About Me:
I would say I'm a Mod revivalist got the mod bug in 79'.

I was born in Edinburgh and follow the mighty Hibernian - go to most games home and away.

I'm the proud father of three sons Craig 23, Scott 20, and Ryan 15. Took Scott along to Friday Street lastweek , there's hope for the young lad yet.

Not always been active due to having got married and bringing up a family sice the late 80's I finally got my modness back againand life couldn't be better. (Modness is there such a word LOL).

While i'm here I would like to say a huge thanks to the Scottish Mod Scene forum. The admins on there do a huge amount of work to keep us all updated on club events and gigs etc.

2 Max Crook (Maximilian) - The Snake
3 MOD CLASSIC - MIKE VICKERS - ON THE BRINK
4 Secret Affair - My World

Suit is outstanding and the lining I wanted arrived today. All the same it should have taken 2 weeks max. Catch up with you later I'm away to enjoy my 40 years on this earth.

Picking it up later with a different linning in it. He says the proper linning will be in next week!! Suit was looking good the other day all the same. 3 months to get a suit made.

That tit of a tailor has forgot to order my linning for the whistle. My neighbour has had an extension built to the side of his house in the time that dick has taken to make the suit. Never again.
