Matters of Pith and Import - A Diary

[AndrewT]

I'm a West London lad - was born in Queen Charlotte maternity hospital back when it was at the end of Goldhawk Road in Hammersmith.

Me too. I don't remember you being there.

BGT or The Voice? X-Factor or the dancing?

Strictly all the way - the other 3 can all GTFO.

Slightly distraught that Aliona won't be in the next series. Also, with no Erin, Vincent and Flavia there might be too many new people.

[AndrewT]

Which one Nick Cave album should everyone own?

One??? You jest, surely.

Do you ask parents which is their favourite child?

[pleno1]

How do you feel about your mod duties?

[Chompy]

Exo diary.

How did you feel straight after Robin Stjernberg's Melodifestivalen win and after he fared so poorly in the Eurovision?

Favourite Noodle Asia dish?

Is Celtic really a mod?

Top five tipsters on Tips For Tikay (in order)?

[Claw75]

Would you have started this diary sober? If not, are you now having any regrets? Bit disappointed that you seem to have got bored with answering questions already. Have a drink and post more pls

[AndrewT]

What are you passionate about?

I'm not really passionate about much - used to be poker back about 6-7 years ago. Used to fire up the laptop straight after getting in from work and play until bedtime but now it's only now and again. I have an incredible amount of inertia so it takes me ages to start anything. I also never really lose myself in anything either - there's always a level of detachment.

How would you pigeon hole yourself?

Dunno - is that a sex thing?

I always used to be the guy that just knew stuff - now everyone has Google on their phone.

What do you hate / like most about yourself?

Hate - the aforementioned inertia/laziness/lack of motivation.

Like - meh

You could have been a proff. at uni who argue over the smallest of things with other professors!

Obv sober Andrew couldn't have been arsed to start this.

It's hard work.

Would we have won £18,000 if we had saved you for the final rather than throwing you in on politics against Ashman?

[AndrewT]

Favourite film of the 1980s?

Trading Places probably just edges out Ferris Bueller.

Closest you have come to death?

When I was a kid I once ran down a hill next to a road up in Scotland somewhere (we were driving from London to Stranraer to get the ferry to Belfast and had stopped on the way). There was no way I could stop myself before getting to the road but managed to slam myself into the side of the car to stop. Had I missed I'd have gone straight in front of the juggernaut that went whizzing by and would have been smeared across the tarmac.

Your least favourite spoken word? (I really dislike egg and poo)

Need to think about that - nothing immediately springs to mind

If you had to make love to a man who would be the lucky guy?

Let's say Don Draper in Mad Men.

Well, I knew the ha-ha one, so we'd have gone to the next question and still have been alive.

Exo diary.

How did you feel straight after Robin Stjernberg's Melodifestivalen win and after he fared so poorly in the Eurovision?

I'd got a bit carried away with my staking for the bet so when he won I copped a very nice chunk. Bounced around the room a bit.

I still do not understand why he didn't get more points - it's a tremendous song. No one else really seemed to rate it either - it wasn't as if it was hotly tipped by people and then floundered. It's like everyone else is just deaf.

Favourite Noodle Asia dish?

I've only eaten there twice, and can't remember what I had. I don't recall being blown away by anything - I must have ordered poorly.

Is Celtic really a mod?

He dreams of having as luxurious a head of hair as Paul Weller.

Top five tipsters on Tips For Tikay (in order)?

I've swerved TfT of late - I've knocked the punting on the head and just have a few outstanding bets on the Royal Baby which I'm confident of landing. Obv your goodself would be at the top of the list - true geniuses are not going to be recognised by unsophisticated dilettantes such as Kendall.

[Geo the Sarge]

I have desperately underachieved in life, but that is due to risk aversion - I've always taken the low variance route through life, so I ain't broke or in prison, but not truly excelling either.

I feel your pain Mr T.

Firstly can I say that if ever anyone had stuck up a "who on blonde would you most like to see start a diary?" you would be top of my and I suspect many others' list.

Intriguingly and intellectually the funniest guy I've met. Reckon you should ask Tank if you can create a double act.

Reasons for having the attitude above. What did you want to do/be when you were younger?

Geo

[bobAlike]

You are definitely the funniest poster. Admittedly you almost lost that accolade to manuelsmum (Whatever happened to him?)

For balance and fairness do you have a really small penis?

[AndrewT]

How would a really small penis help my balance?

Surely a huge, heavy, freely-swinging cock would act as a counterweight, giving enhanced stability.
