Books: I have a huge collection of books. I think for originality I must give the award for the best history book to Monty Python star Terry Jones for his book on the Crusades which was backed by an equally light (yet very informative) series. This is an example of history at its best. Novels: Jackie Collins is a good read. I have also read some of Jeffrey Archer although not much

Movies: The Life of Brian is the best film ever made followed by Blazing Saddles, Apocalypse Now, Moonraker, The World is not Enough, The Bounty, Der Untergang, The Bridge at Remagen, The Good, the bad and the ugly, Magnum Force, Spartacus, the Great Escape, Shaft, On Her Majesties Secret Service Comedies (All of which you can see here on You Tube!!): Black Adder, New Statesman, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Spitting Images, Not the nine o'clock news It seems as though all the episodes of the NEW STATESMAN have been uploaded here on You Tube!!!!!!!! This is great news and I suggest we all write to the Queen that this person be recommended for at least an OBE!

Music: Sound tracks from James Bond films especially On Her Majesties Secret Service and Live and Let Die (although Octopussy is weak and as for Die another Day and Casino Royale - I did not bother!!). Soundtracks from other films especially Apocalypse Now, Ogien i Miecz, The Bounty, Rambo My favourite musician is John Barry. Popular: 1976 - 1985 Frankie Goes to Hollywood, New Romantic, disco Have written songs since 1975. Performed own song Disko w Dorohusku on Polish television channel one (TVP1) in May 2004.

Hobbies: I am interested in the following subjects: 1. History, especially WW2 and have carried out original research on the Shoah and death camps on the Bug river some of which is available here. 2. Politics and economics. I believe in economic liberalism and am opposed to government interference. Bureaucracy engenders corruption. 3. Geography and travel. I have travelled extensively in Europe. I placed more than eleven hours of film of a journey I made around Europe in March 2007. 4. I know several languages but am not particularly interested in linguistics. I will be adding some films sometime in the future about history and a new look at traditionally held beliefs.

www.pbn.com.pl www.ceepackaging.com Packaging industry - Branding - FMCG - Point of Sale - Central and Eastern Europe - Macro economics. My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 625 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating! There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine! Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film! In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management). My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English. I have also a second blog on the site http://www.navigeo.net/blog/alan-heath-blog . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.
