If you could meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be?  MJ chamone!  I will never forgive him for dying 2 weeks before I could see him in concert

If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be?  Jack Reacher from the Lee Child books would do

Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with? Least like?  I don’t want to be stuck!  I worry about how I would relieve myself if needed…

If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?  Hmm, I think most people would suggest clown for me

Would you be willing to eat a bowl of live crickets for £10,000?  Yeah, why not

If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?  MJ in concert

If you could have one superpower, which would you choose?  The ability to heal immediately like Claire Bennett in Heroes would always be useful.  I think I’m too scared of heights to fly, but I could trial that one first

If you could be any age again for one week, what age would you be?  Probably age 29 so we could re-do the Czech trip again!  Absinthe, Slivovice, Becherovka mmm

If you could plan a two week trip anywhere in the world for yourself, all expenses paid, where would you like to go?  The Maldives would be nice

If you could be a guy for one day, would you do it?  I’d give it a go.  See it’s really necessary to ‘adjust’ all the time…
