Andy Long

Sabotaging since 9 Sep 2011

Andy Long lives in Skipton, North Yorkshire. He lives in a small terraced house with his wife and has many interests outside of his day job as an IT manager. An allotment full of fruit and veg, the Dales on his doorstep, a town full of pubs to review and a hobby as a very amateur musician keep him busy and out of trouble. Andy enjoys music in all its forms and has personal experiences of the Britpop era, some unforgettable, and some far too traumatic to recall. A particular way with words and a penchant for cheesy and comforting TV programmes has driven him to create some scribblings for your enjoyment.
