QuestionTime With PPB, Instead of Sir Robin Day .

Mine was on a sliding scale and age related... In 1985 I got a measly £1.50 (I was 15). Barely enough to cover the gigantic can of silvikrin hairspray that my 80s hair needed every week. I soon got a Saturday job working with an antique dealer... Lovejoy it was not but it funded my addiction to black eyeliner and Paisley shirts.

Have you ever knowingly stolen anything?
Ashamedly yes. Back in my teens I played a lot of video games, and would often go to the newsagent to get the local evening paper for my mum. I used to slip computer/console magazines inside the paper and fold it up before taking it to the till to pay. I only did this a few times though as the owner started to cotton on to it and was keeping an eye on me so I stopped.

How many aunties and uncles do you have?
My dad was one of 8 brothers and sisters, and my mum was one of 6. The amount of cousins I have is mind-boggling!

Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money?
Thankfully no. I went to the same barber as my dad. Although when I was very young the old bloke who lived two doors down came and cut my hair at home, but he was a retired barber so it was fine.

Do you suffer from any food tolerances, i.e. gluten, wheat, lactose?
No nothing. I thought I might have had lactose intolerance as I thought milk often unsettled my stomach but I've that all the tests which show nothing.

Do you suffer from any serious allergies?
Not that I know of. I've never had the skin prick test where they put loads of stuff on your arm but I'd like to have it just out of curiosity.

What's the fastest you've ever driven on public roads?
Me personally probably about 110mph. Years ago with my dad I remember doing 140 following a Sierra Cosworth down the motorway.
 
Have you ever knowingly stolen anything?
Yes, I nicked a shop sign in Stratford on my catholic school 6th form retreat. It belonged to Anne Marie's bags..

How many aunties and uncles do you have?
2 surviving, everyone else is dead.

Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money?
No, my hair wasn't cut at all until I was 11 years old.

Details Mark. What did you nick and who from? I'm imagining it's from work.
 
Have you ever knowingly stolen anything?
Yes as a kid and got done for it, it was more for the buzz than anything useful, just petty shoplifting got a caution and that pretty much stopped me. Barring my collection of pint glasses and other random shit that somehow ends up from a night out
How many aunties and uncles do you have?
Err this is pretty bad but I'm never really sure I know I've got one auntie on my dad's side and 1 alive on my moms. I've got 1 uncle on my moms side too. Years go by without seeing them and they all live pretty far away
Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money?
My mom used to cut my hair, as soon as I was in a position to I put an end to that!

Nope
Do you suffer from any serious allergies?
Nope

Err is this a trap! I used to do a lot of driving for my job and drove way too fast. I'm pretty sensible these days and try not to go over a ton

Yes. A Hubba Bubba bubble gum, and I still feel bad about it.

1 auntie from my moms side still alive. None still alive from my dads side, although I used to have 1 auntie and 4 uncles.

Have you ever knowingly stolen anything? - if stolen by permanently depriving someone of their property, then no - though on a lad's holiday on the Norfolk Broads we did festoon the boat with bollards & lights from some impending roadworks in Norwich, but did put them back with others further up the river once we had sobered up a bit.

How many aunties and uncles do you have? - only 1 left now, though she's in good form for 90

Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money? - not that I can remember

Do you suffer from any food tolerances, i.e. gluten, wheat, lactose? - no

Do you suffer from any serious allergies? - see above

What's the fastest you've ever driven on public roads?

approx 110 - trying to see how fast a new purchase would go, then realising that it probably wasn't a good idea on a public road if I wanted to hold on to my licence
 
Have you ever knowingly stolen anything?

When I was 4 or 5 I was in a shop with my Dad and I stuffed my pockets full of random crap. My Dad saw my pockets bulging, made me take it back and apologise to the shopkeeper and I have never stolen anything since.

I did have 4 aunts but 3 of them have died so only have 1 left.

Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money?

None that I know of.

Do you suffer from any serious allergies?

Again, none that I know of.

Missed all these so I've gone back to when the thread was bumped.

If you could move abroad and get a job easily enough, would you, and where would be your ideal country?

Probably not TBH - I like England, I'd miss proper beer too much. Though I'd like more sun.

We're you ever good enough at a sport when you were young that you considered doing it professionally?

Not even remotely.

If someone offered you the chance to never have to work again, but only have enough money to cover your household utility and food bills, with a minimum amount of spending money (say £50 per week), would you take it? Or would you prefer to work and have more money?

Nah, I'd get bored very easily if I didn't have to go to work and I like the feeling of satisfaction of earning things by working hard.

How many friends do you have? i.e People you'd that happily meet up with one on one for a drink or some kind of fun activity.

Loads as I'm mega popular. They're spread out across the country though, selfish bastards.

When you have an ice lol are you a licker or a biter?

Both.

Think back to your first serious gf/bf, would you like to see them as they are today and to see what path their life took?

No, the past is best left in the past but I hope they're happy and have done well for themselves - it was a very amicable break up. No idea what she's doing now.

Last time you ate chocolate?

Eating it as I type.

So far this year, about how many books have you read?

9 I think - almost at the end of the excellent Agent Zigzag by Ben McIntyre

So far this year, how many times have you been to the pictures?

Just the once. The Force Awakens for the 2nd time.

Shower or bath?

Shower. I always get bored waiting for the bath to fill up.

Coffee - milk before hot water.
Tea - milk after hot water.

Mainly t-shirt.

What was the first gig you went to?

Eric Clapton at the NIA. He was amazing.

How many aunties and uncles do you have?

2 uncles on my dad's side
3 uncles and an auntie on my mum's side

Did your mum or dad ever cut your hair to save money?

No, but when I was at uni my mates and I used to cut each other's hair, as we all had grade 2 or 3 all over in those days so it wasn't worth paying to have it done.

Do you suffer from any food tolerances, i.e. gluten, wheat, lactose?

Nope.

Do you suffer from any serious allergies?

Allergic to being hit. It brings me out in bumps and everything.

What's the fastest you've ever driven on public roads?
