Heavily influenced by square jawed action heroes such as Arnie, Desperate Dan and Fred Flinstone, I proceeded to cultivate that macho look. This was originally taken for my passport, for some reason it was rejected, to this day I have no idea what the problem was, at the time it really is a true likeness........

This was taken during my pin head phase, when Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were ridding the Universe of those meddlesome aliens. I proceeded to move freely amongst the masses, at this point I was living down South, I soon learnt that they are an ignorant bunch of shandy drinking tossers......quickly I moved North and sought sanctuary amongst civilised people.

Its Grim Up North! That's what any southerner will tell you. Listen guys don't want to shatter your illusions but, it's a myth we like to cultivate to keep you out.......contrary to the popular southern view, North of Watford is not a grey mass of smoke belching chimney stacks, men in overalls smoking pipes, drinking warm beer and discussing their whippets and racing pigeons........it's europe and the world in microcosm, a vibrant melting pot of colours, sounds, culture, art, history......."Old" meets "New" and "East" meets "West"....we have it all in abundance....the Northern Nirvana........our very own Xanadu....... Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh,...great cities, great people......the North is the heart and the soul of Britain.
