I am easy going, a bit geeky, and possibly a pirate.
My Self-Summary
Hey, I'm Ross. I like to think that I am a pirate and would love to
tell you I spend my time robbing from ships in the oceans but I
dont. Instead I live in the urban sea that is London, though I am
learning to become a black cabbie (it's not as bad a job as you
think) so I suppose I can take money from people that way.
I enjoy a range of stuff, from the internet, camping and attractive
architecture, to cars, shooting, mowing the lawn and watching
wildlife from time to time. I'm probably the only person in the
world that enjoys peeling potatoes.
Alcohol is good too. Ale especially.
What I’m doing with my life
Black cabbie training on weekdays and work for an Estate Agent on
weekends.
Aside from that, drinking tea, sleeping, not tidying up and wishing
I was Clint Eastwood. Or Brian Blessed.
I’m really good at
Crane machines with cuddly toys in them
Pouring pints
Driving, I think.
Cutting myself shaving
The first things people usually notice about me
They don't. I'm a ninja.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books -
Bernard Cornwell stuff, mainly the Sharpe novels. Most of the
discworld stuff is pretty awesome. Anything by Ray Mears. Other
odds and ends, such as A Brief History of Time, World War Two
stuff, books with pictures of big aircraft. I also avoid newspapers
unless I'm on the train or something. Short bursts of recipe books
for cooking ideas also.
Movies -
GoodFellas, LOTR, Indiana Jones, anything by Sergio Leone, Dirty
Harry, Downfall, Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, The matrix (only the
first one), first 3 Star Wars, Gladiator, The Godfather,
Schindler's list, The Day of The Jackal. Lots of war films, Kellys
Heroes, A Bridge Too Far etc. I love zombie films too. The first 3
Romero films, Evil Dead, Planet terror. Anything with zombies in it
basically. Indiana Jones 4 was rubbish.
Music -
The Eagles, Disturbed, Dr Dre, Eminem, The Who, Elton John, Eric
Clapton, Fatboy Slim, Linkin Park, Marvin Gaye, OMD, Prodigy,
Santana, Status Quo, Beach Boys, ZZ Top, Dire Straits, T-Rex,
Alestorm. I like the occasional bit of classical stuff too.
Essentially I'll listen to most music.
Food-
I do love food. The best meals are the one you cook yourselves
though. I like Chinese, Indian, Thai, pasta, bleu steak, roast
dinners, especially beef. Don't mind a bit of sushi every now and
then. KFC is my guilty pleasure. Fruit and nut chocolate is
brilliant.
Other stuff -
For TV, I enjoy Sharpe (actually anything with Sean Bean in it),
anything by Ray Mears (he is a legend), Air Crash Investigation, a
bit of Star Trek, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, QI, The
Simpsons, a few cooking shows like the F Word and great British
Menu, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Top Gear and the odd documentary.
I like to think I watch good quality telly, but I do occasionally
get caught up watching escape to the country or bargain hunt.
I quite like anime too, some of my favourites being Gungrave,
Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Full Metal Panic, Full Metal
Alchemist and Hellsing.
The six things I could never do without
A watch, sleep, a car, a pint of ale, friends & family, my
hands.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Where I want to travel when I have the money
What to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse
Celebrities I would like to punch
Space
On a typical Friday night I am
Drinking, usually at a pub or maybe at a friends house. Might be
out bowling also.
If I'm in, I'm probably still drinking at some point and watching a
film/TV shows/cooking dinner. I'm sure Guitar Hero would be in
there somewhere too.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm not gay, but I would be for Sean Bean.
You should message me if
You're bored, you can turn metal into gold or you just want a chat
