Hmmm, tennis, hanging with my daughter, Grace, getting lost at my easel, chilling with my Staffies, enjoying perfect coffee, art, music, real estate, Porsche, Audi, my family, the Internet, Tennis, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, a good read, philosophy, meditation.
Movies:
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Constantine, Star Wars, Shop Girl, I Heart Huckabees, The Godfather, Garden State, K-Pax, The Negotiator, Enemy of the State, Vanilla Sky, Sin City, Collateral, Inside Man, Rainman, Minority Report, Silence of the Lambs, a Bug's Life, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Rain, Bladerunner, Jaws (another reason I never swim!!), i.Robot, Pulp Fiction, Fargo, Wall Street, Eat Drink Man Woman, Pay it Forward, The Bourne Identity, Crash, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Hard Candy and heaps more. Oh yeah, BMW Films -- they were outstanding! Go Clive Owen!
Television:
"Life on Mars" is brilliant! I don't watch a lot of other shows -- prefer to spend time with my family, read, surf the web or engage in less mind-numbing activities.
Heroes:
Wonder Woman ;). Ahem, seriously, my family, especially my daughter Grace. She inspires me every day!
Favourite Music:
An eclectic mix... Ikarus, Morcheba, Audiosauce, Daft Punk, Concord Dawn, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, Pitch Black (especially Ape to Angel), James Blunt, Miles Davis, Minuit, Charles Mingus, The Chemical Brothers, Nightmares on Wax, Ronny Jordan, Shapeshifter, Rhian Sheehan, Strawpeople, Thievery Corporation, White Stripes, Timo Maas, Baitercell, Hotel Costes, Mattafix, among many others.
Love seafood and a great vegetarian dish (although I'm not one -- just eating less and less meat). A good Eggs Benedict is hard to beat, especially with a nice flat white coffee.
Books:
I tend to read non-fiction -- mainly due to my job, but if I had to recommend one or two: "The Secret". Read it and change your life. And "Conversations with God -- an uncommon dialogue." -- whoah, a complete mind job! (I am not a practicing Christian).

I also paint -- oils on canvas, linen or board.
Oh, I'm fun-loving :).
Turn Ons:
Staffordshire Bull Terriers!!,the good things about our planet, beauty, kindness, humour, super cars (Porsche, Audi RS4 etc), and more.

Staffy haters, Megalomaniacs, Procrastinators, people who are complete and utter Muppets, bad drivers, violence and abuse, sensationalist news networks, negative people, bad TV ads, people who steal ideas -- especially when they profit from them, companies and governments holding people to ransom, war, and probably more :).
