Have you ever been on stage?
Well those who know me semi-well will know that for about 5 years i played in a band, so was on stage quite a lot then, i have also “guested” with a friends band occasionally, however when i was younger at primary school, i was in the school play, i was in Bugsy Malone, I was one of the random boxers & a down & out – well i actually had a speaking part as a down & out, i was Babyface – wonder why they gave me that part, I think we still have a video copy of it somewhere and want to transfer it onto computer, IF and it’s a big IF, i ever get around to it, I’ll post it as a download for everyone else who was in it… And the year before i was in Bugsy Malone, i was in the Rose Queen at school, i was a Herald, i had to mime a trumpet blast and read a speech, this is also on video. AND when i was a high school, a friend was part of a drama club, i went a few times and ended up playing a giant in a panto, i think i had about 2 lines and 2 weeks to learn them..

My Hometown

Do you prefer to talk or text?
iPhone Keyboard I'm definatly a texter, i absolutly hate ringing people up, i'd much rather send a e-mail, text, tweet, i usually end up stuttering when i'm ringing someone i don't know, i also hate answering the phone… if it's someone i know i'm fine… It does annoy me sometimes that you have to have […]
Why I’m (Never) Going Digital
IMG_0096.JPG I've tried reading books on my iphone – i gave up trying, i do occasionally read camera guides and other technical things on a computer but, actually reading a novel, it doesn't quite work right… not sure if i actually got a ipad if it would be better as it's bigger but… until i […]
