About Me


"I'm Mr bad guy, yes I'm everybody's Mr bad guy
Can't you see I'm Mr Mercury"
Music biz whore, media devil, sometime human being, dancefloor murderer, soul destroyer, wannabe chef, amateur hairdresser...honourary disco workout freek. badman, wall of contradictions, poor mans trisha/oprah...keeper of the secret, true pop fan. Lover of life. Hater of people (generally) AND yeah its true - I am fletch...Last year I was mostly addicted to Ebay, The songs of freddie mercury, old disco records by larry levan, Celebrity Love Island, being a fool in love and buying marc jacobs clothes I cant afford. I begin 2007 sombre, reflective but ready for new challenges and experiences. The marc jacobs thing seems to have carried on too..Last but not least."I love my mum and I love my dad"
"I spoil my lovers terribly. I like to make them happy and I get so much pleasure out of giving them wonderful, expensive presents, but then they end up treading all over me. When I lay myself bare on the floor it just seems to be my downfall."
Freddie Mercury

My Interests

I specialise in reinventing the contemporary malcontent. Hating civilisation..bringing back the yuppy...and morphing into Patrick Bateman. I like looking after people. Filling out quizzes. Spoiling my goddaughter. eating chocolate when i shouldnt. i get too many taxis. fuck it. im young at least im not a bum like pete doherty.

I'd like to meet:


“In the event that this fantastic voyage should turn to erosion and we never get old . Remember it's true, dignity is valuable but our lives are valuable too” - David Bowie

Most of all i guess it would be nice girls that get a bad rep in the press like Lindsey Lohan & Tara Reid, good solid human beings, Mandy Moore and other cute American girls, eighties throwbacks but generally all my favourite girls who are in US Weekly, Teen People and ting. Big up the peeps who were with me on the ascent, im counting on all you mofuckers for the decline. R.I.P. Dirt McGirt & Christopher Wallace & Richard Pryor & Freddie Mercury.
oh and R.I.P.too to James Brown. Sexytime in heaven motherfucker!!Most of all I would like to spend time with the most special people in my life..

"Boy, those French: They have a different word for everything! " - Steve Martin

"In my defence what is there to say? All the mistakes we made must be faced today, It's not easy now knowing where to start, While the world we love tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song

How can I try to right the wrong? For just a singer with a melody,I'm caught in between, with a fading dream"
