Film making, film watching, rain on a warm day, comics, comics and more comics, laughing so hard that a little bit of wee comes out, having my bald head licked by random strangers, sci fi, occasional synchronicity, gigs, world domination (utilising the local public house as foremost base of operations, naturally), the word "plinth", drinking copious amounts of lager and then dancing badly, puppets, eating cheese before bedtime and being the owner of a beard (some of these interconnect, sometimes in strange ways).
Also, sitting down is good. But lying down is better. Standing up sucks. And running is a four letter word of which we will never speak again.
No, no. Never. Speak. Again.
Myself at age 16 so I could tell me not to bother spending any money on hair gel/wax over the next 5 years.....
(Obviously, I would need to first meet the bloke what invented the time machine that allows me to meet myself at age 16. Otherwise there'd be the most terrible paradox)

Ones with monsters. Or pirates. Or spaceships. Or robot monster pirates with lasers coming out of their eyes who fly around in big spaceships. And can travel back in time. Yeah, that would be cool.
Plus any autobiography of a vacuous know-nothing "celebrity" who is barely out of their teens (no, only joking, just the robot pirate laser monsters, really)
Groucho Marx, Spike Milligan, Jim Henson, Douglas Adams, Lex Luthor (and any self-respecting comic book megalomaniac)
