I am a Chef at The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK. I have worked there for 17 years. I love Liverpool FC, F1, Nascar, Indycar, BTCC, Ice Hockey and Heavy Metal. TV, DVD, Music, Books, the Gym and Travel are a big part of my life. I like to meet and talk to new people, the crazier the better [hehe] and I love holidays in warm exotic locations. I'm passionate and dedicated in all that I do but I tend to get frustrated and pissed off when people let me down. I'm very neat and tidy [maybe a tad O.C.D] but thats not a bad thing right? I have very few real friends, friends that I trust, I find them hard to come by. Trust and loyalty are a big thing for me and I try to practice what I preach and lead by example.
