I play five-a-side football for The Sonics at Goals in Beckenham. We currently specialise in back-to-back relegations. I support Spurs and Dorchester Town FC. I also like cricket, Somerset CCC are my team. Obviously I quite like music. I work for a newspaper. I read a lot of books.

Another Gemini born angel, I see? Thanks for getting the Spifire page going - this MySpace is a great free machine ... it's super, baby. Ah well, drop by the Spitfire page (Come on, get on it) and gimme ya good times ... until then, hey, go easy ... this rather pointless work avoidance message seems to have reached a dead end.
Happy Birthday Dude! come down to this and I'll give you your present.

All these dj's digging the crates for their party classics.
Happy Birthday Maaaaaaaaate!!!!!!! Hope it's a fireworkscracker (but not like the low-flying one that went off in the garden of No.19 that time). Hope you celebrate properly.. (Graham is all shaved around her neck with a 6 inch scar where her throaty-lumpy thing was.. yuk.. and she's not even grateful! the greasychinned-yipster-lemunch-ringpullhead- SCHMOOMIII!) gx
