Fantasy football, where the transfers stress me out...oh and incase you were wondering I'm a Spurs fan and I love smiley smiley Dawson!
Stripey stuff, which like some deranged magpie, mesmerises me.
Marshmallows! Which, granted, shouldn't count as an interest really but you can melt them on anything...and they get me more hyper than alcohol. I wonder if i actually developed from the age of 5?

Movies:
I love lots of stupid comedies like The waterboy, Ace Ventura and Anchorman etc and of course some classics like Whats eating gilbert grape, Back to the future and Care bears 2 (its a classic and you know it!)
I'm not a huge fan of scary films - gore i can deal with but tense ones play on my mind too much...and romantic comedies are fine if they dont spend too much time on the 'they break up and get back together' shite...However i do love Moulin Rouge!
Kevin Smith films in all their glory and i still have a soft spot for teenage mutant ninja turtles...but who doesnt?!
Television:
The simpsons(of course), Futurama, Black Books, Father Ted, Big train, Spaced, Never mind the buzzcocks, the muppet show - anything muppet related is grand! Does anyone remember Muppet babies?! That 70's Show, Scrubs, King of Queens, Music channels.
Books:
I read a big mixture of stuff because you don't know until you try it - much like food. And yes sometimes the smell of a book can be offputting.
For timeless favourites I love Roald Dahl books (fantastic Mr Fox and George's Marvellous medicine - the grandma is just like mine - minus the whole 'she's bigger than the house' section) Terry pratchett - not something you'd usually say but, 'I love death' and currently the princess bride.
Heroes:
Lindy Heymann - when i first started researching music videos she cropped up on so many i love...she spurs me on.
Spike Jonez - for the same reasons as Lindy, but also i love the simplicity in so much of his work.
Michel Gondry is an insane genius
Who else? Pretty much anyone who has the bottle to stand on stage and sing!
And finally some artists who i am completely in awe of: Frank Cho, Brian Froud, Roy Lichtenstein and Beryl Cook
Ta da your eyes are free for I am all done!
