I'm a reluctant thirty-something UK man in Manchester mildly obsessed by all things film, comedy, media, music, dating, the internet worldlife.  and this thing we call

My friends would probably describe me as being someone with always something interesting to say that grabs their attention (for good or evil). I pride myself on my dark, dry, cynical and occasionally outrageous sense of humour. I can always see the darkly funny side of (almost) everything. Then again, if I can only see a lightly funny side in something, I’ll use that too. Whatever the tools are at my disposal. I tend to improvise and just use things around me instead - which can be far funnier. Either that or rip off lines from a stand-up comedian I’ve just seen and hope you won’t notice

Work-wise, I’ve been involved in the web content industry for 15 years, working for various broadcast companies including BBC Worldwide, BBC Wales, Granada Sky Broadcasting and World Online. Right now, I’m the Web Content Manager for GMG Radio in Manchester.

I’ve got a little of the ol’ wanderlust in me. I’ve lived in West London, Bradford, Baton Rouge, Cardiff, traveled all over the world (Vietnam, Egypt, Hong Kong to name but a few) and lived in the United States for a year. But I’m equally at home playing silly games and watching music videos, or reading The Guardian. Sometimes both - it’s amazing how flexible my fingers can be #

Film is an absolute passion of mine - sitting in a darkened room totally sucked into the vision or the story on-screen is just about one of the best ways to spend an afternoon. Then talking about it afterwards!

I seem to be drawn towards strong electronica music with a good beat (man), preferably with strong lyrics and strong female vocals. However, my preference for strong lyrics tends to leave out most dance tracks.

I’m a slightly contradictory mix of being able to name pretty much every kink you can think of (my first job was reviewing erotic books!), and at the same time being savvy enough to know the most dangerous/exhilerating thing of all is to exchange emotions.
