BBC Radio Leeds station info

About Me 

Starsign: Aquarius

Grew up in: Weston-Super-Mare - (it’s the Monte-Carlo of the South West)

First job: Worked as a caretakers assistant at Weston College (arranged chairs and picked gum off of the bottom of tables…vital to all educational institutions)

First car: Rover Metro…four gears, crimson red, dashboard shook when you went above 70 mph (required a hill to do so). Replaced by another Rover Metro which had the steering wheel stolen…resulting in it being written off.

First record bought: Shaggy - "Oh Carolina"

First kiss: Rachael Woodhead, Priory school disco, soundtrack provided by Portishead. (don’t tell her though, I said I was well experienced)

My Favourite Things

Food: Mango and Sushi (not together)

Drink: Any Funny named continental wheat beer…and Banrock Station Reserve, Verdelho reserve (I don’t know what any of that means but it taste nice).

Place in the world: Sydney, Australia or the Beach Lawns at Weston-Super-Mare…either will do.

Place in West Yorkshire: The Adelphi, Leeds.

TV show: 8 out of 10 cats, 15 Storeys High...am I the only person in the world to have seen that series?

Movie: Withnail and I

Music Act: Jack Johnson, Damien Rice, John Martyn, Modest Mouse…changes all the time

Thing in your wardrobe: A fuchsia v-neck woolly jumper….its a winner (Ronnie Corbett loves 'em)

Possession: Nothing…I lose EVERYTHING.

Heroes (fave people): Broadcasting – Chris evans (even with those specs and that hair). Non broadcasting – there was a man once who got his arm trapped in a rock whilst climbing and had to cut it off with a pen knife…what a guy.

Zeroes (least fave people): Anyone who doesn't have a talent but still manages to court fame and fortune (only because I can't)

Hobbies/Interests: Surfing…what else living in Leeds? Music…if only I cold actually play it instead of pushing start on a CD. Eating nice food and drinking nice wine.

Best Radio Moment: Sitting next to the "Hoff" (David Hasselhoff) and acting out a Baywatch lifesaving scene with Karen from reception and some bloke called Graham.

And Finally... 

What would you be if you weren't on the radio?: Teaching naughty kids how to play sport.
