! It's ME !


Hello there and welcome to all about me, with your host with the most, ME , Darren (hence the name Darren's HomePage, it took me ages to come up with that name !!)
Well I suppose I should get the boring stuff out of the way.

Age: 26 (And getting older !! ??)
Birthday: October 9th 1977
Star Sign: Typical Libra
Height: 5" 9.5'(yes the .5 is VERY important)
Weight: Not Telling so dont even bother considering asking
Favourite Food: Everything and Anything of a chocolate or muffin persuasion
Other: Sticks out tongue when working or concentrating !!
Nationality: British (although I have been told this isn't Politically Correct)
Occupation: Finally qualified as a solicitor !
Part Time Job: Nope no way, far too busy juggling work, love, life and the bloody family !!
Favourite Number: 4

People say the things they notice about me are :
a) my smile
b) I have nice eyes
c) my accent, as no one seems to know where I am from, even people from my own area at times, maybe it's all this international jet-setting !! ;0)

What I think:
I think I have a good sense of humour, although I can at times be FAR TOO sarcastic, and people always, well usually, appreciate my humour, I so try. I am however, pretty forgetful, and have been known to leave house keys in my car and all that stuff, so if I don't remember a name, don't hate me !! ;0)
I have finished studying law, and got a 2:1 degree. Now this may be hard to understand as this is a *good* degree. It is a B if you will, the best is a 1st, and 2:1 comes second, so I am happy with it.
I have started working at a law firm doing criminal law. That is, working with criminals.
What I mean is, I work in a law firm that specialises in Crime (I think that explains it), and so our client's are people who have been accused of crimes. So it is quite varied getting to go to Court as well as prison to meet people and take details from them. I will not go into further detail here but if you ask I will almost certainly start ranting at you.
I no longer have my cool little Fiat Panda which my friends affectionately called "Bella". I have also just recently parted company with my beloved VW Golf (called Peggy). It used to leak and not like starting in the winter but it was a good little runner. So instead I have now got a fairly new Seat Leon and I am enjoying being pampered with Air Conditioning and all the other modern things that you get on a car that isnt 17 years old !! ;0)
And so I finished my Law Degree, and got a 2:1 and I finished the LPC which is a solicitor training course !! And so now I am training to be a solicitor and enjoying it very much indeed.
So my past life, no not regression, but before University. Well I used to live in a tiny town that is half way between Nottingham (where Robin Hood comes from) and Sheffield (where "The Full Monty" comes from). But they moved and now live near the coast, which is where my brother, Gavin, lives still, working as a mechanic and spending his free time destroying cars.
SO what else ?? Well I love music and the movies. Some of my favourite films include "The Usual Suspects", "Se7en", "Sleepers","Grosse Pointe Blank", "Scream", "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" and quite frankly anything with Alicia Silverstone in it !! My favourite music has to start with anything by the "Barenaked Ladies", then everything from No Doubt, Sarah Mclaughlan and Jewel to MeatLoaf, Phil Collins and Sting. I know, it is a *WIDE* taste. I also enjoy talking (ask anyone) and quite frankly most anything. I am a bit of an internet junkie and I love getting e-mail and you're sure to get a reply from me (maybe not imediately but eventualy !!).
So I am a bit of an internet junkie. I can be found on ICQ, My UIN is 72121786 even though they have no idea about the real world and have no way to get back a ICQ number that has been stolen by some evil hacker.

I can aslo be found on AOL instant messenger (which is my only exception to my complete hatred of AOL) and also MSN messenger which is fast becoming quite popular

Or alternatively you cold resort to the tried and tested old fashioned method of e-mail !! ;0)
