Restaurant: I've tried a few of the local seafood restaurants and they are far superior to anything in the UK - the range is wonderful. I went to Govinda's in the city for a lunch meeting and it was one of the nicest Indian meals I have had.
Book: Like most designers and artists, I have an insatiable hunger for information and experiences. I suppose I'm a bit of a literature tart, but if I had to choose a favourite I would say my wife hasn't written it yet, (She's a writer, so I'm diplomatically trying to earn a few points at home.)
CD: When driving, I listen to the Stone Roses. At work, I love anything from Miles Davis's electric period.
Television Show: I enjoyed Bill Connolly's World Tour of New Zealand, but apart from that I don't really care for TV programs. I'm in the same camp as Alfred Hitchcock in referring to the tragic lantern as "the best sleeping pill invented"
Holiday destination: My wife has to really pester me to take a break, but i love the Dingle Peninsula and County Cork in the Republic of Ireland.
Pastime: Time tends to pass me when I'm busy with my job. Who else gets to turn their Passions into a profession, and put something back to help people at the same time? However I can be spotted grinning inanely while pottering along Samford Road on my brand new red scooter.
Notes: I have since left Speakout and returned to the UK to set up my own Freelance Web Design business, I also sold the scooter after riding into the back of a truck when the breaks failed on the aforementioned Samford Road leaving what I am told is a manly looking scar on my nose. The photo they took caused much joviality as I am far pastier skinned and my eyes are usual more bloodshot then that.
