About Me

This is my first submission, so here's a little bit about me.................

Born in 1975, and raised in South Shields, I suppose I've always been moderately popular, and was hardly ever bullied, although, to look at me (6'8" beanstalk) you would assume I was heavily and systematically, on a daily basis after register, attacked, spat on, and for the duration of classes, made by the teachers, to stand in the corner.

I guess my sense of humour (which I believe was inherited from my father) has been a worthy substitute for my appearance.

When I was fourteen, I had an operation to apply a steel rod to my spine, as I had acquired a curvature of the spine. a week being turned over and over on a Striker bed is top notch fun I can tell you!!

From the age of eleven, I was diagnosed with Marfans Sydrome (I have chosen to stay away from any further knowledge than I have now, so keep anything to yourself) symptoms of which, are (above) abnormal lengthening of skeletal structure, easier loss of breath in excersise, and I had to undergo an Aortic Route replacement at 17 (Aorta replaced with plastic valve) as in my condition, life expectancy is little over 30, due to tears appearing in afforementioned.

I have a son called Ben who is two and a half, and the most precious thing in my life. Tragically, he lost his mother, Kathryn to cancer when he was three months. I'm sure that his family and myself, have made his mother proud.

As you will no doubt discover in further blogs, I have a rampant hatred and vile disposition for commercial TV, and reality TV. Let's get the ball rolling eh!!

The next time you go into DFS take a big fat marker with you. When you see a couch with a price card on it saying "£749.... After sale price £1949!!" pick up the card, turn it over, and write "You lot are either conmen, or liars! Which is it?

If they can sell for £749 and still make a decent enough profit to stay in the black, in that case, selling for nearly two grand would be Dick Turpintime daylight robbery. Tell you what! The sale ends on Bank Holiday Monday, before then, pop in, and see how much 'couch x' is. Go back on tuesday (by which time there'll be a new sale) and see if the couch is there for £1949!! Theres the main commercial factor. It isn't a mega saving at all, it's "To good to be true" lies and deceit marketing bullshit! And while I'm on.......... Discounts!

Any fool can create a personal catalogue, containing a 'list price' which is basically a fantasy world price given to 'product A' lets say...... £400 for this coffee table, with a massive discount of 80%!! Don't be fooled into buying stuff because you're getting the deal of the century.. You're getting the same deal you'd get in most other shops. It's the bullshit that varies!!
