I am here for Friends

About Me

I have a few motorbikes but my favourite is my little Honda NC30. I play the piano, done the whole grade 8 thing and now get to play for pleasure. I love J.S.Bach although I do Les Dawson versions of Phil Coulter music too (which will always silence pretty much any piano bar!) I've turned my hand to the flute and also to acoustic & bass guitars but am definately rusty on these.

Music:

I prefer classical music anything from J.S.Bach to Shostakovich at the minute I'm listening to Shubert impromtus and song cycles. I like rock/metal anyone from weird al to metallica

Movies:

Monty Python & Blackadder, Blazing Saddles, Nightmare before Christmas. Hamlet, Amadeus, Delicatessan & Amelie and Excalibur.

Television:

Don't do much tv -my babby girl watches Nick Jr -Dora etc & Muzzy (german language cartoon for kids) so I'm kinda stuck with that too

Books:

I like to read a variety of books from historical (usually WW1 & 2 stuff, Crime/thriller writers such as Ruth Rendall, Agatha Christie, Grisham. Scientific (Quasi?) like Graham Hancock & Stephen Hawking. Comedy-Terry Pratchet Kids -Harry Potter books & Philip Pullman's works. Philosophy? Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance & Illusions to Old Faithfuls like Shakespeare, Steinbeck, Austen etc

Heroes:

Hmmm, too disillusioned to have any, maybe-Lord Flash Heart perhaps? No seriously, I'd have to nominate Joey Dunlop for this one.
