 (Sound familiar, Peter Kay?) Me

About Me. DannyUK. About 2010ish.

About Me. DannyUK. About 2010ish.

I’m Danny, I live in the heart of the Wirral (near Liverpool and on Merseyside for those that don’t know the area) and I moved here at Easter 2019 after falling in love with a girl from the Wirral.

Before that I had spent the best part of 20 years living in Chelmsford, Essex.  

This is my blog. Updated semi-regularly since 2005 and historically filled with an eclectic mix of posts including articles, honest reviews and stuff about Chelmsford or Liverpool and the North West. Oh, and it’s mostly about me, my family and my life, as you may expect.

I’ve written on and off for years.  In fact, I started writing before I went to school, but then so did quite a lot of people.  Over the years, I’ve contributed articles to the likes of the West Ham fanzine Over Land And Sea, local magazine The Edge Magazine - Chelmsford fanzine, Soccer365, Ciao and Dooyoo. Way back in the mid to late 90s I also wrote various articles and pieces for AOL in their football section. before starting to write the blog back in 2004.

Since then I’ve written two comedy scripts for the BBC (they haven’t wanted them, but it still counts, right?), one of which was a script about a car share journey between two colleagues which was sent to the Beeb in 2007.  (Sound familiar, Peter Kay?)

I also started up my own podcast with my best friend. “Hilarious”, “The funniest thing ever” and “You should not miss out on this - the next big breakout star” are just three of the comments that were not been made about the WafflePod podcast.

In more recent times I’ve written, recorded, edited, hosted and produced the Sublime True Crime podcast.

Anyway, that’s a picture of me, over there (or up there if you’re reading this on a mobile. Or possibly down there, or maybe even not there at all if the blog is having a wobbly.)

My time seems to be split between Essex (where the kids live), London (my place of birth and home of my forefathers (what kind of man has four fathers?)) and the Wirral (which is actually home these days). As a result my blog covers topics around Essex, London and the North West, as well as various other things.  It’s always been hard to pigeon-hole the blog.

I write about things that interest me, or stuff that I’m opinionated about. I also write if I’m paid to, but there has to be a reason for me writing and it almost always links back to an interest or something to do with the kids.

My friends accuse me of sometimes making up words and slipping them into my writing.  This is categorically unrequentable and a somewhat medovian accusation.

Chopsticks

My kids are generally referred to on the blog as: My son (Chance, born in 2006), Youngest Daughter (Brooke, born in 2004), Middle Daughter (Aaliyah, born in 2002) and Eldest Daughter (Charisma, born in 2000).

I’m also a step-dad to Step Daughter (born 2005) and Step Son (born 2007). As a result, the kids are in various stages of being at school, college, on their way to university and being full time employed.

I’m prone to review writing. Sometimes about stuff that I have, and sometimes about stuff that I’ve been sent, though the latter is always clearly mentioned in the review. Sometimes I’m sent stuff and I don’t review it, simply because it hasn’t really interested me.

I’m also always on the lookout for giveaways for the blog and love running competitions here. Everyone loves a freebie, right?

Some of the brands I have worked with on the blog are Durex, Parallels Access, Mattel and Dunkin’ Donuts, Mankind and BalloonBaboon.

My ex-wife has her own blog (30somethingMel), which is worthy of a mention if you like beauty blogs, and I have a soft spot for local promotion, so local businesses and blogs tend to get mentions in the blog more than most.

So, in summary:

I’m Dan, born in the late 70s and a dad-of-four. Currently living on the Wirral, near Liverpool.

Still madly in love with a girl from the Wirral. Addicted to caffeine and some would say more that “slightly” in love with Costa Coffee. PR friendly and a sarcastic sod that likes to think he’s witty.

Dan also has occasions where he refers to himself in the third person. And other times when he throws grammar rules to the wind by starting sentences with the word “and”.

He also thinks you should contact him, which you can do here!
