Used to be in a band - played keyboards and sang. Also wrote all original songs. We were the masters of the Tascam 4 track - we could 'bounce' with the best of them. I still like to write lyrics - so if anyone wants to see a sample let me know. Like to think we were the Difford and Tilbrook, Lennon and McCartney, Tim and Neil of Chelmsford....probably more like Little and Large !
Going to gigs - best of recent - Divine Comedy Liverpool - Finn Brothers - Ipswich, Crowded House - Nottingham, Squeeze - London, BLUR - Southend.
Got an XBOX 360 - it's good to kill virtual things when you get home from work !!! COD 4 and Bioshock. Stops me killing the real people at work !!!

About me: 40 year old recruitment and marketing manager in Essex.
Originally from Brentwood.
Music and films are my passion.
3 Lovely children - AGED 12, 11 AND 8 - 2 Who live with their mum and 1 lives with us.
Married for the 2nd time. Gently descending into the abyss of middle age. Find myself listening to Wogan in the morning's and wondering where it all went ............. Janet & John rule.
My world is music, films (cinema at least once a week), good TV (CSI, DEXTER, ASHES TO ASHES), books (thrillers, Horror, SCi-fi, music biog's), drawing (graphic art) and gaming (Wii, DS, XBOX). Like to keep the old brain cells ticking over.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who likes intelligent films, books and music - it's good to use your brain ........ use it or lose it !
Thanks for the lovely comment, Chris, dear! I almost glued my eyes shut with the adhesive for the false eyelashes I was wearing! Don't think I'll wear those ever again!
Hey dear friend,sorry it's a while ago,but we were very busy with work and tests for Wesley. And painting the house,we had a renovation in our house,and now the outside . It was a big mess,but the inside looks much better already. Wesley was out of his doing,(because of it all),like we say so.
How are you and yours doing? And did you find another job?? I'm saving money to go to England next year,were we 're going to ??? I dont know yet,but it will be England,I miss it,it's a while ago we've been there.
How is the weather at your side of the Northsee?.overhere it's still warm and sunny,we are very lucky here,although it's not normal for time of year. It may stay till the end of December and then getting a bit warmer every month,hahahaha.
