When and where did you last have a really good night out (not working)….where and why? This is going back but it was probably New Years, Bethnal Green Working Men’s club.  It seemed like all of my friends had spontaneously made exactly the same choice as me.  It felt a the combination of the best bits of a debauched filthy romp and the parties your parents used to drop you off at and pick you up from.

What’s your favourite item of clothing and why?I think it’s my old basketball t-shirt.  It’s aged with me over the past sixteen years!  Can you believe a t-shirt can last that long?  It probably can’t, still.  I like it.  Fuck, I am totally becoming my Dad.

When did you last shed a tear? Last week.  I get ambushed by things.  I hear bad news and I feel like I should feel terrible about it and I make the right faces and say the right things but feel completely empty.  Then, normally a good while later, like last week, I’ll be doing something almost completely unrelated and it’ll hit me.

If you could own any piece of art in the world, what would it be? Rothko’s paintings he did for the restaurant in New York.   I would quite like to get completely lost in one of those.

Who makes you go weak with desire? Phoebe (fucking) Waller (fucking) Bridge

When was the last time you embarrassed yourself to the point that you blush inwardly when you think about it? Not so long ago.  The old text to EXACTLY the wrong person trick.  Ugh.

When was the last time you told a lie? Saturday night.  I said ‘Hello, I’m Joel’ to someone and they said ‘We met!  At Latitude last year?  And we went to university together?  I was in your seminar group?  I changed my hair…’ – it was at exactly that point that I lied.  I’m sorry.

If you had to represent your life so far in a shoebox, what would you put in it? A pair of really well worn leather brogues.

What album will you keep listening to and never get bored of? ‘Stop Making Sense’ by Talking Heads.

You got a hot date/guest you wanna impress- what do you cook them? I’ve got a really good 30 Minute Recipes cook book.  I’m trying to learn what everything’s called so that when I’m asked this I can give an answer that makes it sound like I wouldn’t take them to Pizza Express.

What song will you have played at your funeral? ‘This Time Tomorrow’ by The Kinks

Should marijuana be legalised? Yes.  And then everyone should be really open about the dangers of it.

What’s the most embarrassing thing on your iPod ‘I’ve Had The Time of My Life’ – by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes

What makes you happy? When a plan comes together.

When and where did you last have a really good night out (not working)….where and why? Embarrassingly the last big one I had was New Year! Vogue Fabrics in Dalston, dancing and picking up a wig instead of my coat.

What’s your favourite item of clothing and why? Not worn anymore so I don’t know if it counts but a pair of Docs I got out of bin when as a lot younger. They have flowers and barely any sole on them. But they hurt too much now so they are sitting on my fireplace.

When did you last shed a tear? Not saying this to look hard but I find it near impossible to cry. I get upset, shout and all the rest a lot but not tears. So it was a long time ago, I think when a friend and I feel out.

If you could own any piece of art in the world, what would it be? ‘Morning’ by Agnes Martin.

Who makes you go weak with desire? Prince! I saw him at the O2 and screamed like a little girl for 2 hours.

When was the last time you embarrassed yourself to the point that you blush inwardly when you think about it? I was out and saw in the corner of my eye a bar stool behind me. Tried to sit down and it turned out to be woman doing up her shoe.

When was the last time you told a lie? 4 questions ago.

Who is your favourite fictional character? Window; my toy parrot when I was a kid.

What album will you keep listening to and never get bored of? Postal Service- Give up

You got a hot date/guest you wanna impress- what do you cook them? Sushi! On a massive colourful plate!
