Ryan Jarman playing the accordion at Cribsmas day 2 in December last year, it was awesome because as you know I play the accordion, and we're a lonely pathetic bunch so I was pleased to see someone cool embracing the squeezebox. This was taken by my friend Mia and has pride of place on my wall.



I took this at the launch of a new pair of trainers called Puma Argentina 78s. I didn't even know they launched trainers, but I went along with k-bo and we drank some free Tiger beer while my mates Phil and Ste DJd. At the end there were theses trainer geeks there asking could they have the promotional signs sent by Puma. They'd driven from Carlisle or somesuch.



Alan Tudyk at the Serenity convention. It was a brilliant convention, probably the best one I have ever been to. I didn't take this picture by the way, I can't remember who did, but it's pretty good, it's captured the expression he had on his face the whole weekend. Yay Alan!



Yay! Corn Mo at the Cavern supporting Common Rotation. I love Corn Mo and I was really pleased with this picture. I'm going to see him on Wednesday supporting Ben Folds and I can't wait.  I saw him outside a TMBG gig once and asked him how I should respond to people who laughed at me for playing the accordion. He replied - "Tell them to shut the f*ck up!" Legend.



I took this of John Linnell when They Might Be Giants payed at the Academy in Manchester in 2004. It was a brilliant show and although I took about 100 photos this was the only one that came out any good. I was wearing a tshirt which said 'Accordion Players Squeeze Harder' and he read it and gave me the thumbs up.



Aw, my dog Sam who died in February. When we got him he was18  months old and he's been inside for so long that he didn't know how to run. This is him in one of his many 'cone moments', can't remember what the exact complaint once but he didn't like that cone. He used to get stuck under chairs when he was wandering round.



This is our new puppy Tilly. She's tiny in this (well, compared to now) because we'd just got her. I naively thought she might enjoy this dog shirt with 'Monster' spelled out in diamante but this was the first and last time she wore it. 



This is one I took of Ryan Jarman at a gig in Birmingham, can't remember when now. It was a great gig and I got a few good pictures - although this one's a bit blurred I like the yellow. 



How small is this monkey?! Very small is the answer. He fits on a man's thumb! Unless it's a giant, and a normal sized monkey.



This is my friend Nico on St.Patrick's day 2004. We were doing a live broadcast from a pub and he got rather drunk and danced. I took this picture as a warning to others. That's his awesome Sid Vicious tshirt he's wearing.



Not a brilliant picture but it's only one of two that I have of me on the red carpet at the world premier of Serenity where I was interviewing the cast. It was a rather surreal experience and it was clear to everyone that we shouldn't really have been there. That microphone was borrowed and had a large dent in it which I was trying to hide, rather unsuccessfully. 



He is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. It's Zach Quinto by the way.
