I could say something boring like the transport links, but I think it is mostly a reasonable place to live, there's some useful shops and I'd never go short of a Plantain! I'd like a nicer local pub, some newer buses and for the recreation ground to be a more pleasant place to go.

Ooh, I can't name just one! I watch a lot of sport, but otherwise comedies, music and other documentaries. Enjoying Coronation Street at the moment and I watched the recent series of 'The Old Guys', last week

That's not something I can see myself doing. Same for piercings, I don't think they would suit me anyway.

I think I'll choose a Penguin. Having only been in close proximity to Peacocks, on Brownsea Island, I can imagine a Penguin to be slightly less threatening, and less likely to steal my lunch. Both are very attractive.

I have never been very keen on going to the Cinema and I haven't seen Avatar, so I can't tell you what I think.
I know as much about films, as I do golf. I've never been much of a film buff, but I don't feel that I'm culturally deficient because of it. There is only so much time to fit everything in, I've learnt, and I spend enough of it in front of one screen or another.
Yes, maybe if I spent less than eight hours a day watching sport, I hear you. -
Cricket, followed by Football and then Snooker. I also watch Tennis and Athletics and I'm something of a glutton when it comes to the Olympics. I used to be quite keen on Rugby Union during the Will Carling era, but have drifted away from that now, I don't know why.
Football probably has the least reason to be on that list, I don't come from a family of supporters. The first match I took an interest in was the Wimbledon vs Liverpool FA Cup Final, in 1988. I remember confusing my Parents when I said I wanted to stay in and watch it, they reminded me I didn't even like Football. I did after that, I suppose. All I can remember of the 1986 Word Cup before that, was being upset that it displaced The Flintstones from the 17:35 slot on BBC One.
I follow Spurs and Sunderland, but not ardently. The latter because I had a lot of friends at school that did so (and they aren't Arsenal or Chelsea) and Sunderland because I was at University there and that will always remain with me.
Given my love of it now, I should remember more clearly when I started watching Cricket. People can always quote their "firsts" of this and that, or their "heroes", I can't. An early innings that stands out is Graham Gooch making 210 against New Zealand in 1994, I think it took about two days. I was supposed to be doing my homework.
My County is Kent and apart from England, I enjoy watching India and Sri Lanka. I got in to it because it was on all day in the Summer Holidays and nobody else in the house liked it. (Of course, the more something annoys someone, the more you should do it.) It was also on BBC One in those days, save for interruptions to go Racing. I appreciate the way a Test Match can develop over five days and I quite enjoy the statistical side of it all and the commentary. There is more to enjoying the game than the game itself.
Snooker, because I have watched it the longest and I can think of very few of the players that I dislike. I have grown up watching Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis and don't think I have missed a major tournament final since the mid 80s. It was the one Sport we all agreed on, in our house.
I've never been to the Crucible, but there's still time for that. I don't think the players walking out to a blast of Kasabian or Robbie Williams will enhance the game for me, but I don't think it'll ruin it either. I miss Clive Everton, who the BBC appear to be phasing out and of course, Paul Hunter.
I draw a blank when it comes to Golf and Rugby League, but at least I can identify a few Golfers. Bizarrely I quite like watching Swimming, even though you'll be very lucky to see me in a Pool again.
