bullet Herpetology; It's probably no surprise to you to learn that reptiles and their breeding and conservation rank highly amongst my interests. There are a host of web sites around sharing information on all aspects of herpetology. If you want to visit a site giving reliable information on native British species, visit  W.A.R.T. (Warwickshire, amphibian and reptile team). If you want help or information on rescuing or adopting reptiles, go to The Reptile Trust, or Proteus Reptile Trust.

                       

bulletCoventry City Football Club; I'm a Sky Blues fan, (to avoid confusing any overseas visitors their a soccer team). Currently we are taking a sabbatical from the Premiership, but as big Arnie once said "Don't Worry, we'll be Back"!  The official site is worth a look, but for a fans eye view try fanzine Gary Mabbut's Knee

bulletKarate; A long time ago (or so it seems looking back) I practised 'Wado Ryu' karate. I became a member of the England squad in 1979.  In 1980 I fought World champion Jeff Thompson in the national Championships at Crystal Palace. I lost. I'd like to say "Hi" to any one who's memory stretches back that far.

Karaoke; I know it's not everyone's idea of fun, but I do enjoy attempting to emulate my favourite singers. If I get enough requests, I'll add an audio file for your enjoyment.

bullet

Boxing; Ok so it's not the most 'PC' activity but I boxed for the Royal Air Force. My favourite all time boxer is Muhammad Ali "The Greatest". My favourite British boxer is "The Dark Destroyer" Nigel Benn.

Rugby; I love the game, though in fairness the best I'd describe myself is as a good club player. I'm lucky enough to have played in a variety of countries, and because I've travelled a lot I've changed clubs more than I'd have like. I'd like to say "Hello" to any 'Guilders', 'Stags', or 'Stumpers' reading this. I always wanted to give something back to the game and I gained a coaching qualification in 1989. Much to everyone's surprise (including mine!) I've come out of retirement and I'm now playing for Trinity Guild RFC!

 

bullet

Parrots; I love nature and I've a particular fondness for parrots. I own an African Grey called Jo Jo. If your looking at buying a high quality, captive bred bird from a reputable breeder try Pipers Piece

Golf: I've recently started attempting to play golf, not much progress yet, but I am enjoying it.
