The Moorings Bar has taken over most of my life. But this is usually a good thing.
Parrots, we have an African Gray unimaginitively called 'Captain Flint' and a Greenwing Macaw called Chilli Pepper
Music, live music, sound, sound systems, HiFi, and recording.
Alcohol, especially interesting alcohol. I use like to spending all night drinking one exotic drink to experience it's effects. All time favourite was Thatchers Heritage scrumpy. However I have since reformed and quit drinking.
Customizing motorbikes and cars. Currently running a Laverda Jota, a Harley Davidson CVO Fat Bob, a Kawasaki ZRX1200R, and a VMax I customized beyond all recognition, a hardtail chop with a springer front end, apes, and an S&S Super Sidewinder 100ci motor, plus a black 911 for daily use.
Metaphysics, the occult, magic.
Martial Arts - I study Kafdo Karate Aikido Jitsu (1st dan) and Street Combat System (instructor).

About me: By day I am the respectable Director of Personnel for an IT outsourcing company. By night I help run The Moorings Bar, which involves dressing up as a sort of pirate/biker hybrid, and getting my balls out a lot.
The following clip depicts me performing *COUGH* an 'alternative medical procedure'... All glasses involved were later destroyed, but the patient is expected to make a partial recovery.
