About Me
Hapless idiot bouncing from one disaster to the next. I've got no real inspiration to write anything here, and the idea of asking one of my friends to describe me just elicits the response "you're a twat", so I'm afraid you're either going to have to wait until I can come up with the goods to sell myself in a amazingly witty and suave manner here, or just go right ahead, dive in and ask me something.I notice I've stuck up pictures of myself solely in orange. Don't worry, this is purely coincidental as that's all I had to hand where I wasn't looking like a startled dugong - I stress my wardrobe is not chock-full of "earth tones". Ah, there you go, I've stuck up a picture of me at a wedding just for you, proving that I can scrub up ok when I decide to.You? Well, I don't have a preconceived idea of the "perfect match", but if you're the sort of person who switches to Eastenders because you don't want to watch the news, we're unlikely to get on for very long. You need to have a bit of get-up-and-go and be interested in the world around you and how it works. I'm quite happy to spend lazy Sundays with someone, I just don't want to spend them with a lazy thinker.Hobbies? Erm, briefly, cycling, karate, badminton, hard sci-fi, gigs, watching a smile light up my daughter's face (see that, bit of a soft spot there, yeah?). It goes without saying she's my priority, but she's a rather excellent little girl if I say so myself. She's got me sussed already - I'm the one in the playground going "Look at me! Look at me!" while she looks on in consternation and says "Don't be silly Daddy".-Update-Hmmm, ok, here's some detail which may well pigeonhole me or possibly give you the wrong impression, but bollocks to it:I'm a bit of an acquired taste; I try to keep the obnoxious misanthropist from coming to the surface too often, but sometimes I just can't help myself. Point me in the direction of a TV blurting 'reality' at me and I'll soon be frothing at the chops. Having said that, people who interest me and have unique characteristics tend to end up friends for life.My sense of humour is fairly close to the knuckle -I read voraciously -****(ignoring the bit where he went totally loopy though).I'm pretty technical and fairly practical with it too. This may make me a fearsome bore on a wide range of subjects, but very useful when your computer or car doesn't work (or more commonly, my own).I like to balance it out by being reasonably active -- it's too slow and stultifying.I've done the almost obligatory spend-a-year-travelling-round-the-world-trip. Maybe we can compare notes. Or I can bore you with tales. Or not.Music? Couldn't live without it, and I've got a wide range of tastes from Alphaville to Yello, though if I'm going to throw some bad shapes on the dancefloor it's probably going to be to some dirty filthy electro house or breakbeat - Deadmau5, Hybrid, Way Out West, for ***'n'B and garage are a massive no-no, and I remain to be convinced about dubstep... Preferably one where I emerge with my dignity and most of my remaining limbs intact.
