HAVE YOU EVER SHOPLIFTED? WHAT DID YOU TAKE AND WHY?

Rebecca Cole: When I was 11 or 12 I stole a load of blue eye shadow and those rubber neon bangles so I could dress up like Madonna and sing "Lucky Star". I didn't think my mother would notice that I was wearing all this crap and then wonder where I got it.

WHICH IS MORE EXCITING WITH A MEMBER OF WHICHEVER SEX YOU "GO FOR": A CLOSE GAME OF TWISTER OR AN INTENSE GAME OF SCRABBLE?

Rebecca Cole: Intense game of scrabble!

WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE MILLENNIUM?

Rebecca Cole: I spent a quiet evening with my family.

WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER PLAY: A CLUB THAT GIVES YOU LOTS OF GREAT FREE FOOD BUT HAS HORRIBLE BATHROOMS, OR A CLUB THAT DOESN'T FEED YOU BUT HAS HOT SHOWERS AND BIG FLUFFY TOWELS?

Rebecca Cole: Hot showers and big fluffy towels.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PETS. IF YOU HAVE NO PETS, MAKE ONE UP.

Rebecca Cole: Martyn and I have had our cat Thor for going on five years. He's famous throughout the nation as the best cat ever. He likes to sit on my shoulders, play piano, chew through wires and cables and sleep in my bass drum.

WHAT'S HARDER: PLAYING SOLO FOR AN AUDIENCE OF 1000 FOR AN HOUR, OR GIVING A 30-MINUTE SPEECH TO THE SAME AUDIENCE?

Rebecca Cole: I'd rather play than give a 10 minute speech.

IF YOU HAD TO BE TRAPPED IN A TV SHOW FOR A MONTH, WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE? AND WHY?

Rebecca Cole: The Smurfs, because I've always wanted to be three apples high and live in a mushroom.

WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST LOOKING ANIMAL?

Rebecca Cole: Kangaroo.

IF YOU COULD HAVE THE "ORIGINAL" OF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Rebecca Cole: Leonardo da Vinci's notes.

NAME A COMMERCIAL JINGLE THAT, FOR YOU, WAS CATCHIER THAN MOST POP SONGS.

Rebecca Cole: Big Mac Filet-o-Fish Quarter Pounder french fries. Icy Coke thick shake sundaes and apple pies!

WHAT IS THE MOST FASCINATING SMELL?

Rebecca Cole: The ocean.

IF YOU KNEW THAT BY NEVER LISTENING TO LOUD MUSIC AGAIN YOU'D ADD TEN YEARS TO YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU DO IT?

Rebecca Cole: No.

The Minders are currently on tour with Elliott Smith...which is perhaps why Rebecca didn't have a whole lot of time to answer the Pointless Questions.
