The holidays – We're very lucky!

Chasing targets. Having to deal with students who deliberately go out of their way to wreck what you're trying to do – luckily this is very rare.

Love – The beach. Hate – Sea fret.

Super, smashing, great!

Sprouts - and hope I never see them again.

Pulling pints in the Sunderland Catholic Club. Like Phoenix Nights but for real!

My children when they were small. People tell me at least you know where they are at that age. I'm dreading waiting for them to come home at night in years to come.

My wife of course!

My children.

Giving up playing rugby too soon and not having guitar lessons when I was young.

I head for the hills either on foot or on my bike.

To stay happy.

Having to eat sprouts.

Getting married and watching my children being born.
