Fads, Liverpool, real ale, drums, jelly, Abstract art, Bergen, wishing I lived in the 70's, Adidas Superstars, Amsterdam, cycling, talking to animals, Glasgow, graffiti, camping, gigs, rambling, Beards, busting moves, running around the house naked, Melbourne, festivals, bird spotting (yes!), doing shit abstract paintings, seascapes, comedy, travelling, friends and family. Oh and the sound of my own voice obviously.

Some of you may have entered this realm to find me from my BBC 6 Music days, please stay tuned, as something exciting is bubbling on livefrommanchester.com - it's going to be the bollocks - free music, cats! And not a whiff of a heavily researched playlist.
Hullo, I'm Vic, I'm a statuesque lady of 31 who was bred in Blackpool - hence why I lack class.
I suffer from a superiority complex because I'm so tall, and always at the back of my mind lingers the thought "I do not fear you, for I could kill you...". I mean you no harm in reality, but always remember; I am better than you, as I can reach items from top shelves, play basketball, and could probably win a fight against a kangaroo. My polar talent is that I have unfeasibly small hands, so I can move a grain of rice from atop a jenga tower with staggering accuracy.
I cannot, however, pot hole in small crevices and have been known to become stuck for several hours (N.Yorkshire 1989).
In my spare time I like to bicycle, plan evil schemes, and plan not-so-evil schemes. I like to be a bit silly, cook, banter, drink coffee, get on my phat bike, entertain my friends, smile and take part in bad 80's dancing competitions. I maintain that you only live once, and therefore you should experience as much as possible, including salmon mousse. And TURN OFF YOUR TV!
