Punk Rock - the whole lot from 76 to today. Love reading biographies and historical accounts, trawling throough old records, sleeves, flyers, books, discographies, websites and stuff. Football all over the world but particularly at it's best, the Hibernian Football Club. Modern History & Pop Art. Cutting about. Breathing and stuff.
