Favorite Music:
Everything from U2 to The Eagles, John Dankworth and Coolio ...but there's nothing better really than a pint of Chiswick brewed London Pride and live music down at The Brewery Tap, Brentford.
Favorite TV Shows:
West Wing (never quite as exciting at Hounslow Civic Centre!), Grey's Anatomy ...and for a bit of cheesy pop, The X Factor.

An old friend of mine, based in the Dominican Republic, has just come back from a week-long assessment to design post-emergency recovery/development projects in Haiti. I thought you might find his insights of interest.
