Introduction I am a married father of 2 wonderful children. I love the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (learning and competing) in which I am a blue belt as of Septemeber 17th 2011. I enjoy working out in the gym, getting drunk on the weekend with my missus, watching films from Lovefilm.com (not a cheap ad, I really think this company rocks). I love going on holidays, particularly to Florida. I enjoy watching MMA (mixed martial arts) on tv or live. I love reading comic books still even though I probably should have grown out of that about 15 years ago. I like to eat tasty food, particularly Pizza, Curry, Pasta, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Sweets, Posh Desserts, Traditional English Fare and of course good old Sunday Roasts.
Interests Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (training, reading and watching), MMA (just watching and reading about), reading fantasy novels, watching movies, going to the gym, being a good (so I'd like to think) Father, playing computer games on either a PC or X-Box.
Favorite Movies Die Hard films, Matrix Films, Loads of Martial Arts films of varying degrees of quality, The Last Boyscout, American Pie 1 and 2 (3 wasn't AS good), Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick (should of been a third one), Happy Gilmore, Kingpin, Click, Catch Me If You Can, Romeo Must Die, Armageddon, Superman Films, Spiderman Films, Some Batman Films, Xmen Films, Gladiator, Highlander, to many more to be bothered to list.....
Favorite Music Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Machine Head, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Pantera, Faith No More, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Breaking Benjiman, Korn, Pearl Jam..... I could go on for a while here.
Favorite Books Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series; Raymond E Feist's Midkemia Books; George RR Martin's Song of Fire and Ice Books (Liked them well before the program came out) Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Series; Robert E Howard's Conan books; Brent Weeks' Nightangel books; Loads of Brazilian Jiuj Jitsu instructional manuals.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

Because the royalties from the musical would probably only just pay off my debts so I'd likely still be quite skint. :o(
