and generally acting somewhere equidistant between my age and my shoe size :)
oh, and I've got a bit to do with a company called FLi Distribution who distribute Electric Visual, Solid Bike, Chumba Racing, BiLT, Reverse and Imperial Components in the UK
Music
Mid 90's indie is where it was at for me. Bands like Carter, Stone Roses, Neds, Levellers, and the Wonderstuff are what got me into music in the first place.
Prob easiest to define my musical taste by the bands i've seen over the years, which include: Ash, Audioweb, Beck, Belly, Bjork, Black Grape, Boo Radleys, Blur, Bluetones, Carter, Cast, Catatonia, Chemical Brothers, Cure, Dodgy, Dubstar, Deftones. Echobelly, Elastica, Faithless, Foo Fighters, Fratellis, Garbage, Gene, Gorky's, Greenday, Hole, Ice T, Kula Shaker, My Chemical Romance, Levellers, Manics, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Northern Uproar, Oasis, Offspring, Orbital, Paul Weller, Pulp, Prodigy, Rage Against the Machine, Richard Ashcroft, Senseless Things, Silver Sun, 60 ft Dolls, Shed Seven, Skunk Anansie, Sleeper, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Space, Supergrass, Stone Roses, Super Furry Animals, Teenage Fanclub, Tricky, Underworld, Vent, Wedding Present, and the Wonderstuff are just a few I can think of off the top of my head.
My CD collection is a bit more varied though, cos there is a lot of music I listen to that I wouldn't really want to go and see live.
Movies
Defo part of the star wars generation. Not been able to bring myself to watch the most recent 3. oh, and all the MTB DH films - like Earthed, Sprung, Hypnosis, Synopsis, Super 8 and Drift........ racing not hucking!
Its all about Lost! not much time for anything else, although an episode of friends every now and then never did anyone any harm :)
seem to be spending more time listening to the radio at the mo, lovin' the fact I can listen to XFM at work. But best bit of the week is Annie Mac on radio1
Books
not had time to read a book in years! Did read touching the void on the train about 4 years ago - that was good.

and kerry cant decide on what shade of pink as she has too much choice, she wants something bright and sparkly, if that makes any sense?! She likes the iron horse pink a bit as well if that helps as a start...

Two women were riding their rickety old bikes down the back streets of Rome one late afternoon. As it turns dusk, the increasing darkness starts making one of the women a little nervous. She leans over to the other and says, "You know, I've never come this way before." The other says, "It's the cobblestones."
