pauln19641.Your name spelled backwards: sirroN luaP
2.Where were your parents born: Dad in Aughton Town Green near Ormskirk. Mum in Hereford
3.What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer: email
4.What's your favourite restaurant: For those I go to (semi-)regularly it’s a toss up between the Beijing in Stoke Gifford (duck to die for) and Juniper’s at the top of Cotham Brow. For probably the best food I’ve had, the Banffshire Club at the Banff Springs Hotel (beautiful food, just beautiful) and the Walliser Stube at the Chateau Lake Louise (the full fondue experience – three courses worth).
5.Have you ever been in a schoolplay: Several, my favourite being as the Inspector in Stoppard’s Real Inspector Hound. Went on to do a degree in Drama but rapidly realised the rest of the year were much better actors than me.
6.How many kids do you want: A continuing discussion between Penny and I. As one of two, she thinks that’s a good number. I reckon at least that.
7.Type of music you dislike most: Bleepy shit. Oh, and modern classical
