Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond me

About Me

I'm editor of Europe's best-selling (and hardest rockin') guitar magazine, Total Guitar. It rocks. I try to rock as often as possible in order to keep up. I love Muay Thai (Thai boxing) and am currently training out of the Ramacamp in Bristol with Jon and Martin. I like hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I'm also a musician and currently play guitar and sing in a functions band. It's cheesy but fun and it pays okay. Anything else? Oh yes, I firmly believe that Hysteria by Def Leppard is the best album ever recorded by man. Nick, back me up, brother!

My Interests

Muay Thai, music, surfing, Friends of the Earth (www.foe.co.uk), mah jong, drinking tea

I'd like to meet:

Well, I've met Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, Jimmy Page and Kirk Hammett. They were all extremely cool. I like Beyonce. I'd like to meet her. And Sean Connery. Oh, and Mike Myers. He cracks me up. Who else...?

Fighting

Last night our trainer Jon and a few of us from the Bristol Muay Thai club went round to a kickboxing club in Bristol for an interclub (where you got to fight with guys from another club). The idea wa...

Wagons roll!

Wow, I've managed to avoid the booze for a whole eight days! It's been a while since I last managed that. How do I feel? Pretty damn good. Even managed to resist my housemate's raspberry Absolut and l...

To drink or not to drink

So here I am again on a Sunday morning with a bloody cold. A cold that rules out training for today and possibly the next few days. This sucks. I only have myself to blame, mind you. The TG team went ...
