The kids are in bed, my wife is preparing for the X-factor results, so time for me to bore you with some info about me.

1.Which do you prefer - shower or bath? And why?

Definitely shower as I find it more invigorating.


2. What do you swear you'll never do?

Steal anything.


3. What's the most embarrassing thing you ever done?

A good few years ago I went with my boss to the funeral of a colleague's mother. We'd got held up in traffic on the way to the crematorium so parked up quick and rushed into the chapel with about five minutes to spare. As we weren't close family we sat at the back. When the family and the coffin came in, and the doors closed we realised we had gone into the wrong chapel and therefore were at the wrong funeral.

I also had a painful experience with a trouser zip and a certain part of my anatomy. Brings tears to my eyes even now.

Austria in the summer. Very relaxing and the first holiday with my wife.

It was called a juggle ball. It was round and plastic with 9 coloured cups marked 1 - 9 and you had to juggle the ball to get a small ball inside to jump from one cup to the other in order. I was easily pleased!!
