Any decent comedy.
.

All Monty Python flicks.
Monty Python...The Arguement
Rhubarb
A 60's film from England called 'Rhubarb' where the only word spoken in the film is rhubarb but it is used in different context, it's amazingly funny. Stars Harry Secombe,
' The Carry on' films from England in the 60's.
Austin Powers films
Guilty pleasures/ favourite movies as a kid: Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka (the old one) Chitty chitty bang bang, jungle book.
Others: FARGO ,Raiders of the lost ark + sequels, When Harry met Sally ,Bruce Lee films.
Sad confession: I haven't been to a movie theatre since ET in 82ish !!!
The home theatre and the beer fridge is much less quieter and cheaper + I can go take a pee anytime I want and not miss anything ;)
Television
The original CSI. House
Conan o'brien is a great talent.
Guilty embarrassing pleasures: Antiques roadshow, WWE wrestling
I watch the news A LOT !!! and get a kick out of Bill O'Riley.
Glenn Beck rules my world and should be king!
'Dirt Jobs w/Mike Rowe ,discovery and history channel.
That's about it really.
Books
I'm a newspaper reader more than anything, books are not my cup of tea.
I prefer to think of my brain being one big never ending book,with the storyline constantly changing and full of twists n turns.
It's been an interesting read so far, can't wait to read the next chapter.
Heroes
Musical ones.(more of a mentor rather than "heroes" )
Paul Rodgers
Freddie Mercury
Dio
As for 'real' heroes ,
I'd have to say anybody in the military and fireman police etc.
All the rescuers and behind the scene workers from 911 are big time heroes.
The concert for new york city with 'The Who' and others was a tearjerker and made me feel proud of all those people there.
My true true hero was my Dad who never did anything wrong..ever, and I mean nothing !
I'm not my dad, but he's in there somewhere.

Part time Roger..... as in lead singer for The Wholigans ...a Tribute to The Who since 82.
I'm human...although that's questionable depending on who you talk to '
I often question sanity(particularly my own)
I don't smoke or do drugs, but I'm addicted to the stage.
Technology confuses me, but I try.
I often wonder what and where I'd be before The Who and Roger took control.
I love beer & southern comfort (probably a bit too much) ;}
I miss England every now and then , especially the pubs and pub grub and hoyin a few darts wi the lads.
I love and miss my mum and Dad...a lot.
Growing up in Newcastle I was a MASSIVE NUFC fan in the 'Supermac') (Malcom Macdonald )days and when they had real stands not bloody seats ahll owaa!! to keep the hooligans off the pitch.
