WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP?
Tim: Probably Fraggle Rock -- the first song I ever tried to write was for
the Fraggles.
Alex: Dr Who or maybe Grange Hill (okay, at points, The Tomorrow People).
Senay: Fame -- I loved that programme -- it's probably partly why I'm doing all this
dancing and singing stuff.
WHAT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING DO YOU ALLOW TO GET THE MOST OLD AND GROTTY
BEFORE YOU REPLACE IT?
Tim: Trainers, 'cos they were so bloomin' expensive!
Alex: I have a multicoloured singles bar of socks, testimony to confusion and
neglect.
Senay: Underwear -- who wants to go out and spend £5 on a new pair of pants?
WHAT SONG OR SONGS WILL ALWAYS MAKE YOU DANCE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU
ARE?
Tim: "Who Do You Think You Are" by the Spice Girls.
Alex: Ride My Bike - dauerfisch. top bass for a smiley face.
Uptight - Ramsey Lewis. Cool strutting and shakey leg.
"Baby, one more time" - Britters. It's all in the shoulders.
Senay: The best song to get me dancing is "Groove in the Heart" by Dee-lite -- one
of my all time favourite songs -- and "Don't Leave Me this Way" by the
Communards.
WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE MILLENNIUM?
Tim: I ate trifle.
Alex: Dodged the firework-throwing natives in Prague.
Senay: Me, my Mum and my best friend Jo went to London to watch the fireworks. We
spent the entire time walking up and down by the river and getting crushed in
the crowds and arguing and we didn't even have a drink! By the time it
struck midnight we were all desperate to go home!
WHO WAS THE WORST JAMES BOND?
Tim: I don't like Pierce Brosnan. He's too ironic, or maybe I am too
cynical.
Alex: David Niven, followed closely by Lazenby, who was less secret, more real estate
agent.
Senay: George Lazenby, obviously Pierce Brosnan is my fave.
DO YOU LIKE TO SHOP ONLINE? WHAT DO YOU BUY?
Tim: I don't have a computer, but if I did I'd probably buy interesting
breakfast cereals.
Alex: Far too many records... plus i enjoy the vicarious thrill of knowing a
Polish crime syndicate is desperately trying to locate my VISA number as I
browse...
Senay: I don't have a computer at home so I don't do anything online.
WHAT IS YOUR BEVERAGE OF CHOICE?
Tim: Um, Bongo.
Alex: Incredibly strong Colombian coffee with a dash of creme and cinnamon.
Senay: Softdrink -- Sprite or orange and lemonade.
TELL US THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN 1999.
Tim: Odd socks.
Alex: Singing "Born to Raise Hell" by Motorhead in the close harmony style of the
Divine Comedy with my mate Simon in the middle of Prague whilst wearing a
mask that spelt 2000 in spangly colours. We scared people, ourselves
included.
Senay: The only embarrassing things that happen to me ever are to do with boys --
this year it was me, a guy I'd liked for two years and a letter -- that's all
I'm saying.
WHAT DO YOU WISH THE Y2K BUG HAD "KNOCKED OUT"?
Tim: All of the electronic equipment that held the Oasis album on file. If
it had exploded maybe we would all have been spared...
Alex: Cliff Richard's ideas machine.
Senay: Boyzone.
NAME A MUSICIAN OR GENRE WHOSE POPULARITY YOU JUST DON'T "GET".
Tim: Two words.
Alex: Absolutely all and any reggae records. I can't hear anything in it. It's such
a bloody dull genre. Up-cha up-cha. All sounds the same. Drippily happily.
(I'll stop now...)
Senay: Boyzone and Techno.
IF YOU COULD HAVE A SINGLE MEAL FROM ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD,
WHAT WOULD YOU EAT?
Tim: I'd like some freshly made sushi please.
Alex: Not really into food. However a fresh warm bagel with cream cheese and
smoked salmon with a little black pepper is close to perfection.
Senay: For starters I'd probably have potato skins with cheese and bacon and sour
cream. For main course it would be my Mum's homemade lasagne and for dessert
it'd have to be profiteroles.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THONG UNDERWEAR?
Tim: The only thongs that I'd have anything to do with are the ones that
are played on the radio...
Alex: Surely it is the ill-advised beachwear of aging German lotharios...
Senay: Alright, I've got one pair of thongs but I never wear them. They were a
present.
IF SOMEONE OFFERED YOU 100 VINYL LPs OR 1000 MP3s, WHICH WOULD YOU
TAKE?
Tim: Probably the MP3s 'cos although I have no computer, my record player
skips and jumps even on the gentlest of ballads. Records have nice
sleeves though...
Alex: The vinyl of course. You want something to take home for your money, with
plenty to look at. If MiniDisc sleevenotes are hard to read, how bad are
MP3s!!! (That said, as I write I am listening to mp3s of the TLC album. Shame on me!)
Senay: I wouldn't be able to play either of them, but I'd take the vinyls.
WHY ARE CLOWNS SINISTER?
Tim: Beneath the makeup there is nothing but a shaked troll.
Alex: Strange violent men in makeup who hang about around children...you do the
maths!
Senay: Have you read that Stephen King Book? That says all you need to know.
WHAT WAS THE BEST VIDEO (OR COMPUTER) GAME OF 1999?
Tim: I enjoyed Kerplunk more than any video game.
Alex: Was there one where you can shoot Westlife? No? Shame...
I don't have a copy but I borrowed my brother's Playstation when ill with
flu; running Lara Croft around London Underground stations was cool. I didn't
have to buy a ticket either!
Senay: The best videos I've got this year are Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season One
Episodes 1-12 Box Set. Perfection.
WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT: TOM BAKER OR PATRICK STEWART?
Tim: Tom Baker could trip him up with his scarf...
Alex: Tom. He's a legend after a couple of drinks. Stewart would be trying to beam
some help down by talking into his watch whilst Tom cracked a whiskey bottle
over his head. I didn't say it was a clean fight, did I?!
Senay: Who's Patrick Stewart? It'd have to be Tom Baker cause I know who he is.
