What can I say?  My name is Joe, I’m 24, I live in Manchester.  I work in the fast-paced and dangerous world of University administration.  I’m a member of a really cool Evangelical church plant (called The Plant) where I get to organise and lead music for our meetings, as well as occasionally preach!

I enjoy playing music (guitar/piano) and songwriting, sports (tennis & football especially).  I play computer games, I watch films and TV (West Wing, Spooks, 24, Scrubs, The Prisoner, Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle, Simpsons, Black Books, Blackadder, People Like Us, Help, Fawlty Towers, Goodness Gracious Me, League of Gentlemen, Fast Show, The Office, Extras, Phoenix Nights plus many many more) .  I love music (Manics, Beatles, Muse, Coldplay, The Jam, Style Council, anything by Paul Weller basically, The Who, The Clash, Ian Dury, Foo Fighters, R.E.M., U2, Radiohead, Feeder, Stereophonics, Supergrass, Blur, Oasis, Dire Straits, Guns n’ Roses, Zutons, Jack Johnson, Rodrigo y Gabriela and much much more …).  I enjoy cooking and eating, I hope to write a novel some day, I hope to record a CD this year, I like the English language and it’s many funny words, I am due to become an uncle in April and I really like cheese (the foodstuff, not the variety of music/films).

When I grow up I want to be a Minister/Vicar/Pastor person.

    OK, since I left that last post, you’ve put some content on this page. I was going to say, “so I take back my last comment” – but that would be even worse, wouldn’t it! Now, it truly is fascinating, rather than me needing to be facetious about it.

    One question: why does “Evangelical” get a capital letter but “church” does not? It makes for some odd implications…

    Thank you, Martin! Um, in answer to Your question it’s probably Because i’m not Entirely sure of where you Should put a capital letter And where you shouldn’t … Believe me, there’s no Hidden meaning!
