Yellowfin tuna with olive oil basil and poppy seeds on a toasted sub roll; The Food Doctor cranberry bagels with Philadelphia; spending money on things I don't need; current affairs and new technology; writing to-do lists; not doing stuff on my to-do lists; cooking everything from scratch; doing laundry, cleaning and washing up, for real; going to the gym; working at the gym; meeting new people; meeting old people - they're so interesting and have been through it all; oh, and seemingly destroying every vehicle I take control of...
People that share my passion for spontaneity, cleanliness and trying new things.
I *actually* love Jo Whiley. Also Sienna Miller. I could listen to Mariella Frostrup, Fearne Cotton, Annie Mac, Mary Anne Hobbs and Laetitia till my ears bleed.
Barry Welsh makes me laugh and I'm sad that I didn't meet Desmond Llewellyn, Frank Sinatra and Peter Ustinov before they died.
Quite varied and obscure ranging from pre-50's pop through Straussian pizzicato to death metal and bhangra. Unashamedly this includes the soundtrack to Chicago and all that jazz, too. :)
The Rock; Fight Club; Layer Cake; Minority Report; Eternal Sunshine; Leon; Taxi (The original French version!!); Romeo & Juliet...I wish I'd seen more British and international cinema instead of the American tripe I'm used to. I am always keen to hear recommendations on reels I should check out, e.g. Bad Education is superb, Cidade De Deux is truly excellent - I don't mind Hollywood but there's so much better out there :)
In the ratio of Film Hype:Film Quality I'd say "300" manages a 300:1. Absolute tosh!
