1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?

Well, it isn't a bank holiday here! On Saturday, we went and did the groceries, came home and watched The Celestial Toymaker. Then Whitney went off for acupuncture. In the evening, we watched A Good Man Goes to War, followed by several episodes of A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

On Sunday, we tried out a different church - still an Anglican church, but something a little more Anglo-Catholic. After that, we came home, and while Whitney had an afternoon nap, I watched the latest Torchwood. In the evening, we watched The Gunfighters.

Nothing too exciting there, then

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt 2

We went to New Orleans for our honeymoon in April. Nothing else, sadly!

William Russell, for sure. It'd be like having my grandfather read to me!

I would say tomatoes, but tomatoes are a fruit, and not a vegetable... as vegetables go, I'd have to say parsnips!

6. What would be your dream job and why?

I think I'd like to be Lord Mayor of London (NOT Mayor of London - two very different positions!) It'd be great to spend the year representing the City of London both in the UK and outside of the UK. A lot of travelling, a lot of formal dinners - great fun!

Been to work, went to my niece's first birthday party, spent lots of time with good friends, had fish and chips, watched Doctor Who, recorded some new PS Audios, went to Arundel to see "My Mother is an Alien, is that why I'm Gay?", went out for Chinese, bought bunny supplies, cleaned out hutch, went for walk...

[Jon Masters]

Kung Fu Panda 2 - my fist hungers for justice

Had a week in Northumbria in May and a week in France in the summer - no more this year

Uncle Tommy B - though he'd throw the book across the room halfway through complaining about reading such sh!t

Roast parsnips

Something slow and relaxing - second hand bookshop keeper or professional DM

Laziness and procrastination, and liking being on my own too much so that I am anti-social.

The usual baggy Tshirt-shorts-slippers number that I trog around in

[duncan]

1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?
Spring cleaning. I needed to cut the grass too but it's too wet. We've still got tons of ironing to do from the holiday as well.
2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
The Kings Speech. It was great but I've wanted to go back a few times but my wife didn't want to see Tron or Rise of the Planet of the Apes and I'm not the type to go to the cinema on my own.
3. Have you or are you having a holiday this year, if so where?
We have already been to Belek in Turkey and got back a week ago. It was very hot (42 degrees) and we had our very first turkish bath.

I would have loved Lis Sladen to have done that.
5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?
Not garden peas, I hate them but I do like broccolli and cabbage.

I have this wall around me that doesn't come down until I really know someone. I don't trust new people easily. This is probably why I have never turned up at a PS meet despite living in London.

I have jeans and a white linen shirt on at the moment.

[Awesome Wells]

1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?

Redrafting/watching football/being ill/eating/procrastinating/talking/tweeting/etc.

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

Deathly Hallows Part II

3. Have you or are you having a holiday this year, if so where?

Little instances in the UK; no big globetrotting ones.

4. Which Doctor Who star would you must like to read you a bedtime story?

David Tennant does a fairly good job on those audiobooks ... I could say Freema or Karen but you'd get the wrong* idea.

5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?

Raw ones.

6. What would be your dream job and why?

It's not a job at all but I'd love to be able to draw and paint to a decent standard. I'm in awe of artists and graphic designers.

7. What size feet do you have?

10/11

8. Do you live to work or work to live?

Neither.

9. What is your biggest personality flaw and why?

I'm one big flaw. I'm like the interior of a dancehall.

10. What are you wearing?

A week's growth of stubble and a weary smile.

*right

[Rob McCow]

Jeans are the most popular PS trouser choice.

Closely followed by stubble.

[Si Hunt]

1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?

I worked some of it, I also went back to Clacton to see my lovely neice and nephew and drink lots of wine.

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

Oh I don't remember! It was a long time ago. I don't know what I did last week, you can't possibly expect me to remember that.

3. Have you or are you having a holiday this year, if so where?

I read that as "having a baby". No, baby, though we might go on holiday.

4. Which Doctor Who star would you must like to read you a bedtime story?

Adric in the "Four to Doomsday" spaceman costume.

5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?

I am rather fond of tomatos. I can easily devour a whole punnet of cherry tomatos in a morning here at Cockleshell Bay.

6. What would be your dream job and why?

The one I've got! Difficult to admit, but true. It's all downhill when I get fired from here for posting to questionaire threads instead of doing work.

7. What size feet do you have?

I'm actually comfortably wearing size 8 shoes at the moment.

8. Do you live to work or work to live?

Well I work to live in the sense that my main motivation for doing this is money. But also I recognise that sometimes you have to live to work in order to do well and make your life better. So a bit of both.

9. What is your biggest personality flaw and why?

I'm not very strong willed. I get carried away with the moment and if I get an idea in my head it's "Okay, let's do that then!" then I've forgotton all about it the next week.

Also I'm too easily distracted. I start doing one thing then think of another thing and start doing that leaving the first thing instantly half

10. What are you wearing?

A spaceman costume.

Si.

[SiHart]

A spaceman costume.

New dress code at work, Si?

[Dirk Gently]

Si is the Urban Spaceman.

[Si Hunt]

I'm subverting the concept of dress-down Friday and taking it to ludicrous extremes.

Si.

[Awesome Wells]

5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?

I am rather fond of tomatos. I can easily devour a whole punnet of cherry tomatos in a morning here at Cockleshell Bay.

Shocked to see you taking drugs in the office, Si. You've dropped a couple of Es.

[Alex]

1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?
It was spent going to way to many car boot sales and ebaying. Instead of drunkenly dancing at Reading Festival. I'm not happy about this.

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
The Inbetweeners - It was surprisingly okay. Though alas all the promised nudity was of the male variety.

3. Have you or are you having a holiday this year, if so where?
No.

4. Which Doctor Who star would you must like to read you a bedtime story?
Bernard Cribbins. Then afterwards I'd hope we could spoon until I fell fast asleep.

5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?
I'm quite fond of carrots these days.

6. What would be your dream job and why?
Stand up comic.

7. What size feet do you have?
10

8. Do you live to work or work to live?
A mixture of both would be nice.

9. What is your biggest personality flaw and why?
There's too many to mention. I need to stop perving over women so much though, that's for sure.

10. What are you wearing?
I'm currently naked. It's not a pretty sight.

[Darren]

10. What are you wearing?
I'm currently naked. It's not a pretty sight.

Waiting for Bernard?

[Dirk Gently]

Is that a euphemism, Darren?

[Alex]

Waiting for Bernard?

Oh no, I'd be in my full leather gimp gear if Bernie was to drop by!

[SiHart]

oh my!

[Darren]

I've got an old Uncle Bulgaria costume you can have.

[Dirk Gently]

I've got an old Uncle Bulgaria...

Funny name for it!

[Andrew Curnow]

1. How have you spent the bank holiday weekend?
Driving, snoozing, washing, waiting for Doctor Who, moaning about Doctor Who, cooking, and shockingly just a little bit of Christmas present preparation.

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Deathly Hallows part 1 (yes, I know part 2 is out now) at New Year. Biggest jolt of the whole thing was Claudia right at the end saying to me, "Oh yeah, I'd forgotten Dobby dies." I'd assumed my reading it to her when the book came out would be the sort of childhood trauma that would never leave her.

3. Have you or are you having a holiday this year, if so where?
No. As I keep semi-jokingly point out to my boss, I've taken most of my holiday as individual days doing either the Orthodontist visit (for Claudia's braces) or the hospital visit (for Zel's check up). Although I did have the weekend away at my cousin's wedding the weekend before the Bank Holiday. Which was nice.

4. Which Doctor Who star would you must like to read you a bedtime story?
Martin Jarvis. Because he's damn good at voices (as any watcher of Fourways Farm will attest).

5. What is your favourite kind of vegetable?
Well obviously potato is number 1. In the coveted number 2 slot... I like peas, but then I like carrots. But which is better?

6. What would be your dream job and why?
Obviously I'd be no good at it, and the 'net would go into meltdown in outrage, but I daresay being in charge of Doctor Who is quite a nice job to have.
(Although I can't help but think of Homer Simpson hoping for bikini inspector...)

7. What size feet do you have?
6. Assuming they are the same size as my shoes, anyway.

8. Do you live to work or work to live?
The second, although that's not to say I hate my job. But if our syndicate ever comes up, I'll be gone (well, we all will in fact)!

9. What is your biggest personality flaw and why?
A real inability to handle change well.

10. What are you wearing?
A question mark pullover, a long multi-coloured scarf, and a shock of prematurely-white hair. Or maybe some trousers and a jumper, take your pick!

[Awesome Wells]

[B]10. What are you wearing?
A question mark pullover, a long multi-coloured scarf, and a shock of prematurely-white hair. Or maybe some trousers and a jumper, take your pick!

This made me chuckle. Do you have the garb of a Victorian cricketer in the cupboard, topped off with a sprig of celery on the lapel?

[Darren]

A real inability to handle change well.

Same here. I kepp dropping those fiddly five pences.

[SiHart]

This made me chuckle. Do you have the garb of a Victorian cricketer in the cupboard, topped off with a sprig of celery on the lapel?

I've always thought Andrew had a pleasant open face.
