A Bit about Me
| And it is only a bit, as well! I am quite a shy bod really and get very uncomfortable at having to describe myself to the masses. But not to matter - I am an intellegent cutie with a lervly smile and a pierced left nipple to die for. I am young(ish), down-to-earth, and although this is starting to sound uncomfortably like a singles ad, I am happily attached to my boyfriend Miles and the rigours of life in an old watermill, complete with roof-top patio garden! When I do get some time to myself, I like to relax with a good bottle of wine, put on the stereo (I am a music-maniac!) or else cuddle up in my futon with a good book and a nice cuppa tea!
|
| I'm 30, a bit of a vinyl junkie (as I think you may have already gathered) and am particularly into the artists on the 4AD Record Label (gus gus, Throwing Muses, Heidi Berry, Dead Can Dance, The Wolfgang Press - if that means anything to any of you). I treated myself to a real-cute stereo system when I graduated from my Pharmacy course in Manchester, and as a result now have to share my front room with my seemingly endless and forever expanding record collection.
|
| Music is not my only interest. I am also in to most things of an arty nature. In fact, you could say I'm a bit of a "culture-vulture." I enjoy strolling around the odd gallery and especially like London for this reason. When I'm not eyeing up the odd constable ;-) I love to do the restaurant thing (if it's got a pulse, it's lunch) and of course, what self-respecting gay man (oh, didn't I say??) doesn't enjoy a bit of shopping. Harvey Nichols and the Conran shop are current faves, and I have to admit, I do sometimes feel as though I am living the Ab. Fab. stereotyped gay lifestyle.

| My partner Miles whose lifestyle is, dare I say, miles away from any stereotyped gay one deserves a paragraph to himself I think. We met in the summer of '97 via the internet, funnily enough, and the help of a certain ex-shag and East End rogue made good. Miles is a bit of an intellectual sparring partner, a bit of a vulnerable cutie, a bit of a disarming psycho and a jolly good lay to boot; and as he is a doctor I seem to have some competition for his bedside manner. He is rather tall (and who says size isn't important), slim and a choc-o-holic - and yes he can manage the two alarmingly well, the bastard! He is interested in most things computerish, reads now and again (sometimes even something other than Terry Pratchett), likes playing games (in and out of bed) and used to have a ranking in Go (a Chinese board game) - clever sod! He also has succeeded in addicting me to Magic: The Gathering much to my bank managers despair.
|
| For those of you interested, I am a pharmacist and work for Superdrug in the East Midlands region (not that this may mean anything to those of you inside of SW5. I hope to put some useful Pharmacy or general Health-related links on, but don't really want to end up advertising myself or my page as some 'Early Morning Television "Doc-Spot." I will give my own (humble) opinion on general health matters though, if asked.

Up to date, New Year 2000
| Since we've managed to do over 2.5 years of coupledom we finally decided to go all the way for the millennium (well that is if you believe it is actually the new millennium - personally I intend to celebrate it again in style in 2001, just in case!). So off we went shopping and after much deliberation have finally bought a pair of matching white and yellow gold rings (who says romance is dead?!). So we can now nauseate everyone by being even more brazenly coupley (if that were possible) than before!
