I know we all talk a lot on the forum about our favourite artists and favourite tracks and it's obvious we all share the same love of BGD music. 
But, i was wondering what other interests we each have, and if we have anything else in common? I would like to hear a little bit from each of you about your other interests, so i can get to know everyone a little better.
I will kick things off with a few of my own interests etc. Well, as some of you know my other real hobby apart from collecting & buying BGD music is autographs. I have quite a big collection which i'm quite proud of and i really get a kick out of writing letters to my favourite film, tv and music stars. But as well as that here are some of my other interests-
I really like Sci-Fi, in particular American Sci-Fi. I'm a bit of a Trekky and enjoyed the recent Trek movie as well as Next Generation, Voyager and the Original series. I also love Lost In Space and Land Of The Giants and have various autos from the stars.
I just adore Laurel and Hardy and have been a life long fan of them. Infact i was lucky enough to speak to Stan Laurel's only daughter on the phone, shes is a lovely lady and also answered my questions by post and signed things for me despite her crippling arthritis. I felt very privileged to have had that luck. Also i love the Three Stooges and as with L & H i have all their work on DVD's.
I just love Heroes! It's just so brilliant! Can't wait for the next series and i have been lucky enough to have beautiful responses from the gourgeous and kind Brea Grant, Hayden Panetierre, Greg Grunberg and Jack Coleman. The show rocks and is my number 1 favourite! I also loved My Name is Earl, god damn these execs! Why did they cancel it!!? I was lucky to get responses from Ethan Suplee and Jason Smith. I would just Lurrve to hear back from the stunning Nadine Velazquez and Jaime Pressly!
I am a fan of Scrubs and have been lucky to have responses from Zach Braff, and the very great John C Mcginley (legend!) I love ,most movies in the Sci-Fi, Action , Comedy and thriller genres. I'm a fan of older 80's movies too and whilst i own a DVD player and many disks i have well over 1000 VHS tapes!! I don't know, theres something about VHS which makesme nostalgic i guess. Plus if you stop a VHS half way through you can come back to it and pick up were you left off. Not so for DVD's especially if they are removed from the player. I like tactile things!
I enjoy my gadjets, such as my top of the range freeview box, my fantastic 111 Cd disk changer carosell. (That rocks!) You fill it with disks and it works a little like a jukebox. As i have constantly changing CD's! (Pet peeve!
)
I love computing and i love learning more about it, i'm self taught, but not brilliant although people always bring their laptops and PCs for me to fix. My PC is completely modded with a ridicolous ammount of add ons, Ram, various PCI devices, about 8 drives set up on RAID, Graphics cards, huge heat sinks, top Graphics cards and a powerful processor. I love missing about with it and learning purely by trial and error along with avaliable advice.
I enjoy biking, i'm presently single and pretty loving really. I used to be big into happy hardcore and whilst i still enjoy it if in the proper mood do generaly other genres nowadays such as electronic house if in the right mood.
I love my folks and dote on my 2 adorable young nieces! I just love to tease them too! I used to be into DJing and i was quite good at one point, i still own all the equipent inlcuding UV lights, smoke machines and disco lights, though it's not been used for a while. Though i could get back into it.
I enjoy shooting my air rifle and i also own a few lovely samurai swords. One is from Heroes and the other Kill Bill. (I just lurve Tarantino!)
I do quite a bit of cycling and socialising. Ok then, lets here a little about your other interests!
