Pete !  

     what are your earliest memories ?

I can actually remember flashes of being born. I remember the room was painted light blue. Later, I was in a cot in a roomful of other babies, there were lots of strange people looking in on me - they might have been aliens! I can remember at the age of about two driving around the Mumbles in Swansea, meandering through the limestone cliffs in the car to Bracelet Bay - where our wedding reception was held last September !

do you remember your first kiss ?

Yes - I felt stupid because no-one told me you've got to put your tongue in !

 

What's your favourite music ?

New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Electronic, Kraftwerk, Manic Street Preachers, ABC, Mal Pope, Pulp, Moody Blues, Erasure, XTC, The Corrs, Joe Jackson.

  Favourite movies ?

Groundhog Day, Saturday Night Fever, Titanic, Ghost, What Dreams May Come, The Graduate, Notting Hill, The Truman Show, Little Voice, Good Will Hunting, Duel, Devil's Advocate, Barbarella, Muriel's Wedding, Back To The Future, Contact, American Graffiti, Shawshank Redemption.

    your favourite food ?

   Italian, Indian and Welsh cakes!

apart from Heidi and everyone you know, who are your heros ?

Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Stan Laurel, Mike Myers, Bob Marley, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi.

how do you earn a living ?

Electronic editor for a legal publishing company - sitting upstairs from Heidi!

Before that I sold computers for 9 months (long enough to give birth to one!); I was also a manager, photographer and trainer for Olan Mills Portrait Studio in Neath, Wales. The largest part of my career has been in the media - as a radio d.j., freelance reporter, and I even produced television programmes!

       your future ambition ?  

  to finish writing some movie screenplays and get things moving from there !

         what do you do in your spare time ?       

constructing web sites (like this one!), landscape photography, movies, I take an interest in environmental issues, Welsh affairs, dogs, acting and comedy, and oh, the "paranormal"!   ... so I'm going to write a film about a Welsh reincarnated dog who photographs the landscape, cracks a few gags and builds a website about it all !

  if you won millions on the Lottery tomorrow, what would you do next ?

i'd fund my first feature length movie, but not before Heidi and I have visited Rome, Oslo, Cairo, Crete, Vancouver, San Francisco, Sydney, Seychelles - and then we'll have a nice cup of tea.

See you in Vancouver when we win the lottery !

  See you in Vancouver when we win the lottery !

        which are your favourite cartoon characters ?

Dastardly and Muttley, Rhubarb, Tom & Jerry (including Spike!)

Muttley

    what are your beliefs ?

Bananas start out as tadpoles. That aside I believe in a multi-plane, multi-dimensional Universe.I also believe that we have one physical plane and we should have taken better care of it.

who were you in a previous incarnation ?

  Big Chief Sitting Bull !

          how would you put the world to rights ? 

   Tilt it a bit to the left.  I'd also have a go at redistributing wealth and power so everyone had an equal and fair share, and see if it makes any difference.Probably wouldn't - you humans are an iniquitous lot !
