Hobbies

Some information about what my wife and I like to do

Reading

I enjoy reading mystery and horror books, with my favourite authors being James Patterson, Steven King and Matthew Reilly.

Computers

I like to think that I’m not a computer nerd, just someone who enjoys fiddling with computers and trying to keep abreast of developments. I enjoy playing computer games such as “Mech Warriors”, "FarCry" and "Crysis", whereas my wife Lesley likes the strategy games like “Mahjongg”, "Sudoku" and various versions of Solitaire.

Cooking

I enjoy meals which are simple, yet substantial. Nothing bugs me more at restaurants than meals that look very attractive, but there's hardly anything on the plate.

Television

When it comes to the old "idiot box" I enjoy shows ranging from comedy sitcoms like "The Big Bang Theory" through to police related shows such as “C.S.I.”, “Cold Case” and “NCIS”. I also enjoy some science fiction although I prefer "Fringe", "Warehouse 13", "Sanctuary", “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Star Trek: Voyager”.

My wife enjoys various soapies, from the Australian based ones including “Home and Away”, “McLeod's Daughters” and “All Saints” to those from overseas such as “Ally McBeal” and “Party of Five”. If anything on TV was going to capture my wife's attention though, it would have to be anything related to the music industry such as the Aria Awards, a “Top 40” music show or a televised concert.
