About me!

Hi I'm Chris.

10 years at any one website is a real long time...

My Reviews

So, what did I do at Epinions? - mainly travel, books, music and perfume.

I started here with TRAVEL reviews, as I wanted an excuse to write down and record my experiences. The fact that someone else may read and find my review useful is one big bonus.

With BOOKS, I think I could string along a reasonable review. Indeed I was a top reviewer for quite a while

MUSIC is my weakest area, but I love music so much, I just couldn't stop myself from writing reviews.

Top Events

I know some may disagree with some of the events on my list as being a "top event" but, hey this is my space!:

And finally, a little about me....

My partner & I have three cats Dandy, Ultimo and Morris

I enjoy reading, learning, current affairs, cooking, eating, drinking, music, travel, walking and art (not necessarily in that order).

Which Classic Novel do You Belong In?

'Tis a great mystery, but somehow you have come to belong in Jane Eyre; a random world of love, kindness, madness, bad luck and lunatic ex-wives. There really isn't much to say about the place you belong in. It's your place, and though it seems far from reality largly due to how random the events are, you seem to enjoy it. You belong in a world where not too many people understand you, and where you can be somewhat of a recluse.
