Maxijazz from Faithless gave me a lift home in his sports car, I tried to make a dignified exit and failed. Missed my flight to Portugal in the morning, and a week later Max wrapped the car round a tree and spent months in hosp. Auspicious times!

Burning Question

Past Burning Questions

Who is your weird crush?
- Bill Bryson. It's his 'umour!
What's your favourite cheese?
- Parmigiano....it has the lowest fat content and highest calcium! Also love halloumi, lincolnshire poacher and buffalo mozzarella....*goes into cheesy reverie*
What's your favourite thing on TV at the moment?
- Heroes......I just hope to god they pick up all loose storylines or i will be very annoyed! Like: what happened to the rubbish irish chick that peter petrelli snogged? And did I mention I fancied sylar? Beetlebrows n everything.
What's your favourite scary movie?
- Has to be The Shining....the little girls, the woman in the bath, Nicholson's face...eek! But Wolf Creek stuck in my mind for a year: vile and gratuitous, but definitely scary...
What's the punchline to your favourite joke?
- ...and thats when the fight broke out!
Who do you want to win The X Factor?
- Laura or Alexandra, which means a win for Chezza ultimately - her song choices were easily the best on the 1st live show.
What was your first family car called?
- It was an old navy renault, and we were only allowed to coo soothingly to it in french ('zut alors, mon petit cheri, oui!') when it broke down, which was daily, and usually on a roundabout. my mum loved that damn pile of shite!
What would be the theme tune to your life?
- Golden Lady by Stevie Wonder
What was/will be your first autumn/winter purchase?
- It was actually tights from primark, but for serious purchasing has to be brown slouchy boots - am doing pretty well on the coat front, and also pretty well on the black heeled boot front. Don't get me started, please - am coveting everything right now..
What has been your favourite moment of Big Brother 9?
- Kat's insane eviction interview
