About SCARFMAN

Hey, I'm Scarfman, also known as Andy Lloyd! I'm a Copywriter and fan of television shows, books and most sports. I'm a Media and Cultural Studies Graduate from LJMU and love to blog about all sorts as you can see. At the moment most of my blogs are either mental health related ones (OCD sufferer) or popular culture reviews (books and TV shows). I hope you enjoy reading them. Thanks, Andy.
