As for cook books. I like Jamie Oliver's books, bugger all to do with triathlon but as an owner of many cook books, I find I use his more than most as well as

The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. My bible when making a Sunday roast.

I had a little trouble with the contrasting image of John as "a rough, tough Kiwi" who won't condition his skin or use an exfoliant because its not manly being the same person who has a man massage his gluteus maximus.

John: Real men don't let men massage thier ass. You need a lady woman masseuse.

Best movies:

1. Ground Hog Day

2. For the Love of the Game

3. Troy

4. Any James Bond Movie

1. Some Kind of Wonderful--classic 80's teen movie from John Hughes. I was in love with Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterton equally.

2. The Matrix--one of the few movies where you think "I don't know wtf is going on but I love it"

3. Moonraker--Roger Moore as James Bond. The first film I can remember "going to" as an 8 year old. I wanted one of thos dart guns that went on your wrist soooo badly.

4. Empire Strikes Back---Scifi perfection. Although if I could have a sixth,....Princess Leia in the gold bikini in Return of the Jedi.

5. Matchpoint---this one is for John, if he's questioning his sexuality following the massage..... If any man can watch this film without completely falling for Scarlett Johansson then they need to come out of the closet immediately.
