Sports Okay. I confess: I'm a sports fanatic! Fully involved in both the armchair and real world versions of sports mania. I've been playing various sports all my life and watching a great deal on TV too. Primarily, I play football (soccer) twice a week. I've been associated with various teams in the COSMO League in Singapore since about 1994, and currently play for Team France (it's a long story...). I also enjoy playing tennis, table tennis and badminton when I get the chance. Armchair-wise, in addition to watching countless hours of Soccer on ESPN,  I'm passionate about watching Rugby Union. Looking forward to the World Cup in Japan/Korea, and seeing how my native England side compete with the best teams in the World.

Entertainment Bit of a catch-all interest really. I enjoy Movies, Music and Books most of all, but in terms of Entertainment, I think there are many subjects related to enjoyment that fall under this particular category. In Singapore, there's recently been a big push to improve access to high culture, and with the new Esplanade Complex about to open  -- I'm hoping to enjoy more live shows from around the world, such as Plays and Musicals. Specifically my latest indulgences have included; Ridley Scott's harrowing film Black Hawk Down, and Jonathan Franzen's monumental tome, The Corrections. "Miss Saigon" and "Alegria" have just passed through the country, and I also attended the first MTV Asia Music Awards Show which was certainly an eclectic mix of musical performances from East and West. 

Technology Being a late convert to computing and technology, I guess I've been more affected than most people by its impact on humanity. More especially when I think about the Internet and the power of "always on, always available" multimedia communication. From an English and Publishing perspective it really has moved the capability for expression away from tutored Elitists -- and into the hands of the public-at-large. This gives everyone the opportunity to be, not just famous for fifteen minutes -- but an enduring, dynamic author available 24/7 to anyone searching the Web who's interested to listen to their worldview.
