So, what's everyone's interests outside Doctor Who (by the way this is the non sci fi category)?
I rather enjoy playing games like Sim City and reading Garfield comics. Plus I enjoy reading Shakespeare and Reference books. What about everyone else here in the forum? (No Obligation of course!)

I read a lot, though especially science fiction but I also read horror novels and scientific essays, particulary about biogenetics and strophysics. I work in informatics so I also read magazines about PCs and software.
I also watch a lot of sports, especially basket and tennis. Untortunately I don't have much time to practice sports so I just work out a little to keep in decent shape.

Reading mainly Crime fiction, love a good Agatha Christie, the Sharpe books are very good too.
Cricket is probably my biggest love, even more than Doctor Who, Surrey CCC and England.
Football, Liverpool FC and England.
Rugby Union, Northampton Saints RFC and Scotland.
Music, to a certain extent, particularly Oasis.
Computer Gaming and watching TV.
Oh and I like classic sitcoms like Fawlty Towers.

I like a bit of comedy as well, The Two Ronnies springs to mind as does Open All Hours. Shame about Ronnie Barker really.

I forgot to add what I watch on TV besides science fiction!  Well, my favourite shows are Buffy & Angel, The Avengers, Ally McBeal for the past, I just finished watching ReGenesis 2nd season (luckily in Italy we had the world premiere!). |

I'll partial to most comedy shows, whatever era and country of origin, and regardless of how cheesy they might be. Same goes for most sci-fi, especially 50s B-Movies with terrible effects but engaging storylines.
I'm into H P Lovecraft, Arthur C Clarke, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and anything that has a similar feel to it, and love Laurel and Hardy films.
Musically I will listen to anything except jazz, though I'm particularly into Depeche Mode and most 80s stuff.

Other hobbies of mine are drawing and writing unfunny comedy. Hmm, what else?   |

Just recently in Australia I have been watching Broken News(from the UK) which requires a sharp mind to fully appreciate it! Another Brittish show that I am absolutely loving is Absolute Power, which apparently has been around for a while, but we have only just been getting through the first season (assuming there is/will be more than one.
I will watch the new episodes of The Simpsons occasionlly.
I spend way too much time on the net browsing random places here and there
and my favourite sport is Cricket! Bring on the Ashes!

Ah, now I remember!  Another thing I like to do is to write epic novels, then not finish them off! Anyway, it drives the local publishers mad... ;D |
