My Interests

Politics, going to the gym, shopping (for my sins), reading,swimming and relaxing....

I'd like to meet:

Tony Blair and George Bush to tell them what I really think of them! I would like to meet Hugo Chavez, and Castro before he dies.I would love to meet Audrey Tatou who plays Amelie because I am obsessed with the film!Music wise I would like to meet Joni Mitchell and Ashley Maher- a singer songwriter. I would like to meet the Manics also.

Music:

All sorts depending on mood. I love Joni Mitchell, Manic Street Preachers, Fernhill, Ashley Maher. I also like Seth Lakeman, Ben Folds- who is brilliant live. I like Muse, Super Furry Animals, Nick Cave, Eleanor McEvoy.

Movies:

Amelie has to be the best ever film. I also like The Edukators, Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earing, Goodbye Lenin.

Television:

I hate adverts! Please ban them! I like a mixture of stuff but I don't have that much time to watch TV-Eastenders, some S4C programmes like Sioe Gelf,Bandit and Caerdydd.I love Trinny and Susannah, so anything they do is great. Extras, Catherine Tate and Have I Got News for You are comedy faves.

Books:

Four Letters of Love, Niall Williams, En Evil Cradeling by Brian Keenan. Jonathan Coe is a great author. The Constant Gardener by John le Carre was a brilliant read.

Heroes:

Anyone who's stood up for what they believe in. I'm not really one for 'icons.'
