Playing Music, Listening to live bands. Eating good food, particularly fish. Dancing when there is no-one to shame. Rugby, play and watch - support London Irish, Connaught, Irish National team. Also train at Aikido. Literature - forcing myself to read a novel a month this year... agony! Enjoy good architecture, follow design. Equestrian - horse dealing, driving, 'soft' schooling (Jinba Ittai). I'm probably agnostic when it comes to any kind of faith but still have a meta physical side to me, spiritual nature is deeply set. Also draw/paint a little, would like to more if I get any time.
Winona Ryder. I'd like to spend time with Mohammed Kahzi, President of Afghanistan. I'd like to understand George Bush. I wish I could sit with my Grandfathers. Thoughtful souls

Enjoy blues. 60's soul. 50's swing/jazz, rock n roll. 80's ska.I could listen to Irish Trad & Bluegrass all day and not get bored... in the blood.NOTPhil Collins. Most US urban. Trash Teenage Thrash. ( Although Greenday's 'American Idiot' has a noble sentiment ) Pop boybands/girlbands. Trance.Also enjoy well mixed dance-music but only in portions where I can LISTEN to the switches.Classic motown & rock n roll are always a winner. Oh, and Mariza the fadista from Portugal.

Badly researched news programmes.Limited Sport: Rugby - whenever on. Soccer - rarely. Enjoy GAA but see it so rarely as to have no valid opinion, only partisan allegence to Gailliamh.
