I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Following my professional football years in Kent , I embarked on what was to become a successful TV career in London, bringing the likes of Zoë Ball , Andi Peters, Phillip Schofield and Jamie Theakston (sorry) in to the hearts of the nation's children.

Still only in my late 20s, I retired to Cornwall in 2000 and find myself near the sea in sunny Penzance . Alas, due to an administrative error I am unable to draw a pension, and consequently I am obliged to undertake forced labour (Monday - Friday only) . This takes place in the cultural and music capital of Cornwall, Penryn .

In my spare time I am an internationally renowned designer. My idiosyncratic take on traditional British styling is a particular trade-mark, but I also have time for the more flippant .

For fun, I illustrate comics .

I am currently licensing my name to Maximo Park 's lead singer . Ker-ching!

You don't know me.

My Interests

m u s i c, sitting in the park, staring at the sea, sailing, the female psyche, my LOVELY MATES, National Trust gardens, architecture, festivals

Goals

I aim to... be a great dad, have an open plan house with lots of glass & wood in the mountains, maintain a good work / life balance, ski in the Andes, go to Japan, maybe find some land to build a house some day. Well, get someone else to build it for me.

Likes

cinema, festivals, food, glorious food, hills, honesty, Indian food, laughing, my children, parties, records, smiley people, snow, stars, sun, Thai food, the sea, water

Dislikes

dog shit, corporate imperialism, deforestation, George Bush, pettiness, rain, Tesco, Margaret Thatcher (yes, still), the arms trade, the price of beer, the price of petrol, thieves, Tony Blair, unnecessary packaging, vandals

What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract artsy people!

Those free spirited artists with great imaginations find you interesting. They are usually interesting themselves, so its not a bad thing, but they CAN be a bit wifty and choose odd goals. If you like life to always be a bit 'different' from the norm, but not too extreme in any one direction, these are the people for you. If you seek logical decision making skills and good money management, you may want to change something in the way you appear. Artsy people are fun for adventure and exploring, so, have fun! (smoking weed helps too)


You also attract unstable people!

Be gone ye demons!

I no longer have 13 friends. In fact there appears to have been  huge rush of friendship, because I now have no less than 15! Not sure I can cope...

Save me. I have 13 friends.

I'm not the overly superstitious type, but 13 friends might just upset others visiting my profile... and that would be Bad. So, if you know a good candidate  friend, please let me know. Ta.
