Reading some of the write ups on here,my life is still rather non eventful really with still loads to come though,never mind I find these things therapeutic so here goes.

I am 21 years old, Male,I came a little early while my Parents were visiting a relative in the South of England otherwise I would have been born in Ireland.
I am of full Irish ancestry on my Mother's side and full Scottish ancestry on my Father's.
My Father is a barrister and I have 3 older,much older, Brothers of whom all of them are in fact old enough to be my Dad too.
In fact 2 of my Brothers Children are in fact older than I am.It is odd when they call me Uncle.

I am fortunate to still be here at all, I have had pneumonia twice in my life and it nearly ended my life when I was 4 years old.
However that is the real only health problems I have had.
As a child I had a massive fear of Santa Claus, I wanted nothing to do with him,I couldn't sleep on Christmas eve but all for the wrong reasons,dreading him coming,even saying I wanted no presents and for him to take mine to someone else.

I have a wonderful supportive family who are always there for me but not in an intrusive way. What I decide to do as to my life has their support even if it goes against their own train of thought.
For instance, I come from a strong Conservative background, however I no way hold to any power or person who prey on the weakest while bulding up the richest and strongest.
This means I have crossed completely the political divide now following this Govts hard hearted policies against the weakest and most vulnerable.

Politics is something I am fascinated with and Law too, it is why I spent all my teenage energy making sure I got the grades to go to University and study Politics and Law, courses I have now just completed.
Now I have at least the next 6 months or so to go travelling a bit and catch up with people I have not seen for a fair few years now due to my intense studying.

The greatest influence in my life would be my Grandmother on my Mother's side, she was Irish and very outspoken but she instilled in me so many things that I try to live by.
When she died just before I got to University,I was really sad because I wanted so much for her to see me do it and be there when I finsished. That's life though.

I think I will likely stick with Law, I feel in poitics you are a small cog in a massive wheel that has one purpose to keep the party machine rolling, I don't see how that really helps people who are unable to fight or speak for themselves.
In Law,I will get the opportunity to help those who need it ease their worries and burdens, hopefully too by being as sucessful for them as I can.

I love music, all types of music except for rap, from classical right through all the commercial pop to the punk era and to the present.
My journey through music and I do like singing a bit too, has brought me to be a strong,almost obsessed,fan of PETULA CLARK.
Downtown, is my all time favourite song and I have set myself the aim to acquire as near as I can get to all her recorded work.
I am driving people mad with that.

I have a major problem though, I never know when to stop talking, I go on and on as you will have noticed in this write up. The description of me from some of my tutors was,that I was someone who if he was going to London from Manchester,he would go via Aberdeen.
I have tried to acquire the skill of saying a lot in a few words but have all but given up now.

I am in many ways a loner,
I have a wonderful family and extended family,I have many friends but few that I call really close friends,I need to be on my own a lot, preferably spending time with my dog but I always also make sure I am there for people who may want to talk to me or who may need me.
I can be sneaky, I have tested people I wondered if I could trust with some totally random nonsense about myself and thankfully only a few have proven unable to be trusted.
I hate genuine muck stirrers and 2 faced people, I have no problem with people talking about others but hate it when they quote the person they are talking about but add their words and what they wished they'd said rather than what they actually said.
Anyone in my life that was like that would be cast out of it very quickly.

I have at this point, no girlfriend, no intention of looking or any intention of getting married in the medium future.
I want to get my career sorted and secured and who knows what may happen then.
My family and friends and also some people on here,(tibb),are the people I like around me at this point in my life.

I come from a privileged background but the people I get on with best are those who didn't. They make up the bulk of my real closest friends.
I am a staunch and rigid supporter of the Police and I believe in the equality of all,where all benefit from all good things and not just some.

That's really me up to now, I have loads of Nephews and Nieces and few difficulties in life.
My only real fear is of daddy long legs, I lterally still freeze if I am in room with one,I am fascinated by the insect world but find it a cold and sinister world too.

A lot more to come for me in life,good and bad so I hope I keep to the words my Grandmother said, ''if you cannot say something good about someone then don't say anything, look to do good turns to people not bad ones''.
