I'm one of those people your parents warned you about; mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Wandering randomly through life, singing along loudly (and generally off-key) to obscure rock bands and reading whatever happens to take my fancy. Selling my soul to the British Government in a roundabout, abstract sorta way - I could tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you and to be honest I'm running out of places to hide the bodies (and spoons! I swear there's a national shortage). Wrong in all the right ways, a little bit bouncy off the walls and always within reaching distance of coffee. Basically a few beers short of a six-pack, all Wonderbra and no promise. I am also an accomplished wine thief. Consider yourself warned.

You could PM me if you wanted to know more, however my advice is simply to run for the hills, folks!

And wear sunscreen.
