About this Member

I'm a thirty-something bloke and I live in comfortable squalour on the Isle of Man with my wife,daughter and two cats.

I picked up a Dooyoo card at a show and I've been hesitantly offering a few opinions since. In general I hate opinions sites because you only see positive opinions from fans, and there's often a need for balance, but Dooyoo seems to be getting it right (though woe betide me if I gave a negative opinion on anything "Harry Potter" related).

Likes : Monty Python, sunshine, turkish pastries, smiles from my daughter, good books, good bikes and Sunday mornings in bed.
