We were out last night at the John Barrowman gig at the Symphony Hall. I need to write about that, and also "Funny Games U.S." and "El Orfanato" that I saw at the weekend, but not tonight. I am very tired.

Instead, I have not done a 'Me Me Me' for a very long time. That will do for tonight's post.

What's the worst club you have ever been to?
I have been to so few clubs in my life that I cannot really name any. I have had a good time in all of them.

What's been your worst job?
The one I am doing at the moment. I have not had that many full time jobs in my life, so far, but am increasingly of the opinion that I must have been very lucky in that I really enjoyed all of my previous jobs.

Whats the best record ever made?
Oooh, lots of records are the best record ever made. "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles, "Country Feedback" by R.E.M., "36D" by the Beautiful South, "Northern Lights" by Renaissance...

What do you collect?
I used to collect comics. I used to collect books. I used to collect videos. (VHS, of course.) I used to collect prints. Lots of 'used to collect'. I collect nothing now except years and anger.

What's the coolest thing in your house?
I don't have anything cool in my house, but my TV is pretty good.

What's the best piece of advice you’ve ever had?
"Just because everybody else shits themselves, it doesn't mean that you have to." My Dad.

Whats your vice?
Food, drink and pornography.

Who was your first love?
Julie Baker. (Real name as well.) I think I was eleven. She was lovely. I imagine that to this day she has no idea that I adored her.

On a scale of one to ten how good are you in the sack?
I have been told that I am a one. Probably right.

What's your most prized possession from childhood?
I have a medal that my Dad gave me. It was engraved to a 'Private Parker'. My Dad said that it had been given to him for his services to British and Irish Intelligence. My Dad's last name was not Parker. I questioned him on it. He told me that it was his 'Secret Agent Name'. Oh, of course... How foolish of me. I think I was six when my Dad gave me that medal.

Have you ever had a homosexual experience?
No.

Do you have a recurring dream?
No.

What's the worst item of clothing you’ve ever worn?
Big shoes. Early 80's.

If you had a Tardis what time would you go back to?
The early sixties to meet my Mom and Dad before kids, age and illness got in the way.

What's your lamest claim to fame?
My cousin was in a band that featured pre-fame members of UB40. Also, I shook Pat Roache's hand (not lame, because he was a great guy).

No one is a 1 unless they make absolutely no effort.

Also, I agree on the job thing. Unfortunately for me, it was my first job that was really awful, and until I switched companies, I was convinced it was just that I wasn't cut out to be "managed." As it turns out, it was the management...It's a beautiful and rare thing to find a job where you really fit.

I had to google Tardis to find out what it was. Us poor colonialists don't get Dr Who.

Yes, it's me.
