| Q1- |
IF
YOU WERE GRANTED AN EXTRA EYE, WHERE WOULD YOU
HAVE IT INSTALLED? |
| Kat |
That's
a difficult one without going for the obvious
answer!! Maybe I'd just give it away to someone
who REALLY needed one! I see enough with
my mind's eye. |
| Grant |
On
the top of my head so I can see when I am about
to walk into a doorway. |
| Fugue |
Back
of my head. |
| Kevin |
(long
pause) In the living room...
|
| |
|
| |
WHAT'S
THE MOST DANGEROUS THING YOU'VE EVER DONE? |
| Kat |
Climbed
in beside wolves at the Zoo to get some photos…
I got close too but I wasn't scared.
A female came within 7 ft of me.
I was exhilarated! Stupid, on hindsight,
but totally exhilarated! She looked right
into my eyes… Beautiful.

Q3- |
DOES
FUGUE REALLY WEAR THONGS? IF SO, WHAT COLOUR

I
can't comment on that one – you'd really have
to ask the man himself… |
| Grant |
No.
He doesn't.
|
| Fugue |
Well,
no – but - if I do, I wear ‘em back tae front!

(long
pause) Mmm. Yes he does.

brown. |

Usually.
|
| Kevin |
I
never knew he was gay!!! |
| |
|
Q5- |
DOES
HE REALLY HAVE NO REFLECTION?
|
| Kat |
He
is very bright, so in theory he should reflect.
|
| Grant |
Well
he doesn't like mirrors. |
| Fugue |
No.
This is the 21st Century – we got over
that in the 18th.
|
| Kevin |
I
don't understand the sentence…
|
| |
|
Q6- |
WHAT
THE HELL DOES HE KEEP UNDER HIS HAT?

head. |

it now. |
| |
|
| Q10- |
CAN
SHE REALLY PUT HER LEG ROUND HER NECK?
|

I can. However, if you want
photographic evidence of this, you'll have to
pay serious cash for it. |
| Grant |
Yes. |
| Fugue |
Yes....she
showed me in Mal Maison. |
| Kevin |
(long
quiet laugh) NO, but she can put anyone else's. |

|
| Q12- |
DOES

I don't
pay any attention to his ass.!!! |
| Kevin |
Only when
he speaks! |
| |
|
| Q13- |
WHAT
DOES GRANT DRIVE? SOMEONE SAID HE HAD A PORSCHE! |
| Kat |
(laughs
out loud) Who told you that??? Think
of the practicality of Grant owning a Porsche
ffs – he'd never get all his gear in it!
|
| Grant |
Yeah
right! Like I'd get a double bass in a Porsche! |

you want me to? No. But I have
considered getting my skull waxed! |
| Fugue |
I
have no f**king idea.

| Kevin |
I
am not intelligent enough to understand that
question. Was that a rap – what was it? |
| |
|
| Q15- |

Grant told
me he was.!! |
| Kevin |
(silence…)
Can I go and check??? |
| |
|
| Q16- |
HAS
KEVIN EVER MODELLED IN A GAY MAGAZINE? |
| Kat |

never mentioned it. WHY? Have
you seen him in LOUD n PROUD or something??? |
| Grant |
I

in a train magazine… |
| |
|
| Q17- |
HAS
KEVIN EVER DONE A MIDGET?? TELL THE TRUTH.!!! |
| Kat |
I
doubt it. He's very shy around midgets…
|
| Grant |
NO! |
| Fugue |
Well if
he's well hung, he would break a midget would
he not? |
| Kevin |
Can
you define the word DONE – I've tripped over
a few!!!! |

Probably
Kev. I downed a pint in 4 seconds at
a Pint and Sticky Bun contest. But that

| Kevin |
Rick
Waller. Or maybe Jacques Cousteau –
you'd never see him drown… No

it was dead. Well I hope it is
coz we buried it… |
| |
|
| Q37- |
DO
YOU HAVE ANY WAR WOUNDS OR BATTLE SCARS, IF
SO, WHERE? |
| Kat |
Not
really. I had a wart-like callous
on my finger that I had had treated by my GP
a few times, but it kept returning. So
I burned it off myself with a cigarette.
That was 2 years ago. It never came back
– and didn't leave a scar. Burning my
own flesh? Yes… It smelt rank |

Yeah.

getting old when you borrow your Dad's CDs.
Brothers In Arms… I want
it played at my funeral. NO I want
to hear it before I die – we could have a
funeral rehearsal.
I
was also listening to VELVET REVOLVER.
Impractical. You couldn't actually
make a revolver out of velvet – it wouldn't
work but if you got hard cheese and froze
it you could make a revolver out of it, but
not velvet. Try Stilton. |
| |
|
