Many and varied from computers and web design to mountain hiking, playing texas hold-em poker tournaments, extreme cinema, music, reading and genealogy. For the last few years I have been studying with the Open University, and have graduated with a Certificate in Natural Sciences, Certificate in Web Applications Development, DipIT and BSc Degree in IT. Music is a great passion of mine, a regular Academy concert/Night & day cafe voyeur, I enjoy live concerts bowie, stranglers, simple minds, numan, eno, kraftwerk, smiths, joy division, stone roses, led zep, black sabbath, journey, 60's psychedelia, love, jefferson airplane, doors, prodigy, placebo, greenday, belle & sebastian, brian jonestown massacre, flaming lips, foo fighters, human league, ravi shankar, pulp, rammstein, arcade fire, interpol, kaiser chiefs, killers, iggy pop, jm jarre, morrissey, pink floyd, porcupine tree, queens of the stone age, steve hillage, velvet underground are some of my favourite bands. Watching the Toon, badminton, hiking and running are my favourite sports. Another passion is cinema, apart from being a mad Horror fan, any Eastwood or Pacino gets my vote. Check out my website "Dr Geoff's Horror House" - from classic silent to sick zombie gorefest, this site contains info, audio, pics and video on all your fave horror films. Finally being a Geordie, born in Newcastle General I obviously like a drink or two, but now a nice Rioja or Islay malt is just as enjoyable as a pint of Stella. Live long and prosper!!!
