Gigs - best one recently has got to be Queens of the Stone Age at Carling Academy in Glasgow. Most fun was Tenacious D.
Festivals - love going to Glastonbury. Haven't been in a few years but would like to go again sometime soon. The atmosphere is fan-bloody-tastic.
Cinema - especially in the afternoon when it's quiet. Must admit I'm a bit of a cinema-dictator - it really winds me up when people talk/kick my seat/play with their phones during the film.
Tattoos - love getting tattoos! It's hard to explain, but it's like a rite of passage.
Shoe shopping - this is me making up for my student days when all I wore was doc martens!

Books:
I love to read - I'm one of those people that can read the same book over and over and over.......
Especially love the books of Louis de Bernières, Neil Gaimen, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sergei Lukyanenko and Douglas Adams.
Some favourite books are;
The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts,
Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord,
The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman,
....the above three part of a set by Louis de Bernières,
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett,
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley,
Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist,
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk,
LA Confidential by James Ellroy,
I'm of the opinion that the book is always better than the film - been disappointed so many times. Captain Corellis Mandolin was a fantastic book, but the film totally ruined it's rep by just concentrating on the love story, there was so much more to it.
Some films do come close, however, like;
The Green Mile by Stephen King,
The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King,
Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien,
Dune by Frank Herbert
Really looking forward to seeing the film of the book 'Love in the Time of Cholera'!!
Heroes:
Anyone who makes a stand.
