Surfing/bodyboarding. Also into bike riding, football(soccer), play squash and I'm into music, especially when it comes to collecting rare stuff that few people like. Photography is also something I enjoy doing when I get the time. Mixing tunes is also taking priority these days :)- that is if you discount uni.. which is not interesting. Am also currently 'experimenting' with speaker boxes for hi-fi systems, which is rather slow atm.

Gave up on TV long ago. ok, maybe top gear and myth busters AND The Chaser's War on Everything :)
Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and a few others. "Nineteen Eighty Four", while Quiller novels are great also.
