About me:
I’m Nathan, I’m 26 years old and I live in High Wycombe. I'm the guitarist and singer with Birdflu, a rocking punk/country/blues/hardcore/drone/grunge/metal band.
I work for a really great credit insurance brokerage in Marlow. If you ever need credit insurance, I'm your man.
I am a man of numerous foibles, I partake in recreational drug use on a regular basis, I am also intelligent enough to see the irony in that last statement. I can be found, on occasion, enjoying the odd pint of Guinness with my pals in one of Marlow’s marvellous drinking establishments. I still smoke despite the ban but I really should give up.
You will find that I am generally discontent with life. Unfortunately, Pessimism is a burden I am bound to bear. Occasionally, this discontent can lead me to write long diatribes filled with invective, swearing and sarcasm about whichever particular subject I feel has warranted my wrath on that day. Some of the regular topics you can expect to see in them include; Bono, Paris Hilton, people that I with work, current affairs and the government. These delightfully malicious ramblings can be found on my blogs page. I like sports, but then I’m a man so you probably knew that already. In particular, I like to go out and destroy my shins by skateboarding, even though I really should know better. I also like to play golf as much as possible, though I must confess, I am a bit of a hacker! I like to read or mong out in front of the telly with a beer. I just recently took up skateboarding after 7 years out of it and I love it, but I am still shit at it. That’s it really, I am essentially a very dull man.
Who I'd like to meet: Musicians, punks, rockers, hippies, burnouts, sociopaths, misfits, the dregs of society. Frankie Boyle & Bobcat Goldthwait they're fucking hilarious.
Rodney Mullen & Daewon Song.
Hi hi, it has been ages! Alls good here,after having a really busy run up to xmas with teaching things have quietened down for jan so i'm signing on at the mo and just doing private work, but will be back in full time work in feb... so all in all taking it easy and enjoying the lie ins!
Just a little update on Birdflu, the awful band that I am in.
Our drummer Phileas is still in the Antipodes, looking for Skippy and Rolf. In the meantime, Simon and I have recorded some downhome acoustic blues and some amusing acoustic takes of our racier songs. Look out for those coming to a website near you soon.
wow, i am amazed by thy skills with the plank with the wheels. tell jordan to get outta his mansion and play fucking bass with his band. bribe him with food or beer. or both.
Hey! How ya doin? How did he interviews go? Just got bak from Ibiza last night, was pretty awesome. I'm gonna be on TV tonight! Let the office know. 5.15 on BBC 2 - Whey!
Ha ha - I wish I was there as I would shout 'ha ha Nathan has just spunked himself like an excited puppy' really loudly. I would do that because I like making jokes at other peoples expense especially if your name is Sunny and you have infected my pooter. No, seriously that it is funny. Reminds me of a time I got marinade all over inner thighs on my jeans and it looked like I had a nasty accident and forgotten my tampax.
Tell Sunny he is a stupid mo'fo. I knew he would like something like that the twisted little knob. Still doesn't solve my pooter probs. This back-door trojan is giving me gyp. It's sounds like a bit of a gay virus - it came in thru the back door..
ello squire, been a while man. all good here, same old really. giving up the weekend job imminently so should be visiting the old manor much more often after that. how you been? don't suppose you're going to glastonbury?
if there's one life, apparently i should live it, what do they have in mind exactly? i mean if i clear my bank account and blow it all in vegas, is that 'living on the edge' or a massive fucking waste? what if i was really mtv and saved a bit and went on some really narly snowboarding holiday with friends would that be cool?, saving for it would be pretty shit and involve staying in for a while, now that would be a little reclusive and therefore not 'living it up'. where's my old age going to be spent if the government has blown my pension and i've spent my youth on booze and drugs 'living it up'? sitting in a decrepid damp shelter at 80 with fuck all isn't really living it up either but is undeniably consequencial of living 'on the edge' right? what the fuck am i to do?
Dear manager,
i recently purchased a chair. when i got home i found that it only had three legs. i would be grateful if you could exchange it for a new one as it is very hard to sit on. if you do not have another one, i would gladly take my cash back. i would be grateful if you could deliver it.
yours faithfully - Amin Rashid
