Leo Cunningham

[Leo Cunningham]

Status: "Leo Cunningham remains rather irritated at Becki. That stubborn woman can't seem to just admit that I was right and she was wrong about the cause of death on her last autopsy. I know, telling a woman she was wrong, I went there... and regretted it almost instantly as she's now giving me the cold shoulder. Wonderful."

Sex: male
Birthday: 11th November 1973
Family:
Grace Cunningham-Armitage (mother)
Tristan Armitage (brother)
Helena Armitage[/color] (sister)
Hometown: Canterbury, Kent
Current City: London
Relationship Status: Single
Interested In: Women
Looking For: Friendship, Dating, Networking
Political Views: Anarchist. (I'm joking but all politicians are essentially gits, yes?)
Religious Views: Atheist

Interests: forensics, films, fucki-... no I'm joking, anatomical science, crime scenes, music, motorbikes
Music: The Smiths, Morrissey, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Pulp, The Police, Queen, U2, The Libertines, Babyshambles, Pixies, The Jam, The Clash, Ramones, David Bowie, Madness, The Specials, The Cribs, Buzzcocks, Oasis, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian
Books: Not a huge literature buff, medical texts tend to take up most of my time but I like supernatural/horror books and I'd say my favourites of the so-called 'classics' is Frankenstein. I'm not averse to poetry, my favourite poets are probably Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, Dylan Thomas and John Donne.
Movies: Dear lord this would take a while so I'll just sum it up for you- if it's well-made, has a vague storyline and doesn't have a script that makes you want to shoot the writer then I'll give it a watch. Equally, films that are so bad that they're good (see Die Hard) aren't terrible to watch for amusement purposes alone.
Television: CSI (the inaccuracies are frigging hilarious!), NCIS, Waking the Dead, Spooks, Whitechapel, House, Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, Chuck, Mad Men, The West Wing, Top Gear, Mock The Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, Live At The Apollo, Stand Up For The Week, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow

Favourite Quotations: "Jamais la nature ne nous trompe; c’est toujours nous qui nous trompons" - "Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves." (Rousseau)

"Wherever he steps, wherever he touches, whatever he leaves, even without consciousness, will serve as a silent witness against him... Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, it cannot be wholly absent. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value." (Edmond Locard)

"They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you."
('This Be The Verse', Philip Larkin - harsh but probably true!)

About Me: My name is Dr. Leo Cunningham and, essentially, I cut up and inspect the innards of dead people for a living - yes I am aware that hearing such a thing is not an aphrodisiac! I have an admittedly morbid interest in forensics, what can I say? If you are of the female gender and that admission hasn't scared you away, well done you have a fine constitution, let's have dinner and drinks!

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
Yes, she is... I've already been with her, Kev, several times, does wonders for professionalism come the next morning I tell you.

PS- Fuck off with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kevin. After 37 years of such mockery it gets a little tiresome but still... if I could physically hurt you via the Internet, I would.

[Kevin Walsh]

Kevin Walsh has commented on your status:
Ha! Did she call you "Doctor Cunningham"?

Surely the Ninja Turtles haven't been around for 37 years. What did people used to mock you with? That ponce who did the Mona Lisa?

[Leo Cunningham]

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
Yes she did No... no, course not. She's a doctor too actually but yeah... no she didn't.

Aaah a bit too much knowledge about cartoon characters there, Kev. No I just meant being given shit in general about my name actually, and yes the da Vinci thing was actually one manner of mockery regarding my oh-so-delightful name. It's not the wisest decision my parents ever made but hey, it could be worst (slightly)... I could have been called Tristan and for that I would definitely never have forgiven mum and dad.

Owen Mason has commented on your status:

Come on Turtle, you don't complain that much when I call you shit.

What happened to not kissing and telling? I got to know Becki too, much earlier than you did in fact, but have a little decency man, no need to placate the kid, he is still going to call you names no matter what you do.

[Leo Cunningham]

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
That's because it's you and not Kev.

I generally don't kiss and tell but (this sounds so childish) Becki kiss and told so I'm perfectly entitled too as well. Well, she told our toxicology assistant about it, absolutely apropos of nothing. I walked into the path lab and then the two of them started giggling and then the assistant said to her "That one?" and then they continued gossiping. I ask you, what's a bloke going to do when she openly broadcasts it to people we have to work with?

I have decency, I resent that.

He looks like you. The hair is Mason.

Kevin Walsh has commented on your status:
How does she feel about seventeen-year-olds

I'm just a knowledgeable guy. And it only took six and a half years of schooling.

They called you Leofarto, didn't they.

[owenmason]

Owen Mason has commented on your picture:
The hair is too long, too white, and not curly enough. Maybe when Leo is 100 and grows his hair long like the late and great Dumbledore it could be 'future Leo.'

Rose Turner has commented on your status:
Telling a woman she's wrong, you're either very brave or very stupid!
So DiCaprio, can I possibly borrow a few of your most action packed/stuntfilled DVDs? Im having a girly night with Lillipop this weekend and she loves action films. Cheers DiCaprio xx

(ooc. I hope its ok I implied that Rose & Leo are friends kind of? She has older sisters & a brother who might have been friends with him & she adopted him, lol)

[Leo Cunningham]

((ooc: That's completely fine, I figure they'd easily have bumped into each other at some point and became friends quite easily. Yep, that sounds great!))

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
She finds them incredibly cute, I'm sure Kev, but not for dating or sleeping with, I'd imagine. I'm sure she won't mind me revealing that about her. Knowledgeable guy... right, whatever you say, keep telling yourself that. Leofarto?... oh now you really are coming through with the hilarious comedy, really, top notch punning there.

PS- Do you really spend most of your life tagging me in photos to take the piss?

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
Yes, quite possibly Rose... or perhaps I am both? Let's face it, that is probably more likely, and sometimes bravery is by far the kindest word for stupidity!

Regarding the DVDs, of course you may, Rosiecheeks. Do you have any particular films in mind or do you trust my, admittedly impeccable, film knowledge enough to let me pick a few for you? Yes, you know, somehow I assumed that about your little sis! No problem, I'll pop over with them tomorrow.

[Becki Addison]

Becki Addison has commented on your status:
In your dreams Cunningham, neither of you have had me or knows me intimately, at least not in that fashion. Owen you and I kissed, accidentally, and Leo, the toxicology assistant and I were giggling because you got the cause of death wrong, and I was right. Also she said you looked like Pinocchio and thought if you lied anymore your nose might grow to reach the other side of your office, and that would be very inconsiderate considering my desk is on the other side of yours. I think that is her way of saying she likes you.

Becki Addison has tagged you in the album ‘Becki & Leo field work':









Leo has to work when I’m around.

[Leo Cunningham]

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
Yes, such a thing does feature in my dreams quite frequently... how on earth did you know that?! Oh so that's what you were giggling about? How boring. No, I'm kidding... but she seriously compared me to Pinocchio? Well, don't I feel loved, thanks for that. That is her way of saying she likes me? I can think of much better ways to say such things. Oh but I must correct the record... I do NOT lie, I'm just economical with the truth!

[Becki Addison]

Becki Addison has commented on your status:
Am I now? Should I feel honoured or a little bit violated? Economical with the truth... yes that is what I would call it. In case you didn't catch that it was sarcasm.

Becki Addison has tagged you in the album ‘The one thing we agreed on':





These are photos from that promotional shoot we did for that magazine on the article about the high profile case we solved, it was perhaps one of the only things we agreed on.

[Leo Cunningham]

Leo Cunningham has commented on his status:
Honestly? Based on the content, you should probably feel a bit violated. Haha, no I am joking, I swear they are entirely innocent dreams I assure you! *cough* Also, I maintain that I have never once lied outright. And I do believe that shall either become my last words or my epitaph.

Also, re: the photoshoot photos, we've agreed on more than one thing in our time, surely?! Or perhaps not... I think we just prefer arguing with each other, makes the whole 'cutting up people' side to our work much lighter and, let's face it, it's a profession which needs a bit of light-heartedness every once in a while to get over the utter, unrelentless doom and gloom of death. I remember that photoshoot, Prof. Dalton felt a tad left out on all the glory I reckon!
