Photography - I love it, I'll have a go at any subject (not tried nudes or glamour yet thought ;) )but i HATE being photographed. In my whole collection at home you'll be lucky to find more than one or two shots with me in them. Bad living and time have taken their toll and i don't need reminding thank you very much haha. Photography and Rugby league combined makes for me a perfect day out. I enjoy nothing more than watching a good game and snapping the action at the same time. Thats probably how i ended up as Leigh East Amateur Rugby League Clubs official photographer. I also love watching the Leigh Centurions and also photographing them playing. I also help out where i can on a voluntary basis if anyone at the club needs any photos taking. I've just recently re-kindled ny passion for gardening (yes i know its my age i suppose)but theres something really satisfying and starting with a patch of weeds, clearing it then building up the planting until you have a lush colourful scene. I also enjoy Music, reading, computers, Watching my son play Rugby league and I've just recently got into this acting lark and to be honest I'm really enjoying it.
J.J Burnel (bassist with The Stranglers) Geddy Lee (vocals, Bassist with Rush) The Lancashire Hotpots
I like most music apart from the bang bang thumpy dance stuff that you can hear pounding out of some chavs souped up vauxhall nova.
Fave music would be rock music though especially from the 80s.
I like loads of bands but The Stranglers are my all time favourites.
Just discovered the Lancashire hotpots they're brill.
real instruments beat synths, samples and drum machines any day.
I also enjoy trying to play my Peavey Dynabass 5 string bass guitar but that is now being neglected because of my brand new baby, the Line 6 variax 700 bass. It's a top bit of kit.
I'll strum along to most things in an attempt to better my playing.... but up to now its ain't happenin'
Sci-fi, action, comedy maybe a bit of horror. Oh and a film called the 13th warrior about Vikings which no one else i know likes LoL.
NCIS is my new fave program. CSI is a fave program, they original is the best but im getting into miami and NY too Dr Who is a fave also along with the torchwood spin off. Southpark - Just when you think they've gone as far as they can the push forward the boundaries of indecency, fantastic.
Anything by Terry Pratchett. I think i have them all now and when i've read the last one i start at the first one again. The guys a genius. I've got into reading autobiographies, i'm currently reading Hugh Cornwell's (ex of the stranglers) "A multitude of sins", its really an eye opener. Also factual books as i like to learn new stuff all the time.
MY MUM - Raised me and my brother almost single handed then re-married and raised my sister as good as single handed because stepdads as much help as a chocolate fireguard.
