Nothing outlandish for me, just the usual - reading, films, music, radio - lots of good comedies on Radio4 in the 6.30 slot, Hut44 has been good.

When it's raining: Reading, films, classic tv shows and also watching film clips and old songs/tv theme tunes on youtube. Particular favourites:
White Horses by Jackie
Inside by Stiltskin
intro from Watchtower by Hendrix (rest of song is pants)
Casey Jones theme
Champion the Wonder Horse
HR Pufinstuf
Robinson Crusoe tv theme
"Funny How?" from Goodfellas
"Yo Homie" From Collateral (As a Croydon lad I can watch those two muggers being clipped over and over again)
"Unleash Hell" from Gladiator
Final battle and rousing Welsh song from Zulu. Always brings a tear to the eye.
Bank robbery shootout from Heat
Bullitt car chase

When sunny:
Cricket with Dombo Jr in garden.
Badders with Miss Dombo in garden. (not Mrs Dombo as she'll cream me)
Dozing in hammock with good book, cold beer and plate of olives, salami and bread :D

Well done Marco for spotting it, you are the third person, the others were Dave and Alan would you know. Holly J as we call him in the club has a very distinct profile that lends itself to a specialized tarmac. 8)

I stand corrected. Just watched the studio and IoW Live versions all the way through and then played the CD through the dvd player.
Pure musical genius.

I just listened to Champion the Wonder Horse theme tune on You Tube. That takes me back, there were re-runs on tv back when I was horse (and singing ) mad used to drive my friend Pam nuts!

Ah that takes me back Keith, I used to get Max Power for a while when it first came out (from the first issue which must be going back a bit now). My car at the time was a black mk2 XR2 so I think it was a compulsory purchase with the car :lol: . It wasn't modified as the insurance was expensive enough as it was, great little car though.

I have a confession to make.
I have a stamp collection and a model railway in the back of a cupboard somewhere.
