I tried some Wallaby at a Farmer's Market Stall in Australia. Not bad, quite a tender meat. When travelling I also tried Shark, which tastes like cod, and Calmari - which is nice, but there isn't much too it. I'm keen to try horse meat.

Budweiser is alright, but it needs a partner. I usually take a bottle of Bud with a shot of Brandy, or a Scotch. I usually sink a few bottles of beer, hit the JD and Coke when the lull comes and then finish up with a few shots for the road. I discovered Bundaberg rum when I visited my...

You made a point about the decline of Television, yet in the last 5-10 years, despite an influx of Reality TV and Celebrity trash vehicles we are currently going through a Golden Age of Television with numerous acclaimed dramas being churned out by networks. Maybe, just maybe there is hope for...

How's James Franco's Howl coming along?

Agree on this one, a beautiful documentary that borders on the unreal.

Have you not seem Metallica live? Yeah, I take your point about 90% of their recorded output post-Burton being shoddy, but they still put on a fantastic rock show. The kind of performance that a lot of bands today could learn from.

They lost me after Kid A. I actually found Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows really hard to sit through, in just seems that the bands preoccupation with experimentation has completely tarnished their ability as songwriters.

Despite the backlash currently coming their way - Florence and the Machine are actually a tidy live act, so I would recommend checking them out. It's a weird festival lineup though - full of nostalgia acts living from the past such as The Specials, Sly and the Family Stone and Faith No More...

Jackson Browne?

Ok I'm going to have to divide these into sub-categories: War: Tour of Duty, Generation Kill, The A-Team, Band of Brothers Crime: Criminal Justice, The Wire, Comedy: The Day Today, I'm Alan Partridge Drama: Heartbeat, Six Feet Under
