The verdict's in, Frank... but the jury's out.

About Me


I live in the greatest city in the world, Manchester, and when I'm not busy doing my Maths degree or cleaning my damn house, I enjoy going to gigs (including helping out with my brother's band ) and surfing the net, as well as eating food and breathing air. I also love mucking about with computers and wearing really baggy jeans.
When I am not in wonderful Manchester, I like to go travelling, in particular around the rest of the world. My favourite places so far are Poland and Switzerland, only partly because of the food. This summer we travelled to Mali, and visited Timbuktu and saw some hippos. I enjoy hanging out with friends, if I can ever get them all to stay in one place long enough, and especially going to nice non-smokey pubs with scampi fries and decent quality real ale.
I am a highly enthusiastic member of MUSC , the Manchester Caving Club, and we meet up regularly to go to the pub and crawl through small holes. Sometimes, we crawl through small holes *at* the pub. Which is ace.
I customised my MySpace profile myself (jeez people, it isn't hard) and the tiley background was from a truly awful selection of backgrounds here .
Thankyou for visiting my MySpace page. I have been told by several people that it is pretty neat, and that I should check out their website and buy things from them. I hope you have enjoyed looking at my profile as much as they did, and that it has been a magical journey for you. I also try to blog every day so feel free to read above about my adventures in the land(s) of maths and rock, with occasional booing and lots of procrastination. Peace dudes!

My Interests

Sums, music, holes, pubs, sci-fi, dressing up, hugs, the internet, gigs, travelling round the world, crippling innuendo, clambering, punk knitting, hair dye, falling over, computer games, cookery, pirates, ninjas, snakes, planes, zombies. In that order.

I'd like to meet:
