Lo-fi indie bubblegum punk pop music, The Manchester Rowdies Soccerball Club, my new mobile phone (it has a camera! and predictive text!), the internet, teletext, and saying "such and such is the low-rent version of such and such".
And opportunities to combine any of the above.

I draw pictures and play geetar and write songs about being in love and hellokitty and teen movies and record shops. I was in bands called Kolkhoznik, Fett, and then, finally, Jamie Fett. For both of you out there who want to hear these songs, I apologise, but I haven't finished recording a song since my four-track died in 2002...
I'm "studying" part-time "at" University for the second time, this time out not only am I doing English Lit(should be much more fun than Politics), but I'm hoping to actually get a degree at the end of it...
Who I'd like to meet: Nice people, people who like Helen Love almost as much as me.

Yo Yo Jamie. Obviously all town bike fan club decisions will be made by Huw, but I'm deffo incouraging gold membership - Y'know, so you can only get the first couple of rows at the MEN Arena if you're a holder! I hope you join, and I hope you enjoy it. Sarah/Town Bike x
