As the local card shops and gift stores remind us, Valentine's Day is swiftly approaching - a time to celebrate everything that's romantic and full of joy in your life with that special someone. It's also the time of year in which singletons mingle with their single friends wondering whether sparks will fly or just whether quite serious one night mistakes will be made? Valentine's Day is that time of the year that men stand awkwardly around the lingerie department wondering whether a red two piece is really the best expression of undying love, while women always make the statement "it's OK, you don't have to get me anything" and you know full well the very last thing you should ever do is fail to get her a Valentine's gift.

First studied Journalism in Ireland in 2003, returning to Sunderland University on the tenth anniversary of my first studies in the subject to continue towards an MA. Interested in all sorts including WWE, Music, Film, TV and Games. Has travelled around a bit to places like California, Ontario and Mexico and plans to do more of the same soon again.
Recently I've been writing pieces on my favourite topics which have included obscure theme music from nostalgic shows, Guns N' Roses and a few other surprises I'll be happy to share in time!
