Ask me gubbins. I'll try & be honest, failing that, creative.

      Animale by Don Diablo feat. Dragonette. It's a brilliant song with about 12 different remixes. I haven't figured out which one I like best yet.

      I'd rather not use female genitalia to describe someone like him.

      The greatest girlband of all time is OBVIOUSLY Bananarama*. But as I grew up in the middle of Girl Power the Spice Girls probably mean the most to me. That being said I went right off them as soon as Geri left - their third album is really ropey. I've bought all three All Saints albums but they never had as much personality, possibly because they were too busy trying to compress their vast hatred for one other.

      The only girlband I really like that's around at the moment is the new lineup of The Pipettes. Sirens are also pretty fierce, looking forward to their new album.

      *Shakespears Sister I don't classify as a girlband but are bloody brilliant.

      Not a huge fan of Starbucks - they're more or less heaving full of people most of the time and you're never given a lot of time to decide what you want to order. It's likea fast food chain but for coffee. I've been known to go to Costa though as A) Their hot chocolate is nice and B) They're quite often done as a franchise with Waterstones.

      I'm not very partial to most male rap/hip-hop. Much like buying me a copy of Autotrader, it does absolutely nothing for me.

      Possibly Hallam Foe. It's perfect. Although that probably says more about me than the film itself..

      That's a very good question.

      Most people seem to stop getting excited about pop culture as they grow up. As of yet this has not happened to me; pop culture excites me just as much as when I was a slightly awkward, rather weird 10 year old reading John Grisham and listening to Aqua. It's also a rather brilliant reflection of the wider social context of its time.

      I'm *currently* very excited about watching Black Swan, seeing Florrie live, reading Room (by Emma Donoghue) and listening to the new Same Difference album. Perhaps I have yet to grow up. A bonsai-person if you will.

      Although it's lovely thinking about all of the Beautiful People you could be....sod it. How about Courtney Love? You could hit babies and steal ice cream from nuns and run around naked and poo on things, everyone would just roll their eyes and go "It's just Courtney"

      NAH. But I can scrub up alright on occasion which involves artfully concealing assorted flaws.

      My parents seem to be weathering ok, so hopefully I'll inherit that. Botox looks and sounds horrific, like something out of a 50s B-Movie but *maybe* a facelift and an under-eye job when I'm 45/50. By the time I reach there perhaps there'll be awesome stem cell therapy. The thing is, plastic surgery is all about being in denial about the fact that like everyone else you're slowly withering away before your inevitable death. So long as you're under no delusion that you're not going to live forever then I don't see the harm in some minor restoration work.
