Like I say I wasn’t very social, I was a bit quiet and instead of getting a football or being taught to do football, I remember one Christmas just after my parents had divorced, I got a Sega Megadrive 2 and it was awesome – it was brilliant! I remember the first thing I did with me and my brother was to have a two-player one, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – that was basically what I did for the next two years of my life [laughing] so yeh, that sparked off a really big computer games sort of hobby of mine. It’s an awesome thing which…I’ve grown – I suppose I’ve not really grown out of it, but I’ve started to distance myself from it as of learnt more about life and I’ve actually become more sociable now, I’m not having to rely on it as much, but it was absolutely fantastic – it was better than any football I ever had because … I thought I know what it’s for… and I suppose I still do, give me the games and console any day.

Just the…the shops that they’ve got, but I don’t know really because…it’s just, Hebden Bridge is very…to me it’s very touristy, whereas Brighouse isn’t – it’s that difference – a lot nicer shops in Hebden Bridge, you know your old shops, and it’s a lot…quainter, do you know where I’m coming from?

It has been a thing yeah I mean, I’m in the building trade at the minute so, I’m following that through, and then, well I’ll see what happens when life comes along really, take it as it comes and see what happens I mean I won’t mind doing it yeah when I get a bit older into that sort of stuff when I’m buying on houses like that, when I get a bit older, and, so, so we will see what happens.
