Well... at this current time this seems most appropriate: Bond, James Bond

About Me

I'm currently in my final year reading for a BA(Hons) Degree in Emergency & Disaster Management at Coventry University. Its been great fun so far and even more so this year owing to the guys off of the course I'm living with in a privately rented house - LX1 rules!?This was after spending a year with the Royal Navy completing my Basic Officer Training (passing my Fleet Board in September 2004) after service in the South Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This was definitely lucky - some of my mates ended up stuck in PlymouthUpon completion of my degree I'll be resuming a career in the Royal Navy as a Warfare Officer - hopefully specialising as a Fighter Controller who assists the Royal Navy's Jets with not crashing!?Sometime in the future I'd love to end up teaching and imparting knowledge after I did a Module in it at Uni last year and ended up on placement in a High School in Coventry. Secondary, 6th Form or University would all be very cool!

My Interests

Theres so so much... theres very little that I don't find interesting... take that QI programme for instance. I love that sort of thing where General Ignorance in the population is identified and all is done to correct it! And so I live my life constantly listening and learning... and where possible imparting that to other people!?

Music:

I think all music can be brilliant IF the circumstances are good and I'm in the right mood. Of course I love going out and dancing a little... and certain music when I'm working is very productive!I'm enjoying a lot of indie at the moment but the classics persist - Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis and ANYTHING by the Beatles! Its all good!?!

Movies:

Thought I'd share with you all my passion for a certain Commander Bond in CASINO ROYALEcasino royale official trailer

Television:

A-ha... one of my vices - a few specific programmes that I thoroughly enjoy and want to own the DVDs of!?!ER: Long-running, fast-paced Medical Drama thats all the more entertaining as its my Girlfriend will be up to next year!?!The West Wing: A very funny political drama (somehow it pulls it off!) that revolves around a fictional democratic administration - if only it were true!?!The X-Files: Classic spooky programme that I started watching when I was 9 and have been absorbed by it since!?!Buffy the Vampire Slayer: As above but since the age of 12!?!A couple of others include: Spooks, Doctor Who, House md, the Simpsons, Futurama, Las Vegas the OC, CSI, Grey's Anatomy and a few select others.All this from somone who didn't used to own a television at University!?!?

Books:

Tragically I've not had much time to have been reading recently... well, only University Textbooks - Exams! Otherwise I've been reading Dan Brown's books when I get the chance here and there! Otherwise I enjoy reading books written by John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Stephen King and Michael Crichton. I also like the Lord of the Rings and therefore many other books in the same genre - ie the Harry Potter Series. Oh, and the classics are not be underestimated - anything from the Playwrights (ie Shakespeare & Marlowe) to the Victorian authors. Oh, and I have a soft spot for Sir Arthur Conan Doyles works - particularly Sherlock Holmes!
