My Interview
-
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
impatient, friendly, outgoing
Were you ever in trouble at school?
A few times…but generally I was quite good.
Who is your favourite singer or band?
If I’m going out, like stuff like Swedish House Mafia. Last music I bought was the LA crash album which is mostly Mark Isham. If I’m in the gym I’ll put something like Muse on. I’m listening to Dizzee (Maths&English) as I write this.
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
1. Work – wish I was better at maths. 2. Personally – wish I was going out with Mila Kunis. 3. I wish I had better teeth.
Tell us a joke.
Hmm…prefer amusing quotes. Bessie Braddock (to Winston Churchill): “Winston, you’re drunk”. Churchill: “Bessie, you’re ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober”. Bessie (furious): ‘If you were my husband I’d poison your drink!’ Churchill’s reply: ‘Madam, if I was your husband I’d drink it’.
