Stuff I like - Music and bands (obviously), writing, words, bookshops, saturday nights, talking shite, homo-eroticism (or so my partner in crime Biggles would have you believe but she loves it more than me I reckon) food that's bad for me, drink that's bad for me, big hair, cuddling, kissing, men who kiss your hand, London, JD and Coke (the liquid variety), my GHDs, my car (she's pink and is named Katie), taking photos, procrastination, drawing black eyeliner tattoos (anchors, I LUV MUM etc) on stunning young men of the indie persuasion with Biggles, sparkly things, disco balls, my friends, my family, my cats, INDIE BOYS with good hair, nice smells, make-up (eyeliner and mascara are particular favourites), rice, noodles and other carbs, gigs and festivals, scarves, religeous paintings, Chocolate oranges, the spirit of Glastonbury, creative swearing, Jack Daniels and my iPod.
Stuff I hate - Seafood, sea creatures, being underneath bridges, mystery meat, dance music, sportswear, The Daily Mail, management speak, the smell of vanilla, banks, Chelsea tractors, perms, townie/chav chic and missing my friends now they're scattered all over the shop.

I'm not right keen on violence, gore or general scary-ness in films.
Television
Mainly MTV2. The Young Ones, I'm Alan Partridge, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, The Mighty Boosh, Bottom, The Office, Blackadder 2-4 (the first one was crap), Catterick, Family Guy, Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Porridge, The Royle Family, (Thank the Lord for UK Gold), The Simpsons, QI, Ugly Betty, Hollyoaks (it's just so very bad), University Challenge (you get an incredibly inflated sense of satisfaction if you get one of the questions right), Father Ted, Friends, any historical documentaries or anything about London et cetera, et cetera. There was a series on a few years ago called Sex, Chips and Rock n' Roll - I bloody loved that. I used to like Quantum Leap when I was little.
Books
Catcher in The Rye, Z for Zacariah, Harry Potter (sorry), The Third Policeman, Dracula, Angela's Ashes, anything by Peter Aykroyd, David Starkey or Bill Bryson.
Heroes
Vic & Bob, John Peel (I interviewed him doncha know?), Carl Barat, Noel Fieldings hair, Ray Mears, Peter Kay, Tregard from 80's TV show Knightmare, Alan Partridge, Tim Jonze, Zane Lowe, Alan Carr (we have a pose dedicated to him), Russell Brand, Jack White (All men... should that be worrying?).
About me: If you've lost your faith in love and music, oh the end won't be long - wise words from Barat/Doherty. My soppy head believes in that completely. I'm a freelance music journalist/professional ligger with a nice day job in PR... I'm sure it all fits together somehow!
I'm half Irish. Nicky says I'm "a good egg", my bro says that I'm "elaborate". Someone I used to work with described me - to my face - as the "most totally disco person I've ever met" (? - she turned out to be a complete coke head anyway). I got told the other night that I can "knit words together like a bobble hat". I would like to own a goldfish named Lietenant Shinysides. Apparently I'm fairly camp. I hate authority - Down with the bourgeoisie , up with the proletariat - let's all become a big happy bunch of communists. I look like the Pilsbury Dough Boy - complete with scarf. I like to hear Caleb Followill yelp and scream and the way Pete Doherty sings "turns you into stone" on Death On The Stairs. I'm pathologically terrified of most sea creatures, especially crabs, lobsters, octopuss's and eels. I don't understand the rules of just about every sport - with the exception of pool and rounders. I have a stupid laugh which makes me sound like Muttley. I'm a good girl, me. I wish I wasn't sometimes but I canna help it.
I like calling people facists and riding around Tesco's in a trolly. It's good fun, I recommend trying it and getting your mate to push you around. The supermarket facists don't like it which is even more reason to do it.
My brother thinks that I like "fops" who "look like they'd lose in a fight". That's fairly accurate really. I love flamboyance and individuality in people, I find it rather admirable. I like blokes who sartorially indulge in cravats and effeminate scarf-wear. I have a scarf fetish. Make of that what you will. I am a happy, daft, affectionate drunk (meaning that's what I'm like when I'm drunk, not that I am a drunk in general.) I own Jack White's sweaty towel. I am a genuine Pigeon Detective - just ask Ricky Rogan. I like to spend Summer afternoons inventing names of cock rock bands, their subcequent albums and post-rehab autobiographies. Look out for Basqueing in Pork Glory, Knees Meet the Chin and Melon on the Forehead in HMV soon!
Who I'd like to meet: Dick Turpin, Beau Brummel, Adam Ant, Oscar Wilde, Vic Reeves and the Prince Regent. I bloody well love dandies, me. I'd also like to meet the usual musician types, Johnny Depp, Oliver Reed, Clint Eastwood, Holden Caufield, Derren Brown, John Everett Millais, William Shakespeare, Richard O'Brien, Fred Dibnah, Danny Wallace, W T Stead, William Hogarth, Ronnie Barker, Bram Stoker, Michael Moore, The Earl of Rochester, Rik Mayall, John Keates, W H Auden, David Tennant's version of Giacomo Casanova, Tyrannosaurus Alan, George the Volcano, Lord Byron, Father Ted Crilly, Jack Daniels, Keith Moon, David Bowie, Karl Marx, Stephen Fry, Donald and Davey Stott, Pingu, some pirates and a wizard.
Alternatively, anyone who's in a band, want's to be in a band, is a band, who likes music, anyone who wants a review and will give me free CD's and entry to gigs and anyone from the hood of Lincoln! A good haircut is essential too. You won't get far in this game with a low-grade hair do.
I would not, I repeat not, like to meet Jimmy Carr, James Blunt, Axl Rose, Fergie ("Boot-faced trollop" say the NME), Caprice, Jade Goody, Natasha Kaplinsky, any of McFly, Steven Segal, Daniel Bedingfield, Paris Hilton, the bloke who played Victor Tooms in the X-Files or Coleen McLaughlin. If those people could steer clear, it'd be much appreciated.
P.S. BRING BACK GLAM ROCK!!!

We've got a London gig Friday 11th July (so not really that close to you if I'm being honest ha ha :), but who knows ? and besides, everyone needs a holiday once in a while to remind them of how lucky they are to live somewhere where there are fewer than 10million people in a few square miles:))
