Laugh track
What music do you come on to and why?
A song called Ruins by little-known Australian djent-metal band Circles. Like them I am fairly niche and not particularly appealing to girls. Thankfully though, I am not Australian. Simon Feilder, Pleasance Courtyard, 20:30
The Big Ask
What's your favourite of sandwich including type of bread?
Loving chorizo and avoiding carbs. So probably just chorizo on its own. Great sandwich.
If you could smell of anything all the time what would it be?
Scotland in the rain is pretty decent.
What's your favourite accent on a human?
Scottish. Not enough of them on the telly at the moment in my opinion. *clears throat*
