..Music, travel, photography, going out, going to parties and having them, meeting interesting people, pubs, eating, drinking red wine, learning languages, reading (when I have time), designing outfits, running my tshirt/dvd company UndergroundTshirts , record collecting, music downloading, promoting music, writing, drawing, writing lyrics, inventing songs, painting, cycling, loads more to list...basically a music obsessive!

with Richard Hell - but i like documentaries, old films, weird tv, music/live bands, real crime shows, COPS, Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under... but I have been known to watch trashy tv.

I am in the process of writing a few things myself, including a book based on the reams of letters my dad wrote, and the photos he took in Germany 44-45, of my dad's WW2 experience, and getting started on a screenplay somewhat based on my crazy life here in London.
My dad (too bad he died) who used to say about punk rock "I fought the war for THIS?" (yes dad, you did), lots of people I admire... he knows who he is...cuz I love him....
