I'm a pretty creative critter when it comes down to it - drawing, animating, making shitty films and writing stuffs.. Also a big fan of British comedy, video games, being a journo, eating lots of steak, sleeping until outrageous times and I still feel love for Leeds United. I occasionally play sport too.

Sport-wise I'm also a fan of Liverpool FC, and follow F1 as well (I try to watch the races and qualifying live if I can - I stayed up til 5.30am watching the Australian GP a few weeks ago).

:lol: That build has costed me about £900 so far, and I'm thinking about upgrading to Core 2 Duo at some point, which means changing the motherboard, processor and (ideally) the memory.

I enjoy so much stuff, here's what I like to do in my spare time!

Cycling, skateboarding, football, computers, playstation games, eating, goin for a walk, girls, smoking the magic herbal cannabob, drinking, looking at stuff, sometimes read books, watching comedy shows or stargate or conspiracy movies/ vids... ufos are interesting aswell :)

there's still a lot of stuff that I have yet to do aswell! :(

shame I don't get much time to do any of these atm, I work 5 days a week from 2pm - 9/10 pm so miss the nice bit of the day and evening tis a pain in the arse tbh!!

Surely you don't enjoy this?!

I like reading (philosophy and 20th century fiction mostly), film (pretentious arthouse crap) and organising gigs, but my main hobbies are Spoonerising and making up stupid nicknames for my bandmates.

BAD remakes? You're a nutjob. The best Dead film is Night Of The Living Dead, remade by Tom Savini. It's freakin' superior to all other forms of dead. I appreciate purist elitism as much as the next film enthusiast, but give it up for Savini and his ability to rock shit.

That was the best of the remakes I'll give you that. Tom Savini is a legend in all respects (met him once :dance:). But it lacked the killer ending of the original (Yes i buy into all that alternate meaning stuff), so it fell short of the mark. Defiantly the best of the remakes though.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
