Nickname: known as "Naughty Naughty" for some reason

Job title and place of work: Work? Sort of a broke entrepreneur (e-commerce and stuff)

Where do you live? Just moved to Bristol, originally from Ashby

Other personal details: Joined the SK about 8 years ago, usual story reluctantly dragged in with the now gone girlfriend, enjoyed it so stayed! Recently transferred into Blews, after being dragged along to their banquet, but I have no regrets what so ever. Usually in the pike, it gives me a release of all the pent up frustration of having to deal with client type people. I am usually at the back which is where I like

What do you like about the regiment / Sealed Knot: What don't I like (oh that's the next question) well, I like the feeling that when I go away I leave all the problems at home, I get to get reasonably drunk in a relatively safe environment with people that are totally different to the people I normally deal with, the old expression "friends you just haven't met yet" really does seem to apply. The other great thing of course is that women actually ask you to comment on their cleavage, (and what impressive cleavages they are!)

What you dislike about the regiment / Sealed Knot: Excessive moaning about the battle, complaints that there not playing with the right rules of engagement, in the same way that you feel they should. Not being able to find the tent your supposed to be sleeping in, having to put up the tent (have been known to sleep in the car), politics and back stabbing, cliques. guess that's why I like blews - they all have the habit of sitting around drinking together (almost an alchoholic version of the waltons)

Advice for new / prospective members: Take a double air bed, it's the best chat up line you could have! (that goes for the women too - there's nothing more provocative than when she whispers in your ear, 'you know I have a lovely double air bed!')
Start in pike? but try it all. You'll come off the field with three things in your mind:

1. where's that bloke that gave me the huge bruise on the nose - I owe him a pint,
2. where did THAT bruise come from
3. where's the beer tent & who's coming ?
