About Me

MyGen Profile Generator My actual name is Stewart...for those there in the back looking a little puzzled. (I know the rest of you got it already! ;) )

I live in Bournemouth, once sunny refuge of the youth-depleted and wrinkled of skin, now home to an excess of bars, pubs, taverns, wateringholes and drinking establishments and many examples of why mankind should be crushed into the dust under the gigantic weight of a Python-esque foot. But it's home and you know what they say...because you told me you do the other day. Don't look at me like that, you did! I heard you.

I've started up a gig/music review blog with my good friend Simon. Check it out at http://musicalmandate.blogspot.com/

My Interests

Going to gigs, buying tickets for gigs, remembering gigs, watching the goggle-box, bass playing, guitar playing, movies, laughing (not to forget belly-laughes), space and beyond, spending time with good friends. Photography has recently found its way into my life.

Oh such neglection...

This poor blog, look at it, it's starving for posts. Mind you this brief update will hardly sate it's hunger. World Cup was mildly disappointing and to be honest I don't think Italy deserved to win es...

United 93

What an emotionally wrought piece of film-making. My heart was pulsing, my eyes fixed and the adrenaline in full effect. Then at the end I was welling up. I really recommend you see...
