I am 28

Living in sin with my girlfriend, no kids as of yet but the lady is getting broodier by the day.

Smoke too much, plan to give up but doubt i have the willpower at the moment.

Drink rarely, but when i do often in excess.

CC is my second attempt at starting a business tried recruitment just before there was a recession (so not particulary Smart)

Currently work full time as a manager in electronics.
Before that subbed myself out for electronics work and worked at tesco's as a stock controller for while.

Not religous at all, but respect that others can be.

Went to college for 3 yrs did IT got a couple of dimploma's , sadly IT diploma's are like a**eholes , it seems everyones got one.

Over eat and concerned i am losing my hair too soon for a twenty eight year old.

Come on the rest of you spill them beans. Well done to those who have spoken up its nice to find out a little bit more sometimes.
