Here are a few of the shows that i have loved over the years:Monty Python, Doug Anthony Allstars, Black Books, Red Dwarf, Anything by the Chaser team, most things by the GNW team, Spicks & Specks, Little Britain, I Am Not An Animal, The Glasshouse, Buffy (have to allow me at least one dodgy show)
Books:
Anything (everything) by Ben Elton, Catcher In The Rye, Great Expectations, lots of non-fiction stuff (text books included) um, i don't read much :o/
whilst i don't read nearly enough, i have great passion to read some of the old classics. I just need someone to motivate me...
Currently I'm being persuaded to read Charles Baudelaire and i have a fascination with Jack Kerouac.
Heroes:
Neville Lawrence, Ben Elton, Mark Oliver Everitt, Albert Einstein, Billy Bragg, Thom Yorke, Billy Connolly, Robin Williams, Tim Rogers, Audrey Tautou, Paul McCartney, Jeff Tweedy, Ben Folds and songwriters that have excellent lyrics...
One of my heroes:
