Movies

About me: I live in Nottingham with my girlfriend Amy and our (at present) 5 rabbits.
By trade I'm an auditor for Royal Mail, and also an Amicus trade union representative fighting the good fight against privatisation.
I also write about music and stuff for Drowned In Sound, Rock City, The Downloader and Contactmusic among others and when I'm not doing that I'm putting bands on in Nottingham and Mansfield as part of Nottingham DiS.
Oh, and of course, there's also football. Watching it (come on you Reds!!!!), playing it (Tiger Outt FC) and generally boring people to death about how great Forest used to be, how gash we are at present, and how Derby should be relegated to Division 4 of the Long Eaton Sunday League forever more.
Who I'd like to meet: The person who hacked into my account. Whilst I am carrying a kalashnikov. And a meat cleaver.
