I gravitated to London just over a year ago from the depths of the Welsh Valleys, and ended up as a lab technician after a long time being a post grad. Lefty environmentalist, science lover (esp Biology and Chemistry), plant enthusiast (but not as green fingered as I'd like. The poor houseplants...), lover of science fiction/fantasy especially Doctor Who, player of board and card games, and collector of elements of the periodic table.

Harbouring ambitions to be an inspirational mad chemistry teacher.

Chemistry, I like looking at really old text books and manuals and saying 'I bet I can do that'.

Doctor Who trivia, a lot of it.

Random but useless facts on all sorts of things, but they're rarely any good for pub quizzes.

Saying words in a really Welsh way

Playing along to Pointless, one day I'll apply to the show just to win the trophy, sod the money

Alphabetising things and arranging books and stuff by author or colour.

Having minor accidents, I can't help it.

Getting lost.

Being found.

Spotting old buildings and places of a certain atmospheric feel and labelling them what I call 'Cthulhu chic'.

My unmanageable hair.

- Books are a tough choice, one of my favourites is the Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, authors including Heinlein, PKD, Jack Vance, HP Lovecraft. I like some Doctor Who novels, I've never read a Star Trek novel. On my to-read-soon list are Keep the Aspidistra Flying and The Catcher in the Rye.

- Blade Runner, Brazil, V for Vendetta, 2001 a Space Odyssey, the Dollars films, The Wild Bunch, Kill Bill, Moon, any science fiction B-movie of dubious quality. That's a grim list of films, there are comedies I like too, honest.

- I like some comic books, my favourite heroes are Daredevil and Deadpool, my favourite villain is the seldom seen Stilt-Man.

- TV shows include Doctor Who, Blake's 7, The Prisoner, Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica (new), Firefly, LOST, Sherlock, Buffy.

- On the Radio I like listening to the News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just a Minute, and I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue. I once went to see the recording of So Wrong it's Right because I'm a big Charlie Brooker fan.

- Musically I'll listen to all sorts but my overall music knowledge is terrible, I like David Bowie, Muse, Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, T-Rex and an assortment of 70s and 80s things.

- I like Indian, Mexican, Italian foods, usually spicy things. I have a bit of a sweet tooth too and like chocolate from time to time.

Science experiments for young people, Spaceships, Doctor Who continuity, Magic the Gathering, tasty cheese, generally odd things about everything.

Also, why I can't help quoting films and TV on the answers to my OK Cupid questions, is that too nerdy?

Having a few drinks with workmates to relax or occasionally playing games. It's not adventurous admittedly. I prefer to go somewhere or do something fun on the weekend really.

I can't stand the texture of sponge.

You're interested in the pursuit of science, planning the revolution, fighting the undead, investigating the mysterious mole people of the Underground or, at a push, playing Settlers of Catan.
