Starsign:
Sagittarius - half woman half horse
Born 'n' Bred: St Albans City Hospital when it had a maternity
unit, so you can work out that I'm pretty old. Caesarean section
- then kept in a dark room for 24 hours to acclimatise to the world
(apparently that was the thing to do back then)
Last job: Web Editor for the Herts Ad, Comet and Welwyn Hatfield
Times in Herts.
Football team: England, Ireland and Scotland - complicated
family genealogy!.
If it wasn't for... I wouldn't be working here: Mentioning
the bosses dog at my interview.
Most interesting fact: I have a 34 in inside leg! Well it's
not the most interesting but it's a nightmare buying trousers.
Claim to fame: Was on three quiz shows within six months
and won three holidays.
Most annoying trait: Lying to my children. OK, so I moved
one of their birthdays a few days ...
Most embarrassing moment: You'll need to ply me with lager
to get the full details but it involves a 999 call, the police -
and a screensaver.
Weirdest place you spent the night: Municipal Dump, Rockhampton,
Australia (well it looked pretty at night for camping)
Desert island luxury: Mobile phone to keep in touch with
my family.
If I wasn't at Beds, Herts and Bucks I'd be: A naked mud
wrestler, only with clothes on and not getting dirty.
Would hate to be in the Big Brother house with: Wouldn't
mind anyone - with my mix of great household tips and endless verbal
dribble, I'm sure that they'd be doing a Sandy after a few days.
Realised I was getting old when: I shared my household tip
on cleaning oven racks by soaking them in washing powder at a party.
Geekiest moment: Going into a shop just to tell them that
they'd spelled the word sandwich wrongly.
I realised why I needed to change my job when: I was offered
a job here!
Useful tip: Always tell the truth and wear matching underwear.

Starsign:
Pisces (24 February - time enough to save up after Christmas)
Born 'n' bred: Born Welwyn Garden City - always lived in
St. Albans apart from a year in Arizona, U.S.
Last job: Online journalist at BBC Cambridgeshire for eight
months, before that, a Web site Editor at the 365 Corporation.
Football team: Life long Liverpool supporter (occasionally
dabble with Wolves and Cambridge United)
If it wasn't for... I wouldn't be working here: The fact
that I don't want to be a millionaire
Most interesting fact: In a previous life was a Spitfire
Pilot called Roger in World War II
Most annoying trait: Telling all my friends that in a previous
life I was a Spitfire Pilot called Roger in World War II
Claim to fame: Paul Cattermole - ex of S Club 7 - has slept
in my bed (it was a long time ago and I slept on the floor!)
Most embarrasing moment: This is really hard - there have
been too many. Narrowed it down to two clean ones although you will
see a theme developing. (1) During an office Christmas party at
the Natural History Museum, I tried to swing on that big dinosaur
thing that they have in the main hall after one too many glasses
of champagne. (2) Had one too many lagers before a football match,
watched the whole 90 minutes then had to phone the office just after
I'd left the ground to see what the final score was as I couldn't
remember.
Weirdest place you spent the night: A lay by in Upminster
Desert island luxury: Sky Sports or Gary Lineker
If I wasn't at Beds, Herts and Bucks I'd be: Probably still
driving to Cambridge.
Would hate to be in the Big Brother house with: Alex Ferguson
Realised I was getting old when: I found myself discussing
a special offer on toilet rolls at the local supermarket with my
best friend
Geekiest moment: Realised I knew which round, and to which
team, Liverpool went out of the FA Cup to in Bob Paisley's last
season in charge and knowing exactly where I was when they played
Stoke City away in 1982.
I realised why I needed to change job: When I had to phone
Pam Ayres' agent to ask for a picture of her pet chicken. Or when
I found myself at Huntingdon Race course in the driving wind and
rain reporting on the Mascot Grand National (to understand this,
you should know that I believe that football mascots are spawn of
the devil and despise them with a passion that frightens me!)
Useful tip: Never believe the train information on monitors
at St. Albans station (or any others in the country for that matter
such as Burnley, Birmingham New Street, Sheffield - oh yes and Preston)
And don't drink too much at office parties or football matches.

- which isn't that great!

I was asked to go and take photos in the fake snow at Xscape in
Milton Keynes wearing strappy sandals! Like Katy, I know all about
my previous life - I was a Red Indian Squaw!

and wrong times.
Desert island luxury: Chocolate, a Jilly Cooper novel and
a snuggly sleeping bag - oh and a torch for when it gets dark.
