Pubbing, clubbing, cycling, boxing (and probably some other things ending with -ing), cinema, theatre, restaurants, music and stuff.
Music:
I'm really into my music, although I'm struggling to find new stuff that genuinely excites me and reminds why I fell in love with it so much in the first place! More often than not I can be found reverting to type and listening to Sonic Youth, Pavement or The Flaming Lips although I do like a lot of other stuff. (Honest!)I suppose I should do a list like everybody else, so: Air Babes in Toyland, Beastie Boys, The Beatles, Beck, Bjork, Black Flag, Bloodhound Gang, David Bowie, Blur, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Cliff, Daft Punk, De La Soul, Neil Diamond, The Doors, The Eels, Elastica, Flaming Lips, Fleetwood Mac, Garbage, Gogol Bordello, Jimi Hendrix, Hives, Hole, Interpol, The Jam, Janis Joplin, Joy Division, Kings of Leon, The Kinks, Ladytron, Stephen Malkmus, Manic Street Preachers, Massive Attack, McAlmont & Butler, Joni Mitchell, Morrissey, Nirvana, NWA, Pavement, Pearl Jam, The Pixies, Placebo, Polyphonic Spree, Iggy Pop, Portishead, Prince, Pulp, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones, Royksopp, Sex Pistols, Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths, Sonic Youth, The Specials, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Stone Roses, The Strokes, Suede, Supergrass, System of a Down, Velvet Underground, Weezer, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young.Also a lot of Tamla Motown/Stax and most funky house.I'm sure there are quite a few artistes that have been left out but I can't remember everything in one sitting so I'll have to put them in at a later date.
Movies:
Too many to chose from so I'll just name a few that I love: Clerks, Edward Scissorhands, Godfather I & II, Bladerunner, Fight Club, Millers Crossing, Big Lebowski, Kung Fu Hustle etc etc.
Television:
Lost, My Name Is Earl, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, League of Gentlemen, Father Ted, Alan Partridge, The Day Today, Brasseye, Seinfeld, Larry Sanders, Bo' Selecta, Monty Python, Spaced, Black Books, South Park, The Simpsons etc.
Books:
Anything by Charles Dickens, Chuck Palahniuk, Edward Bunker, Philip K Dick, Anne Rice, Lewis Carroll, Anthony Burgess, Martin Amis and many others that I can't think of right now. I'm also a lapsed comic fan so I read a lot of graphic novels to catch up on a lot of stuff that I've missed over the years, specifically The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, The Preacher by Garth Ennis and The Swampthing by Alan Moore.
Heroes:
My Dad and my Grandad. Mike Tyson, Bryan Robson, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona. Also the drunk Chinese guy that climbed into a Panda's enclosure and bit one. What a star!
