Hi, I guess I should tell you all a little bit about myself. A good
friend once described me, as the most responsible irresponsible
person he has ever known, but then I've also been described as
a conundrum, a
paradox & even practical. I shall leave it to you to make your own
mind up, as you read on, & take a small glimpse into what is my
world…

Humour |
|
I like to think that I have a very good sense of humour, a little on
the dark side perhaps. I spent my informative childhood years
listening to & watching the likes of Tony Hancock, The Goodies,
Monty Python, Jasper Carrot (before he became shite), & later on,
Not The Nine O'clock News. A couple of US sitcoms also spring to
mind, WKRP in Cincinnati & Soap. At the moment I really enjoy the
political satire of Have I Got News For You & Drop The Dead Donkey,
the dark humour of Six Feet Under, the true to life tales from Billy
Connolly, & of course I do enjoy Friends & The Simpson's. My
comic strip humour comes from the likes of, The Far Side, Calvin &
Hobbes, Garfield & Doonesbury. I would
like to point out, that I found The Office & Lee Evans to be just
awful beyond words. This is not a complete list of my comedy likes &
dislikes, both have far to many to list here, but you can get the
general idea.

Ridiculous Things I Have Done |
|
To be fair, some of these should be put down to not knowing any
better. Like these times when I was living in Singapore, once I took
some time out to go collecting with my blue bucket, only to return
to find that my mother really didn’t appreciate the fine collection
of highly poisonous bootlace snakes that I returned with, or the
time I was found stood with my toes over the edge & looking down
from the roof of our thirteen story flat complex. I should point out
that I was only three at the time, so perhaps you can see a pattern
of no parental control starting here.
Around the time the Berlin Wall was starting to come down, I was
sent on a five-week training course with a small electronics company
in Hamburg. On one of the free weekends the guys took a vote,
borrowed a company pool car & we took off to Berlin. Our first port
of call once we got there was a bar of course (OK we visited a lot),
after a few beers, it was decided that we should take a look at the
infamous “Wall”. We did the usual tourist thing for the time, buying
small bits of the wall as they were being chipped off, then I came
up with an idea for a great photo opportunity, so the guys gave me a
boost up, I climbed up onto the wall, & then proceeded to dance
around, much to the amusement of the crowed that had stopped to
watch, but not to the East German boarder guards, who then proceeded
to chase me (in my very drunken state) along the wall. I was soon
caught & escorted back from the east to the west.
