About me: Spend the last few years writing music fanzines including Shadders? on me Lungs? (once seen never forgotton due to the ace name from the original Alfie) featuring some of the best bands in the UK. Then mid 2006 I joined the dotcom world and created Shaddersonline.
When not listening to the finest indie guitar noise I like a beer or two and chill out to some sports. Love Football including Manchester City and local boys Doncaster Rovers and a bit of baseball, visiting yankee stadium a few years ago was awesome.. lets go Jeter indeed!

Who I'd like to meet: Already met my all time hero, Colin Bell (hey I was named after the City legend you know!). I'd also like to meet John Lennon - but not yet!!!
Hmmm, I think I’ll put a little story of mine here as the way to say hi…uhmmm, which I think I already did:).
Anyway, this one is called Bottle-Returning-Machine:
”Inserting a bottle, inserting a bottle, inserting a bottle…”
Goddamn it PT, not so fast, they can’t handle your bottle inserting skills!
“Inserting a bottle, inserting a bo…” “UAA-UAA-UAA” sounds the alarm! Oh great, now the machine broke down!
“What did I just tell you, you imbecile?” asks Mr. Richard Head…inside my head obviously.
On my right, there is another bottle-returning-machine, I don’t know
the English word for this-> so it’s a bottle-returning-machine:).
Anyway, on my right, there is another dude “Inserting a bottle, inserting a bottle, inserting a bottle…”
Goddamn it Another Dude, not so fast, they can’t handle your bottle returning skills!
“Inserting a bottle, inserting a bo…” “UAA-UAA-UAA”.
