About me

Let me elaborate on those interests. Philosophy- I study the subject full-time and have nearly finished my BA and an applying for an MA. I'm interested mainly in free will, rationality and decision theory, which leads me onto... Poker- I'm an obsessive low-stakes player who has built a nice bankroll from nothing playing online. I want to move to playing live 100% and have enough to play in casinos now. My bankroll isn't enough to justify playing for monetary reasons so I don't pay for things out of my poker account. I'm only interested in re-investing it. Guitar- I play guitar but I mean this as my interest in music generally. I like music from Rammstein and The Corrs to Sonic Boom 6 and Donovan. One thing they all have in common are guitar. Other than that my taste is more diverse than anyone I know. I can make two top 15 lists of my favourite bands. The first list is of classic bands that are up there as a result of many albums. They are typically large and international bands. 1. R.E.M 2. Green Day (close 2nd) 3. Catatonia (my first love) 4. System of A Down 5. Travis 6. Stereophonics 7. Nirvana 8. Muse 9. No Doubt 10.Smashing Pumpkins 11. Manic Street Preachers 12. Red Hot Chili Peppers 13. Feeder 14. Rammstein 15. Alanis Morrisette I've seen those bands a total of 19 times, providing some of the greatest moments of my life. The second list are smaller bands, some are underground, some are up-and-coming, some have split up through never making it. The quality of these bands are usually better than the first list. Maybe in 20 years they will dominate the other bands, but at the moment the best of them might reach number 5 or 6 in the other list if mixed together. 1. Hundred Reasons 2. Bitch Alert 3. My Vitriol 4. Hell Is For Heroes 5. Kinesis (RIP) 6. Douglas (RIP) 7. Sonic Boom 6 8. Halo (RIP) 9. Karine Polwart 10. Pure Reason Revolution 11. KubricK (RIP) 12. Auf der Maur 13. Instruction (RIP) 14. Adequate 7 (RIP) 15. Dogs Die In Hot Cars I've seen those bands 41 times, some on the same bill. These are the truly great gigs, where you stand 4 feet from your band playing on a tiny stage, with three other bands you know and love, all for £5-£10. That's where music comes from. Some of those bands that have split up have produced the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard. The top 3 bands, Hundred Reasons, Bitch Alert and My Vitriol, all have the potential to be greater than Green Day and R.E.M. Football- Am I a glory hunter? No. I support England: they are my number 1 team. Besides them I support every English club. The Premier League is the greatest club in the world, and I love nothing more than when one of our 3rd or 4th best teams beats AC Milan or BArcelona, teams that claim to be the number 1 best team in the whole world. I guess I have to confess I am a Liverpool fan, and have been since I was about 7. I saw them defeat Aston Villa while I was in the Holte End at Villa Park, and no amount of sympathy and allegiance to Villa will stop me supporting Liverpool.
