Too busy working to have many interests these days but could probably still claim to enjoy music, red wine, reading and stalking my kids via MySpace!!
In no particular order and each for reasons that will remain my own... Van Morrison, Ricky Gervais, Ste, Ken Blanchard, Teddy Sheringham and.... I'll come back to this later
I like what I like and make no apologies for the fact that lots of what I like is very uncool - have a large CD collection covering just about every style of music. Like seeing bands live - even when they're bad they're pretty good live... those seen include: Oasis, Snow Patrol, BlocParty, Everyman (have a listen!), Magic Numbers, Charlatans, Proud Mary, Kings of Leon, Embrace, Artic Monkeys, Cornershop, Flaming Lips, BRMC, UB40, Maximo Park, The Kooks, Kaizer Chiefs, Hard Fi, Editors, Dead 60s, The Coral, Secret Machines, Travis, The Hours
Political thrillers, old war films, clever comedy
Not really
Fairly trashy thrillers and detective fiction nowadays. Other than that all I really get to read is non-fiction business related stuff!!
no real heroes as such but lots of very strong influences...
