ABOUT ME

Céad Mile Fáilte

Dia duit. Hello. Hola. Bonjourno.

Im Paddy and my flat mate here is Mark. We're 23 and 24, from Belfast and sharing a flat for the year.
After a lot of arsing around in uni and not really doing much for a few years I decided to get a real job and am currently in a kitchen training as a chef. Mark is in a 9-5 pre-reg pharmacy job which he hates.....

We spend most of our time trying to decide what were going to do with our lives! Mark wants to become a firefighter, a sports pundit working for ESPN, a music talent scout in London or work for the civil service and I'll add more as they come. Basically anything thats not a pharmacist!
Im open to all ideas....

PHILOSOPHY

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively

Mark reckons "you should never regret something that made you smile"

I love cook books. Currently I read Rick Stein's Seafood in bed at night. Along with McGee on Food and Cooking for a bit of light reading.
Mark looks at the pictures on magazines and likes Into The Wild.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
