What do you like to do in your spare time? 
Having recently purchased my first home with my girlfriend, we do enjoy binge watching various shows on Netflix. I can’t see it taking too long before I finally give in and get a dog. I also enjoy gaming and I’m a huge Man United fan.

It has to be Breaking Bad. I’ve watched it three times over and it’s always just as good as the first time! Better Call Saul is also a great watch if you enjoy Breaking Bad.
