| What We Do On MySpace Is fill in lots of pointless surveys, but I'm trying not to fall asleep and this about all I can cope with.... Name: Yorkshiresoul Birthday: 05/07/67 Birthplace: St. Jimmy's, Leeds Current Location: Ilkley Eye Color: Hazel Hair Color: Used to be dark brown, now it's turning grey Height: 5 11 Right Handed or Left Handed: Right Your Heritage: English and Scottish, two grandparents were Scots, one Tyke, one Geordie The Shoes You Wore Today: Brown with lots of food splatters Your Weakness: I'm not good at confrontation with people, it always leaves me angry / worried for hours afterwards, thus I suppose I try to avoid confrontations. Your Fears: Heights, I can't climb stuff, six feet up is enough for me. I always get that irrational fear when I'm looking down from something tall that I'm going to fall off. I'm not keen on spiers, or moths, bloody nasty flappy fluttery things. Your Perfect Pizza: A meat feast with plenty of pepperoni and chillis Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: As always, lose a bit of weight, otherwise, I don't know, I'd like to do the Lyke Wake Walk (40 miles in 24 hours), otherwise I'm pretty content, I'm not hugely driven to achieve things. Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: I don't IM Thoughts First Waking Up: Is it raining ? Or can I scamper out to remove the security post in just my socks ? Your Best Physical Feature: Aha, oh dear, my family read this you know, er, my hair then. Your Bedtime: Depends on work, I'd quite happily go to bed at 10 ish, work often keeps me up until after midnight though. Your Most Missed Memory: Mum, family dinners with us all laughing at the same old family in jokes. Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi Max, but I hardly ever drink either, evil empire you know. MacDonalds or Burger King: Burger King, but on the whole I'd prefer to have real food, I'd rather save up for 6 months to eat at Gordon Ramsey's once than have six months of free McDonalds. Single or Group Dates: Ruddy quizzes for teenyboppers, I love going out as a gang, husbands and wives together. Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: I've never tried either. Chocolate or Vanilla: Hot chocolate, dark, cream on top, with a whisky to follow. Cappuccino or Coffee: Black coffe, as strong as possible Do you Swear: Far too bloody much Do you Sing: Often and badly Do you Shower Daily: No, sometimes I have a bath Have you Been in Love: Yes, a few times Do you want to go to College: Been there, go the diploma, City & Guilds 706/1/2/3 and the Patisserie qualification, I've forgotten the number of that though. Do you want to get Married: I am. Do you believe in yourself: I think, therefore I am. Do you get Motion Sickness: Not much. Do you think you are Attractive: Not hugely, and I'm rather anti-fashion as well, there's nothing so bad I'd resort to surgery though, you just makethe best of what you get. Are you a Health Freak: Ha ha, well, I like to exercise a lot, but I eat and drink to compensate. Do you get along with your Parents: Yes, we've nearly always had a great relationship, apart from when I was being a teenage idiot, but then you grow up. Do you like Thunderstorms: Yes, they're great. Do you play an Instrument: no In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: I drink wine almost every day. In the past month have you Smoked: no In the past month have you been on Drugs: Drugs have never really held any appeal for me, I've tried dope two or three times and thought it was crap, I'd never take pills or snort coke, yuck, and you'd have to be mad to try smack or crack. I don't want to be huggy/happy so ecstacy's out, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life talking to the back of my hands so I'll not bother with LSD / mushrooms / toad licking. In the past month have you gone on a Date: I've taken my wife out for dinner. In the past month have you gone to a Mall: A mall ? Oh, you mean a shopping centre, yes. In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: No, I've eaten too much home made shortbread though. In the past month have you eaten Sushi: I like to eat virtually everything, except sushi, I like smoked salmon and some other smoked fish, but that's it as far as raw fish goes for me. In the past month have you been on Stage: no In the past month have you been Dumped: no In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: No, but I have some very loud shorts which I have been swimming in. In the past month have you stolen anything: Oh dear, now I should tell how I accidently shoplifted a magazine from Tesco. Ever been Drunk: Times far too numerous to count, less so as I get older, but I still manage to get hammered now and then. Ever been called a Tease: no. Ever been beaten up: I'm crap at fighting, I've lost a few fights but I wouldn't say any of them resulted in me getting beaten up, a black eye at worst, I've had worse in the mosh pit at gigs. Ever Shoplifted: See above. How do you want to die: Quietly and without too much pain. What do you want to be when you Grow Up: I'm a nearly forty year old bloke that still goes to heavy metal gigs and reads comics, do you see me growing up anytime soon ? What country would you most like to Visit: Canada, Thailand, some parts of the USA that I havn't been to - New England, Maine In a Boy/Girl.. Favourite Eye Color: Pretty much any, but green combined with..... Favourite Hair Color: Red, but I'm really not choosey Short or Long Hair: Any, long, punky spiky, any at all Height: any Weight: Any. Best Clothing Style: Rubber, leather, goth, punk Number of Drugs I have taken: Caffiene in abundance, alcohol, marijuana Number of CDs I own: Hundreds, and hundreds of records Number of Piercings: 2, both ears Number of Tattoos: 2, small skulls on both shoulders, and I'm getting a new one for my 40th birthday. Number of things in my past I regret: I don't know, I've spoken harshly sometimes, without thinking, nothing too bad though, I'm not going to spend my later days thinking "Oh, if only I'd done that", no, life's good, I have a good life, good family, good friends, a good job and I live in the greatest place on Earth, I don't have much to regret. |

About Me
- Name: Yorkshire Soul
- Location: Ilkley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I've been to all sorts of nice places, home and abroad, I've met all manner of good folk, but I'm a child of the Dales, of the hills and streams, the moors and rocks, Yorkshire's in my soul.
