Hello!

I'm originally from West Belfast in Northern Ireland but I moved to London when I was 17. I live in Crouch End. I'm a "writer" i.e I write a lot.

I suffer from bipolar disorder and maintain a blog about it at http://thesecretlifeofamanicdepressive.wordpress.com.

I am a Comedy Buff so if you have any questions about British comedy, come to me!

Things I'm interested in here are:

  • Mental health, particularly bipolar disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders and psychotic disorders
  • British comedy, specifically comedy of the 1960s such as Pete and Dud, Do Not Adjust your Set and Monty Python
  • Irish political history
  • The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
  • Vivian Stanshall
  • Literature
  • Decent new British bands such as Luxembourg and The New Royal Family
  • Etymology


I hope to contribute lots!

Nice to meet you!
