Q: Do you have a nickname?
A: Hobbit, probably because I'm short

Q: How long have you kept a weblog?
A: 9 years.

Q: Where do you live?
A: 28 miles south of London, UK

Q: But was you born there? If not, then where?
A: I was born in New Cross in south London

Q: Tell us about your family
A: I have two brothers and 3 sisters. I also have biological parents and step parents and we all get on fabulously.

Q: Describe your looks?
A: I wouldn't be described as good looking at all, and I should have worn a brace as a kid so my top teeth overhang the bottom ones. On the plus side, most people think I'm a little younger than I actually am.

Q: Tell us about your partner (or ideal partner if you haven't got one)?
A: I've been with Gary for 7 years and he's awesome. He works for the Inland Revenue and his interests include films and art. He's a season ticket holder at Crystal Palace and in his spare time he's a Football Referee for Sunday Leguea . He is methodically tidy.

Q: For a day out would you prefer, a theme park, a football game or spend the day in a bar?
A: Oh, football , no contest. Second would be a bar, and I try and avoid theme parks.

Q: What do you do for a job?
A: I'm just a freelance entertainer. I do shows for child and family audiences. You can hire me and I'll come to your venue and do a self contained one hour show. It's like stand-up for kids. I also do a bit of DJing but not so much these days.

Q: Who would you sound like if I called you on the phone?
A: Hmmm. that's tough. Maybe the people on here who know me personally should answer that. It's a regional London/Essex mix I guess. A bit pikeyish I guess, but I can put on a posh voice if I need to.

Q: Religion - do you do it? If so what?
A: I'm very interested in all faiths and I enjoy reading books about different religions. However, I'm pretty much an atheist.

Q: Politics - right, left or centre?
A: Once again I'm very much interested in politics but because all of the main parties have undergone so much change in direction over the last 20 years, I remain a floating voter. I'm left wing in lots of respects, but I also embrace things from the right.

Q: Do you like it hot or cold?
A: I love rain, hate snow and take sun in moderation.

Q: Do you dye your hair?
A: Not anymore. I'd love red or blue hair but I'm not really young enough to get away with it these days.

Q: What book are you reading at the moment?
A: I'm reading Society Without God by Phil Zuckerman

Q: What was the last song on your Ipod?
A: Dirtee Disco by Dizzee Rasacal

Q: Describe your music collection?
A: Oh I'm so wide with my music. I love trance, rock, classical, pop, opera. Honestly, I can appreciate any music. Totally open minded

Q: SPORT - Yes or no?
A: Yep, I really love most sport. Mainly football, but I still enjoy cricket and tennis. Not too keen on motor sport though.

Q: Do you have a website/homepage? (leave link please)
A: I have a work website that I use to get bookings but as for a personal one - you're on it baby!

Q: Do you have a celebrity crush?
A: Oh God yes. Too many. James from Future Boy (ex Busted) has been an al time favourite. He looks like a cute monkey. I also quite like Simon Cowell and Cristano Ronaldo and Prince Harry.

Q: Do you have a celebrity hate?
A: I don't really hate anyone but I dislike Michael McIntyre, Chris Moyles, Bob Geldolf, Bono, Sting, James Corden,

Q: Beer or wine?
A: White wine in summer , red wine in winter or if I'm in a 'lads' environment like at football I'll drink beer but don't really enjoy beer that much.

Q: Home or abroad?
A: I love London, but I also enjoy visiting other European cities. Budapest and Prague are my favourites. I don't like beach resorts or anywhere you'll find masses of beer monster boys or slutty girls.

Q: Toothbrush - are you electric or manual?
A: Manual.

Q: Steak & onion, pork or chicken and ham? (pie)
A: Oh God. Sounds like the choice we get on the terraces at football. I'll give the pies a miss thank you.

Q: Type of the property you live in?
A: Me and my partner share a two bedroom cottage in a quiet village just outside Maidstone, which is the capital of Kent. However, we are just 2mins from the station and getting to central London is a breeze, so socialising is mainly done in the West End, but we scurry back to the peace and quiet after.

Q: What were your best subjects at school?
A: Drama and English.

Q: Spender or saver?
A: Spender I'm afraid.

Q: Which TV magazine do you buy?
A: I don't have much interest in TV stuff but Gary likes Total TV. It's the most expensive but we have it delivered on a subscription so it's much cheaper.

Q: What newspaper do you buy?
A: I get The Week delivered which is very cool. I like reading The Times in the gym. I like The Stage and Men's Health.

Q: One of life's regrets is?
A: I should have loved football at school. I was always the kid with the sick note from Mum. Now I really love it but I can't play for toffee.

Q: Coronation St or Eastender's?
A: Oh, definitely Corrie. So much funnier. I don't watch a great deal of TV but I find Coronation Street a bit of light hearted relief.

Q: What period of time would you most like to live in?
A: 1800s for the clothes. People were so elegant then. The women looked beautiful and all the men wore suits :o)

Q: Do you like questionnaires?
A: Oh hell yeah, me me me. I don't do pointless ones. But these tell us so much about each other in bite sized chunks, so they are totally worth it.

Q: Where do you buy your clothes?
A: Top Man and New look

Q: Cat, dog or goldfish?
A: All animals are cool. Horses rule though.

Q: Rare, medium or well done?
A: Medium rare if you mean steaks

Q: Happy or sad?
A: Happy (dumb question that one?)

Q: Do you drive?
A: I do but I'm not 'into' cars at all. We have one car but I don't coo or swoon over it. It's just a necesity of work.

Q: Have you ever been in trouble with the law?
A: Well as a kid I'll admit to having a one year period of being a real bad-arse teenage tearaway, yes.

Q: Is there an afterlife?
A: I don't really know enough about this to answer.

Q: Tell me something that scares you?
A: death or dying young, theme parks, another world war, the rise of religious fundamentalism, getting deadly disease when I'm young.

Q: How would you describe your personality?
A: At work on stage I'm pretty dynamic, inventive, funny, and often extrovert. Away from work, I'm the real me. Quiet, laid back and calm.
