What is your favourite music
I have Rolling Stones live CD with ‘Paint it,
Black’ and ‘Sympathy for The Devil’ on it.
I play this more than most in the car and
what I am very proud of is that my son,
when he was only ten years old, told me
to turn it up as ‘Sympathy for The Devil’
was his favourite record. As for other
music it depends what I am doing. In the
gym I like to listen to The Ramones as I
get more done. If I want to relax, some
Miles Davis, but probably my all-time
favourites would be The Clash.
Who would you choose to spend
a romantic evening with, other
than your current partner
I’m not sure about a romantic evening as
you can never really know what someone
is like until you have spent some time with
them. Someone I always felt was beautiful
as a young woman and who I have
found interesting when I have seen her
interviewed on a number of occasions in
recent years was Lauren Bacall. However
if she is not available then the Jamaican
Ladies 4 x 100m relay team would do
nicely.
If money was not a factor what
would you buy tomorrow
A big, ocean-going motor yacht. My first
employment was as a marine engineer
working for the Peninsular & Oriental
Steam Navigation Company better known
as P&O. I love the sea and I love to travel.
This would allow me to do both. This is
of course only after solving world poverty,
hunger and people trafficking!
Which 3 words would best
describe you
Fit, bald and fifty. How would I like to think
others see me: honourable, dependable,
fun.
What talent would you like to
have
To be able to sing in such a way that
people want to listen instead of making
dogs howl. The human voice is the most
powerful and moving of all instruments.
What makes you angry
Injustice.
What law would you like to see
introduced
Laws are always difficult as we tend to
have knee jerk reactions to things that
make us angry, especially on big issues.
“Measure twice cut once” was advice I
was given in my days of being an engineer
working on large LPG plant. This is more
than just about cutting something to
size to make sure it fits first time, it is
about considering your actions and their
implications before taking action. So, no
major laws from me as I am not qualified
in this area.
Something simple however: I notice living
in Finland just how clean the place is
and how little litter there is. When I come
home to the UK it is quite the opposite
and people think nothing of littering. My
solution. An instant fine for littering, £10
or the option to pick up what you have
dropped plus another ten items and bin
them to avoid the fine.
What prominent person would
you like to meet
Nelson Mandela.
What book are you reading at
present
I have just finished One Thousand Years
of Annoying the French by Stephen
Clarke. This is a great read from a humour
and a history stand point. I thoroughly
recommend it.
What car do you drive
A Ford Mondeo Estate. Diesel.
Where would you like to be 10
years from now
On my big ocean-going motor yacht
somewhere warm.
She proceeded to remove
as many of her clothes
as she could to show her
appreciation of my music!
