I like wandering, trees (much underrated), drawing, making stuff I call art but is a bit crap really, biking in the countryside, playing the cornet, looking after my pigs and fish, not tidying up, collecting freaky weird stuff, wandering around - often aimlessly, trying new things (chocolate baked beans, purple gravy anyone?) and a few other things that I can't think of right now.Oh, wandering and pondering. I like to wander around or bike and let my mind just let go of all the crap that accumulates. I'm sure that sounds odd, yet I don't care. Possibly because some weird little centipede thing bit my finger earlier. God only knows what it had in it's fangs.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who understands my other language, because I speak two languages - English and Rubbish.

If you don't know about some of those, I recommend you check them out.Oh, and Takeshi's Castle! Gotta love that. All those contestants trying so hard to win.....yet they so rarely managed it. And getting bruised and muddied on the way, of course. Hahar.
Books:
What the hell have I read recently? Erm.... The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz. It's a true story and it's incredible.
The Ladies No.1 Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith is good, as is 44 Scotland Street (also by him). You could try The Dice Man as well, but it goes from being about psychiatry into being a porn fest. I was shocked. Yes Man by Danny Wallace was funny....erm, oh yes, Appleseed by John Clute...I read it, can't say I understood it though. It is the stupidest book I have ever read. Try it at your peril.
Obvious other books:
1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Catch 22, Hiawatha
As well as (not so obvious):
Montmorency, The Killer's Cousin, those Amber Spyglass ones...if that's what they're called (for kids? Pah!), Saga of Darren Shan books, ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD! Of course.
Heroes:
Phil Lynott...if you know what he had to deal with and still became what he did, then you'll understand. Oh, and he was one hell of a rock 'n' roller.
And David Wyatt seeing as he is an awesome artist and I will be lucky if I get anywhere near as good as he is.Zyggy, vigilante-various-chilled-cheeses-distributor
