Movies that bother with a plot. Animation, Photography (doing and looking at), driving tanks, Bouncy Castles! The Pitt Rivers Museum, The V&A, The Eden Project, Laughing til my legs wobble, camping in book stores. I love digging through bargin bins be it for clothes/music/film, especially when i find someting i was after for ages, i get pretty annoyed when i have to pay full price.
Peter Ustinov, Gene Wilder, and definatly Kenny Everett. I realise two of them are dead but its a small technicality oh and Freddy Mercury... so better make that three. PEOPLE I'D LIKE TO MEET SO I CAN GIVE THEM A GOOD SLAP: Steve Martin, Johnny Vegas, the crew from Extreme Makeover; I have nothing against the program or them as people but you guys have a microphone- you don't need to shout. The guy from the Cillit Bang ad for the same flipping reason! Jim Carey when he's trying to be funny, when he's actually acting, i don't mind him. David Bedingfield, oh wots his name... James Blunt, Craig David, WESTWOOD!!! People who think saying 'No offense but...' will give them protection from my wrath. The Harvard System. Who gives a fuck where the comma goes. Many people who have asked for 'a minute of your time'.. but not the old ones. Its the rude kids that mutter abuse at you when you say your not interested. Or the ones that will target you from the other side of the road and cut through a crowd of equally approachable and moody people swarming around them. Why?! And when its to sell you insurance is even worse! Argh!!
