Grommit Interview

I was asked to add mine.


What do you do for a living?

The misses and I stopped working a few years ago now. Everything is paid for, house etc and I have an income from some property, so we thought lets take it easy.


How long have you owned your FZ6?

9 Months


What other modes of transport do you have?

A Citroen C3 Slightly modified.


If you could have any bike what would it be?

At the moment a CB1000R, which is a 2008 Fireblade without the faring. To be launched at the beginning of July.


What are your hobbies apart from the bike?

Computers, Gadgets, Car, Animals (I'm a big supporter of the RSPCA and a full member)


What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?

In the middle of the Atlantic on a cruise ship, watched the sun come up one morning, amazing.


Describe yourself in three words?

Perceptive, untidy, impatient.


If you could redesign any household appliance what would it be and why?

Can opener, even the ones that split the lid from the can never quite work.


Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?

TCP/IP


If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?

Animal cruelty.


If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?

My ability to drink scotch.


Snow or beach?

Beach


Windows or Mac?

Neither, Unix or Linux
(I have an MCSE in Windows NT )


F1 or NASCAR?

F1, and MotoGP


Bon Jovi or Beethoven?

Bon Jovi if given the choice

Mariah Carey or Mick Jagger?

Jasper carrot

Comedy or thriller?

Both

Action or horror?

Action, Si-Fi really.


Meat or Veg?

Food, yummy.


And finally, your number one rule in life?

It is better to arrive at the pearly gates with your balls on fire rather than on the sofa watching Daytime TV

Re: Grommit Interview

Thank you Michael. It would not be correct if you didn't answer the interview as well since it was you who initiated it...
