I enjoy joking, laughing, laughing at my own jokes whilst people look at me in bewilderment.

Been to Australia a few times now, I love going abroad when I can. But alas because of what I mention below I doubt I'll be going anywhere for the next billion years.

Things I couldn't do without: Macbook Pro, iPhone (how did I cope without this before?!), books, comedies, a towel and numerous other things.

I am introverted, compassionate, and an evil genius

Working as the "IT Manager" for a print company. I am the only IT guy there, which has its good points and bad points. Job security is very good, but having anyone to talk to on the same wavelength is non-existent.

The job title is actually a catch all phrase really, if it has the slightest thing to do with anything computer related then it's my job to fix, set-up or install it.

Every weekend now i'm going out walking on the trans pennine trail, part for the exercise as I hate running and part just to get outdoors away from everything. It's quite liberating, I can see why people have canalboats. No hectic life.

I'm laying back, putting my feet up and letting the tide do the rest.

Trying and failing to learn German.

All I've really learned so far is that ich = is and nicht = is not.

That I am obsessive about all things computery, yep... I'm a nerd.

I've just finished reading Footfall, overall a fun read I thought.

My favourite book is Catch-22 yet conversely I have never finished it, weird eh?

Lots more, but I've forgotten the names. I'll add them as I check up on my book collection at some point.

I better add websites I visit since they are classed as reading I guess:

And plenty of others I'm forgetting.

If I go adding games I've played and like I may just go and break this website. Nonetheless to say, I like cake and it is very tasty.

(I think I may have missed some out)

The internet: Where else am I going to get porn?

Books: The great escape from reality.

Music of the Beatles: to relax to.

Companionship: To love.

Money: To pay for stuff (at least until the glorious revolution!)

Sex: When I can get it.

When i'll be able to get my mortgage paid off... :(

Absorbed in a book, watching a film/tv or relaxing with friends.

I've done plenty of fun kinky stuff, to explain in detail here would likely make your eyes pop out of your skull like a looney tunes cartoon.

You like my vague, yet strangely compelling profile..

You want to spout abuse at me, tell me how great I am, send a message to a complete stranger and so on.

You like Beatles Rock Band and wish to form a band upon which to become gloriously known the world over.
