A self-indulgent page about ME

(This page isn't very imaginatively designed yet. But it will be eventually. Probably.)

If we go chronologically.....

I was born on 8th Feb 1982 and this is a picture of me when I was little. As you can see, I was blonde once. At this time, I lived in Poole in Dorset.

I have an older brother called Andrew. Here is a picture of him performing a 'rad' move on his skateboard (as we used to say back in the heady days of the 1980's). He's now much older and wiser and has disregarded his skateboard. And replaced it with a BMX. He works in London doing something that involves numbers.

Some years later, (I can't be arsed to be particularly specific) we moved to the little village of Bishopsteignton in Devon. Bishopsteignton is too small to appear in The Knowhere Guide but the nearest town is two miles away and is where I went to school. This place is the decayed seaside resort of Teignmouth.

Not interesting fact: Teignmouth once featured in a NatWest TV commercial that depicted an sleepy (or rather, asleep), rainy seaside town with no shops open, ever. Strangely enough, it was praised by many I know for being stunningly accurate.

This is a view of Teignmouth Pier. A great place for not winning money on those stupid 2p pushing machines.	More of Teignmouth. Incidently, I stole these pictures from the 'Official' Teignmouth Website without permission. So don't tell anyone that you've seen them...

Teignmouth has a significantly large number of pubs considering that it is a relatively small town. Local legend has it that it was once in the Guinness Book of Records for having the highest number of pubs per person in the whole country. On the other hand, there is only one nightclub, and I use that term loosely. If I say that it's called 'Hot Bananas', I'm sure you immediately get the picture.
Teignmouth's local newspaper is called the 'Teignmouth News' (original, isn't it?). It is a haven for rubbish local news stories and some of our favourite headlines from over the years include, "HOUSE BURGLED, NOTHING TAKEN" and "SIXTEEN PAIRS OF KNICKERS STOLEN FROM WASHING LINE". Our favourite stories include one about a crate of milk being stolen from outside a shop and one about a banana being used as a fake gun in a robbery (there's a hell of a lot of inbreeding and people could well have fallen for that...)

I have some friends in Teignmouth (no honestly, it might be hard to believe, but I do):

This is me (left) with Eleisha (right). Eleisha likes peas and dreams of a day when we'll have centrally heated paper and fields of hair to make ties from (and you think I'm joking...)	This is Emma. Nearly. She does exist, I'm not making her up, she just doesn't want her photo up here. We used to do lots of drama together. In 7 years we managed to play parts as each others sisters, mothers, children, best friends, evil best friends, enemies, alter egos, husband's mistresses and even husbands.

Claire, Bella and I did a lot of music together at school, especially singing. We formed a jazz, acapella, comedy, barbershop trio (again, you *think* I'm joking...). Luckily, it meant we were able to share the occasional mortifying experience together.

I'm currently at university in Cardiff. My imagination is seriously running out now and I can't think of anything to say about Cardiff. It's nice. Will that do?

I have friends in Cardiff too (yes, even with the severe lack of wit and coherence that I've demonstrated here, I've still managed to get people to talk to me. Actually, I prefer to say 'take pity on me').

I live with my lovely housemates Sophie and Tim. Sophie likes nice tops (especially black). Tim likes barbecues.	Holly

Hmm. I do actually have more friends than that here (honest) but no photos of them. Have patience and they may arrive sometime.
