About me

Gender Male
Occupation Writer
Location London, United Kingdom
Introduction I'm a 40 something gay man who lives in London and tries to see life through comedy tinted glasses! I'm hoping I can make you laugh, make you cry, or at least make you think! I'm a very sociable person and love spending time with my friends. You're as likely to find me wandering a gallery verbally shredding bad art with them as you will wearing a groove in the pavement, outside Compton's, verbally shredding bad people! I'll constantly take the piss out of myself as well as you! I'm Northern, so subsequently I'm overtly friendly, overtly flirtatious, overtly direct and outrageously cheeky! One thing is certain; you'll always hear me laughing!
Interests My friends. Food. Everything about it from shopping for it through to eating it! Literature. Both reading and writing. Art, especially Rothko, Kapoor and Hepworth. Film, all styles. Travel, I've been around the world several times!
Favorite Movies The Color Purple, Dune, X-Men 1 & 2 but 3 was awful! The Wedding Date, Cold Mountain, The Hours. Jumping Jack Flash, White Christmas, the list is endless!
Favorite Music All music, but especially jazz and philly soul. I love Jill Scott and Bebel Gilberto
Favorite Books Dry by Augusten Burroughs and Borderliners by Peter Hoeg
