1. Who's your great idol in life?
I don't really have traditional sporting or musical idols. Closest thing to an idol I guess would be Michael Palin. He was always my favourite part of the Python gang and went on to make great T.V. (e.g. Ripping Yarns). Of course, he's been incredibly adventurous and travelled the globe in every direction and he presents it with a kind of nostalgic antiquated Englishness. He's also what I'd call an everyman. Humour, wit, wisdom and adventurous, that what I idolise. I guess the right answer would have been "My Dad."
2. Describe your latter formative years (14 to 18).
I was terrifed of class contribution at school. I wasn't popular but I wasn't a geek. I was in the middle. I didn't have a clue what to do with my life (some things never change). I was an average student, given the high standards of the Boys School. I was never going to Oxbridge like a lot of my classmates. I was a social pariah. I went to school and came home, that was basically it, except at 17-18, I started going out a little with my long term friend Eoin. Euro 96 was great, getting drunk and dancing in the street. Ah, memories.
3. How will you achieve your ultimate goal?
I don't have a fucknig clue.
4. North or South London?
My football allegiances to Tottenham lean me towards North London. You've got all the great rivalries north of the Thames. Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham... who's South? Charlton and... oh yea, I guess Millwall.
5. What's your favourite 5 films?
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Goodfellas
3. The Deer Hunter
4. Diner
5. Annie Hall
