Enough of the doom and gloom, while everyone enjoys being locked indoors for 3 weeks I thought it would be nice to get to know each other a little better.

Do you have any claim to fame? Been on TV, in the paper or on Google Earth (@St Badger ?) or an interview with the Telegraph (@Le Tissier's Laces ), crimewatch etc.

I got quoted by the basketball reporter on the website of Canada's biggest newspaper, under my online handle, making a dumb joke. He rated my joke 5/5 stars.

Have you had any notable achievments? Can be anything. Climbed Everest, sporting, an award, academic, charity etc

My picture was on the website for some hot sauce emporium because I ate the hottest hot sauce in the world at the time, I'm fairly sure that's a massive achievement.

Do you know or have you met a famous person?

Myself and a friend of mine (who was a relative of his) poked a member of Canada's federal cabinet on Facebook. He poked back. I feel that counts.

Have you been to a football ground outside of England?

I've only been to football grounds outside of England. They involved school-aged kids.

Have you seen Saints play abroad?

Nope.

Have you ever broken a bone? How did you do it?

I broke a finger while playing during recess in school. My teacher informed me that it wasn't broken. It was picture day. My picture for that year features me with a thousand-yard stare because my finger hurt like hell.

I've also broken a couple toes just by walking around. One of those I broke twice: I tried to make a splint for it using cardboard and duct tape, and that caused it to heal at a strange angle. Luckily, a couple months later the toe got caught under my foot while walking and broke again, and it healed fairly normally the second time.

In what decade were you born? What decade would you have liked to be born?

The 1980s. Whichever decade wouldn't involve dealing with the shower of **** that has been the past 20 years.

Which foreign country visited have you liked the most?

Quebec's okay.

What is/was your occupation?

I manage all the things at a strange business in a strange land.

Do you have a tattoo?

No, because I'm not creative enough to think of anything I'd want permanently affixed to me.

Anything else you would like to tell us that I've missed out? A funny story, something bad, sad or mad?

I have five fingers on my left hand, but six fingernails.

Ha! That’s going in tomorrow apparently!


Have you had any notable achievments? Can be anything. Climbed Everest, sporting, an award, academic, charity etc

I won the school creative writing prize. Also lived on a desert island with twenty other people for six months in the Philippines. We didn’t even have radio, other than a five minute spell at sunrise where you could pick up World Service. Two hours from the next human being.

Broke a bone in my hand boxing. Broke my thumb playing football. It was a tremendous sliding tackle, but all my weight landed on my thumb! Got the ball cleanly though!

Anything else you would like to tell us that I've missed out? A funny story, something bad, sad or mad?

I once called Jimmy Carr a c**t. Because he is. I was also meant to go on a date with Thandie Newton but I backed out because I couldn’t be arsed. Charlotte Church also asked me back to her hotel room, but I said no because I had to be in London early the next morning for a label meeting with Fable.

Won The Lady short story competition and at one time was a regular writer in women's magazines. My win was reported in the Echo because I mentioned I was buying a Saints season ticket with my prize money. Also appeared on TV in the opening credits of a programme about the new Welsh Assembly...I knew nothing about it, so when asked if I thought it was a good idea I just gave the throwaway line of 'Why not...if it keeps them quiet.' With apologies to our Welsh fans

Have you had any notable achievments? Can be anything. Climbed Everest, sporting, an award, academic, charity etc

See above

Do you know or have you met a famous person?

The writer Lady Antonia Frazer who presented my writing prize at the Savoy in London. Wow, what an empty life I have had. Also met the writer of Some Mothers Do Have Them.

Have you been to a football ground outside of England? Which ones?

Was on a holiday in Portugal and the coach driver insisted on circling every main football ground we passed. Made everyone laugh (except me because I was enjoying it).

Have you seen Saints play abroad?

When they visited the Isle of Wight and played in Newport. The only won 1-0 and drank the bar dry.

Have you ever broken a bone? How did you do it?

Do I look stupid? This body isn't ever going to be risked.

In what decade were you born? What decade would you have liked to be born?

The '50s. I suppose I would have liked to be born in any decade after because then I'd be younger, but no real complaints. The great thing about being born in 1950 is that it is very easy to work out your age.

Which foreign country visited have you liked the most?

Italy up till recently, but visited Switzerland recently. Really lovely. Would like to see more of America but probably won't because not so fond of travelling now.

What is/was your occupation?

Research scientist. Worked for Beechams and then freelanced editing scientific papers. Latterly worked in Marks and Spencer...which was actually good for me in that I socialised more and made some good friends.

Do you have a tattoo?

So you still think I'm stupid. My body is a temple....you know, old and crumbly.

Anything else you would like to tell us that I've missed out? A funny story, something bad, sad or mad?

A quick review of nearly 70 years reveals...nothing. How sad.

Anything else you would like to tell us that I've missed out? A funny story, something bad, sad or mad?

My Kilimanjaro adventure was fairly eventful. Flew from Gatwick to Qatar, then was told that I couldn't get on my connecting flight from Qatar to Kilimanjaro airport because they had overbooked the flight. I was supposed to be starting my trek up the mountain the next day. Long story short about 18 hours later I got a flight from Qatar to Dar es salaam, and then another from there to Kilimanjaro. I then got a taxi from the airport to the gate at the bottom of the mountain where you sign in and all that jazz. Met my group and started climbing. I struggled with altitude sickness throughout to the point that they should have technically stopped me from attempting the final ascent because my blood oxygen levels were already dangerously low, but I (maybe stupidy) said I wanted to continue. That final ascent we started around midnight after an early night... not that we really slept because it was freezing cold. That final ascent I remember very little of because I was so out of it. I made it to the top, had an adrenaline rush and felt okay for 10 minutes, then started trying to walk down and couldn't. My legs would just collapse under me and I fell over with every step I tried to take. I was just not with it at all as my body started to shut down from lack of oxygen. I had to be carried halfway down the mountain in a hurry! I only have vague memories of being dragged back down and then being force fed some soup and told to sleep it off now being at a less extreme altitude. I consider myself lucky to have gotten away with that one and with seemingly no long term effects.

Tell us your secrets, it won't go any further than the internet. You might not get the chance again.

I was in a relationship for 5 years with the girl of my dreams, and 7 years ago she broke up with me. I've never really gotten over her and I don't think I ever will. It also killed any drive I had to be in another relationship so expect I'll be single until I die, which probably sounds dramatic because I'm only 30, but it's been 7 years and I still don't want to go down that road again.

Have you had any notable achievments? Can be anything. Climbed Everest, sporting, an award, academic, charity etc

When I was 15 me and three friends ripped up a fairly large portion of the ski slope at Soton sports centre because we thought we'd lost ecstasy tablets in it while riding down on for sale signs.

This went on for a good hour before one of said friends realised they were in his hoody pocket next to the swings by the boating lake. Was dreading a knock on the door for months. It never came.
