Hello to you, lf you have not guessed by now, I am John Mears.

I have many interests and hobbies listed below:

Electronics is my main career choice and I work mainly in the telecommunication industry, my job involves repairing AVAYA, LG and Spectrum telecom systems / boards, phones, switch mode power supply's, LED display boards (wallboards) and everything else associated with this particular industry down to component level.

Looking to move into the professonal video display industry as I have a very keen interest in this area, most of my knowlwge has come from "hands on" experiance in settung up my Sony CRT projector and also repairing the current display technology like Plasma, LCD monitors and TV's.

I also repair Videos, CD / DVD players, PlayStation 2 and 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, Microwaves basically anything electrical for friends, friends of friends and family. (o:

eBay, I am a keen ebayer, I buy broken stuff off ebay and fix it then sell it back on ebay and make profit, currently selling as much of my old junk as possible as I need to get rid of itt, you would not beleive what I have sold, to me its junk, to someone ells it treasure.

Computers, I built my own PC but also build / repair and load for friends. I have a Compaq Proliant 1600 dual CPU dual Network with SCSI Ultra 320 RAID server where my music library of around 140Gb of music and 400Gb of videos are stored, its now too small I need another one!

My home cineam system I built with a mint VPH-1271QM CRT projector, there's nothing like watching TV or playing Call Of Duty 4 on the PS3 at 120 inches, your part of the game!

Snooker and pool, can be seen most lunchtimes / evenings round either a snooker or pool table in my local drinking establishments.

Squash play quite a bit and am quite good as it dispite ripping 3 liggaments in my left ankle, it's not been the same since.

Music, I do like my music and have most of the latest "chart" album's. I like a wide selection of groups / bands from heavy rock to cheesy chart stuff.

Some of the stuff I like:

AC\DC, Coldplay, Muse, Lostprophets, Nirvana, Sum 41, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Gun's & Roses, Rage Against The Machine, U2, Stereophonics, Moby, Gorillaz, Ash, Kasabian and so on..

Film & TV, I like stuff like the Simpson's, Futurama, Lost, Prison Break, Sci-Fi, adventure and action films, may films I have on Laserdisc, like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and The Matrix box sets.

Playing my Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, and annoying the neighbours (o:

My MR2 Mk2 1992 UK spec and 1994 Japan import turbo cars, I have tuned my turbo to 340BHP 0-60 MPH 5 sec est with engine upgrade etc, it will give most high end sports cars a run for their money, both cars have their own web sites (top left) showing what I have done to them. These cars are very well built and great to drive that's why I like them and have owned 3!

Crazy experiments, like thermite reactions, blowing the hell out of old electronic junk I have collected over the years.

Now "bite my shiny metal ass" and go explore the rest of my site.

Have fun.

John.....
