Music, gigs, reading, outdoor activities, cycling, cooking, eating out, stand up comedy, socialising, anything that I may not have tried before cos you just don't know if you like something till you've given it a go.

Too busy to watch TV really. Last recent shows I enjoyed were life on mars, and my name is earl, past tv shows would have to include black books, spaced, blackadder pretty much any very good comedy type stuff
In no particular order and naming but a few: One flew over the cuckoos nest, Down and out in paris and london, Lord of the rings, Catch 22, The Da Vinci Code, Pefume, Life of Pi. His dark materials trilogy, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Saga of the exiles, Dune, Generation X, oh and Nostradamus ate my hamster (great title for a book or what?)
