About Me

Hopefully, in time, you will find out about what I am like by my writings. Before then though I feel I should tell you all a bit about myself, if for no other reason than to put my experiences in context.

I like bullet points sometimes – Here are 10 things about me:

• I am an English teacher with 3 years experience in comprehensive, inner city English schools.

• I am very impressionable and have been called ‘faddy’ (As in, I sometimes get into fads, not to be confused with ‘fatty’. I collected Pokemon cards, football stickers and Pogs as a child and never got a complete set of any of them. I have tried, and failed, to go on the Atkins Diet, and every time we get a training day at school about some new initiate, I will love it and use it for at least a week, if it was presented to me by someone charismatic.)

• I am a fussy eater

• I cannot live without certain things – Manchester United games on the TV, an internet connection to play online poker on, a few popular science books, English tea (will have to get used to putting the ‘English’ prefix in there) and Cigarettes – although I hope to stop when I start work.

• I like to socialise a lot, most people take ‘socialise’ as a not-so-clever euphemism for ‘drinking’ – In this case, well done. You saw right through me.

• I like to do things. I cannot stand doing nothing for more than a day. I like to be out and about and I enjoy other peoples’ company. I would rather spend a day with someone who I have nothing in common with than be alone.

• Some people say I have an addictive personality, and after looking at some of the case studies I think I admit, just, that I may. (Cigarettes, poker, the gym, Gran Turismo)

• I really enjoy being able to teach young people things that will help them in their future lives.

• When I grow up I would like to be either an actor, a stand up comedian, a magician or a rock singer.

• I am 26 years old, I am single, I don’t have any children, I have dark hair that needs a cut and a beard that needs a tidy up. I love holidays. I am 12st 11lbs and looking to lose another 4lbs. I am English.

Hope that gives you a bit of a picture of me. If not – see below.
