at his lack of substutions when clearly his tactics are not working when it's obvious to everyone in the ground except him (apparently). Discovering new words and their meanings and then incorparating them into conversation. Drinking Real Ales, the more hideous name the better e.g Butcombe,Numpty Dumpty (real names, trust me) Listening to music, most different genres and interesting covers of songs Watching DVDs not choosey can sit through most genre of films but won't watch a film that has already started if i switch on the tv or elsewhere, if i haven't seen it. Utilising my vast football knowledge to impress and bore people in equal measures due to it's varied content.

I'd like to meet:
