Question Time - Seventh Star

[Anthony Williams]

Oh, for Whitney - it's her birthday on Thursday

Same again!

[SiHart]

My Niece, it's her birthday on Thursday....

Same again!

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

My Mum (whose birthday is the same as Si Hunt's)

Who will be next person you have to buy a present for?

[Larry]

my sister as it's her birthday next month.


if you could invite 3 famous people from history (now dead) round to you're house for dinner and an evening of talk who would you choose ?

[Anthony Williams]

Emperor Constantine, Emperor Justinian and Thomas Cranmer.

Same again, because it's a good'un

[Alex Me]

Alexander the Great, Alexander Bell and Patrick Troughton.

The first two as the share the same name as me. And Patrick as I can't think of anyone else famous called Alexander, and Patrick sounds like he would be fun to meet.

Same question again.

[Lissa]

Eric Morecambe, Ernie Wise and Tommy Cooper. It would be fab.


What's the best app on your phone?

[Jon Masters]

The power button - it allows me to turn the phone off, so preventing anyone from phoning me

Same question again for hopefully a less facetious answer.

[Rob McCow]

Last FM. Quite pathetic really, it sends every song I listen to off to a database that I don't even look at. Coolest is probably the Google Sky Map which points out which constellation you're looking at. On a clear night.

How long can you go without blinking?

[Alex Me]

About 1/2 a minute.

What did you have/are you having for tea?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Pizza

What was the last song you listened to?

[Rob McCow]

Diminished by REM.

Now that REM have called it a day, what other bands should pack up their bags and quit?

[Alex Me]

Jedward, their crimes against music must stop!

What's your favourite food?

[Anthony Williams]

Coldplay. Good God, Coldplay!

In your opinion, who are the most overrated band of all time!?

[Dirk Gently]

Fav food, Italian. Mmmmmmm.

Overrated band, Rolling Stones.



Is that musical blasphemy I've just said?

[Anthony Williams]

No. I quite like their music, but they're essentially a fairly bog standard blues-rock band. Nothing special.

Aside from Doctor Who, what was the most recent tv series that you really got into?

[SiHart]

Mad Men. Excellent show. We're still a bit behind, but we're catching up fast.

What is your favourite sitcom?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Red Dwarf

Same Question

[Andrew Curnow]

At the moment, The Big Bang Theory. (I'm sure at least Jon & Paul will approve!!)

Horror film or Romcom?

[Anthony Williams]

I'm going to cheat and combine the two, and get Shaun of the Dead

What was the last film that you saw that really blew you away?

[SiHart]

Star Trek. Expectations were low, gobs were smacked!

What's the best way to deal with a cold?

[Anthony Williams]

Plenty of tea and rest. Failing that, a triple whiskey each night. That normally kills all the bugs!

How do you like to make your hot chocolate?

[Jon Masters]

When its at its worst - full flowing mucus, hacking cough etc - spend 24 hours in bed with lots of Vic, Soothers and warming soup.
Experience has shown me that being brave and fighting your way into work just means the cold lasts a lot longer and you feel more rundown at the end.

I have an INSET day tomorrow to spend all day being perfomance managed and to managed other people. What's your experience, if any, of performance management ?

I don't even know what Performance Managment is.

What is Performance Management?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

In a nutshell, knowing how to do your job and how anyone you are responsible for (if you're in a management position) is supposed to do their jobs.


What did you last have to eat?
