Dan: Reading, Sci-Fi, Walking (Guess which one studies Physics?) Pete: Politics, new music, travelling, radio, Laura Snoad, Tea and biscuits, JD and Coke etc. Darren: Hip Hop, Football, Computer games, drinking with mates Phil: Anything (well almost anything) to do with motorbikes will keep me amused and happy for hours :) Kayaking is great because even the most simple moves will impress people. And even if they don’t, you’re wearing a wetsuit, which is almost the same as lycra? Don’t go there actually…
Pete: Andrew Marr, Alex Turner, Chris Moyles and many others! Phil: A proper comedian, someone like Billy Connolly in an attempt to improve my jokes. Because they do get a bit dire…. Darren: Eminem, Wayne Rooney, Eva Longoria Dan: Stephen Hawking, Matt Bellamy, Richard Dean Anderson
Phil: You can’t go wrong with a good bit of cheese, but I do like a bit of ska and punk rock as well. Oh and Of course a good few air guitar tracks. Everyone does it, the whole dancing round your room with the guitar… No? Well, maybe that’s just me then… Darren: Hip Hop, Arctic Monkeys, Killers, Slipknot Pete: Arctic Monkeys, Stereophonics, Hope of the States, Indie Rock and plenty of cheese (I will provide a bigger list on request!) Dan: Deep Purple, Status Quo, Soulwax
Dan: Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail, Sin City Darren: Donnie Darko, Pulp Fiction – any film that forces you to use your imagination! Pete: Good Will Hunting, Anchorman, Cool Runnings – something that makes you think, fucks your mind up or is funny is for me! Phil: Mean Machine, Lock Stock …, Snatch - Basically anything else with a bit of war/action in it makes a good film for me.
Darren: Really into Lost – Not watched a lot since Uni. Pete: Anything newsy, comedic, thoughtful – oh and reality tv which I suppose doesn’t fit into any of my categories! Phil: Orange County Choppers on Discovery Channel. A series about a father and son business making custom motorbikes in America. Lots of arguments but lots of great bikes too :) That 70s Show when its on is good too… Dan: Stargate (SG1/Atlantis) {Once again his degree choice becomes obvious!}, Red Dwarf, Two Pints of Lager…
Pete:Anything political or journalistic, Biographies, Music books, Anything that takes me away from my world and transports me somewhere exciting – any ideas? Suggest me some reading! Darren: Harry Potter series, all Steven King books as well as other horror writers, religious mysteries like the Da Vinci code Dan: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, 1984, HRW – without it I’ll fail my degree (no idea what this book is!) Phil: Anything with a bit of war/fighting in it. And there’s bound to be a motorbike magazine of some description not too far away as well… (this boy and motorbikes!)
Dan: Richard Fennyman, Albert Einstein, Horatio Nelson (Now that’s just weird!) Pete: Andrew Marr, My Mum (Aah!), Charles Kennedy and probably others I cant remember! Phil: A bike racer called Barry Sheene once said “Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet the bloody thing!†which I think sums up pretty much everything you need to do something well. And he was a great racer as well… Darren: Eminem – a genius – nobody else gets hero status
