I'm a huge fan of music and film. I love to have something on all the time, although I sometimes enjoy the quiet.

I like my exotic animals and currently have 3 snakes, and 2 completely non-exotic cats. Whilst the animals are great and I adore them they are not a substitute for human companionship, which is what I am looking for.

I'm fairly quiet, but when I get going or something hits a passionate spot it can be hard to shut me up, the same can be said after a couple of beers.

I tend to have 2 modes, my default quiet wallflower, or talking your ear off and spouting random facts.

Working for a computer games company, doing support work. I am trying to work out what comes next and where I go from here. I am debating a change of country and a move back to my old job of bar/pub manager.

Outside of this I am a gamer, inline skater, star wars fanboy and someone who really likes to experiment with food. Food is something I explore as much as I can as I like to try new things and am constantly on the look out for new ingredients.

Going to as many gigs as I can, and most I have to fly to London for. I am just waiting for the full headline tour dates for NIN! In the meantime I am seeing Depeche Mode at the end of this month!

Cooking and creating food in the kitchen. I love being able to play with flavours and see what i can make. Food is fun and should be treated as such, and so should be experimented with. I have cupboards full of spices and herbs and the like and love trying new things all the time. Lemon and ginger ribs were the latest success.

Being relaxed, knowing stupid little facts and procrastinating. Oh and missing out on the signs that someone likes me - you need to basically hit me with it like a bat to the face.

You would have to ask them but most likely my height, being 6'3" and officially just short of being an actual giant!

Nothing and everything. What comes next.

If the Tapeworm album will ever truly surface.

At home with a movie on with a good home cooked meal. I work early on Saturdays so rarely go out Friday nights.

I have a pacemaker, and have done for a long time. I am used to it and all the questions it can provoke.

- you have a recipe to share
- you can discuss more than one subject
- you like the idea of afternoon tea
- you want to talk
