Anything worth watching really ! Dont go to see many shows but saw 'Once upon a time in Wigan' and 'Dancing in the Streets' which were both superb ! Seen various other shows but they don't stick in my mind like the two I have mentioned

I really rate this woman !!!............... I could go on forever but I cant list everyone - as long as it sounds good !! I love all music as long as its not crap - detest all these bloody bands like 'Girls Aloud', 'Sugababes' etc. give me pure talent anytime !!! Hate anything thats manufactured and HATE it when these type of bands try to cover the classic 60's soul songs !!!! Detest the Sugababes cover of 'Here come the Girls' for that Boots advert and the cover of 'Beggin' by the Saturdays

Mostly History books - esp. Art Deco and local history for Dundee and Winchester. Nostalgia. Anything about 60's and 70's era and MODS..... Paul Weller 'The Changing Man' by Paolo Hewitt is a very good read - excellent ! The Modfather by David Lines is a hilarious book - fans of Paul Weller should read it ! Its packed full of music nostalgia and very funny adolescent misadventures - It had me in tears of laughter ! Books on Gangland .............oh loads !!
