2. I love biscuits.

3.Nothing annoys me more than people who don't question what they read in the papers and then swear by it.

4. I hate racism, homophobia and discrimination against disabled people, but this doesn't mean I don't laugh my arse off at South Park.

5.Despite points 3 and 4, I live with a xenophobic daily mail reader and we get along just fine as long as we don't talk about politics.

6. A few times a year I go to a friends house and we set up 4 huge TVs and play massive sessions of 4 player Xbox. This is very geeky.

19.When I first graduated I was one of those c0cks who thought the world owed them a job.

20. My first kiss was with an ugly bird at a scout/guide camp.

21. My second kiss was a pretty good looking bird at the same camp (should have waited!).

22. My third kiss was with the ugly bird again (what was wrong with me?)

23. I often mis-type sentences, missing words out and swapping letters around, because I'm retarded.

24. Just remembered, my biggest pet hate - flaky people who let you down at the last minute for a night out/ride.

25. I've spent far too long writing this
