: About Me

My passion is ...

My family.

I know too much about ...

Football (soccer) - and my beloved Manchester United.

My parents always told me ...

To work hard and do my best at everything.

My childhood ambition ...

To study law at Harvard and be a successful US lawyer.

My favorite memory ...

Sailing around the Greek islands on a 49' yacht as a 15 year old.

Why I write ...

I enjoy it, plain and simple.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Just finished watching Studio 60 on the Sunset strip. I'm devastated it's not getting a second series. I'm a massive Ben Folds fan and am usually listening to him.

My first job ...

Really it was a newspaper delivery boy, as I did that from age 12. My first 'proper' job was as a salesperson in a major UK PC retailer.

My best moment ...

When I was 16, I was studying Music and at our end of year brass band concert my music teacher played a piano composition of mine which received an ovation from the audience.

My inspiration ...

I used to work for a CEO who rather than being motivated solely by profits, dividends and bonus payments cared about people, customers and integrity. He was an inspirational leader but I don't think I have one inspiration in life.

Enlarge me up to cup size D, A sexier, bustier version of me. My nose is crooked, my face has sagged, My eyes are surrounded by great big bags. Make my face look twenty-three, A brighter, tighter version of me. With age, come wrinkles, and crinkles...
