About Me

OK heres the bit about me,and if you think you can stomach it then please read on, well i am 6' 4" and have a slim build.I also seem to have lost interest in using my hair drier.I work as an Electrical fitter and i guess i am much the same as anyone else in that i work to pay the bills and have some fun with whats left. I am usually very easy going and i love a laugh be it on tv / film or real life.Was intorduced to myspace by my very good friend the lovely Samantha and whilst on here i have managed to pick up a friend or two along the way.Luckily for me they all seem like perfectly nice people:-).I'm a lifelong Partick Thistle supporter and go along to all home matches.Also an avid fan of rock music(see music section) Send my pics and video to your cell phone!

My Interests

This could be a very short section.I like going to watch my football team-Partick Thistle F.C. I go along with my son every other week to the home games and occassionally we travel to away matches.Listening to music is a big part of my life and wouldnt make it through the day at work without it--even if it is Clyde 2I took up road running about 6 years ago and i am still doing it,although i have been slacking off lately.I have also done cross country running and find that the worse the conditions the more fun it is. I have race at most distances from 5km's to full marathons.I have 3 full marathons under my belt and would like to do more.I like using a program on the internet called Paltalk, its basically a chat room with added extras like video conferencing etc.I like going into music trivia rooms and have been amazed at some peoples depth of knowledge in music.I have a little bit of an interest in computers, and i like fiddling about with them.However Samantha has told me to stop fiddling and says nothing good ever comes of fiddling lol.

I'd like to meet:

Would love to meet my good friend Samantha, i must owe her a million hugs,a few Newcastle Browns,some top notch Chilli and a packet of Hob Nobs, or was it Jammie Dodgers? Would be nice to meet any of my other myspace friends.Would like to have met Marilyn Monroe just to see what she was really like, and also Laurel and Hardy when they were in their heyday.Of todays celebs there is no one in particular that springs to mind, but as long as they made decent conversation and didnt talk of "me me me " all the time, then yep i would like to meet them.Would love to meet a real Tiger probably best if it was a cub lol.I think they are magnificent creatures.

Music:

I love listening to music and i will listen to any kind of music.I mostly listen to rock music and just in the last 2 years i have started going to concerts again.Here are just some of the bands/artists i like-Sweet/Queen/Status Quo/ Eagles/Whitesnake/Journey/Iron Maiden/Rush/Gary Moore/ Zutons(thanks Sam)/Muse/Coldplay/Green Day/AC/DC / Aerosmith/ and of the newish bands The Fratellis get my vote.I have been trying to compile my top 100 albums and singles but its an almost impossible task, i think i will need to call it my top 100 singles and albums up to the date i blogged them lol. My fav single of all time is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and my fav album of all time is Back In Black by AC/DCBackwater-Status Quo

Movies:

Best film for me is Shawshank Redemption followed by Blazing Saddles/Life Of Brian/Gothika/Devils Advocate/Warriors/Young Frankenstein/Stigmata/ Escape From New York/Blues Brothers/Oklahoma(really loved this in my younger years)/Laurel and Hardy Movies

Television:

Fall and Rise Of Reginald Perrin/Young Ones/Only Fool And Horse/Fawlty Towers/Red Dwarf/M*A*S*H/Nature Programmes (david attenborough )/ Dave Allen/ Our Friends Up North/Shameless/ Auf Wiedershen Pet/Cheers/ Hill Street Blues/Friends/Morecame and Wise/Absolutely/Not the Nine O'Clock News/A Kick Up The Eighties/Chewin The Fat/Still Game. Just a few of the tv programmes that i have enjoyed over the years and still do when they get repeated.

Books:

Fav books eh! well theres How To Get Rich By Robin Banks and Tiger In The Bed By Claude Bawls lol seriously though mine are---The Lord of The Rings/Dune anything by Stephen King and most autobiographies,have just finished "Black,White and Gold" the Kelly Holmes story and its well worth a read. Also cant let this part pass without telling you all that my friend Samantha writes wonderful poetry, you should read it sometime.

Heroes:

Anyone who gives of their time freely to help those less fortunate than themself
