First job?
A Saturday job at my local Coop Supermarket, stacking shelves and bagging fruit and veg.
Most treasured possession?
This is a tricky one as I’m not really a possessions kind of person. I do have a gaming PC which I guess is my most used possession with my most treasured being whatever game I am currently absorbed in on that.
Favourite record?
Very difficult to choose this one as there’s so much great music in the world. Anything by Jimi Hendrix or Miles Davis is about as much as I can narrow this down… I’ll say Crosstown Traffic by Hendrix.
Favourite book?
This set of questions has made me realise I don’t have a favourite anything! Anything by William Gibson, Ian M Banks or Terry Pratchett. The Neuromancer by William Gibson is a particular favourite of mine.
Favourite piece of art?
I do love modern street art with a social conscience, it’s like a natural progression from old school graffiti, so people like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, but as I have to choose just one I’ll go for Gustav Klimt and The Kiss.
Favourite website?
LingsCars is the greatest website of all time for all the wrong reasons.
Favourite film?
So any to chose from here, let’s say The Godfather Part 2 (or maybe The Empire Strikes Back)...
What did you want to be when growing up?
Taller.
