1. If you could, would you be a movie star or a rock star? Which one, and why?

I'd like to be a rock star ... but those of you who he heard me sing will know why this can never be.

2. Have you ever been in the media (TV, radio, papers)?

Yes, in several minor ways. I was on BBC TV about ten years ago talking about Tolkien. I have had letters in the Times and the Financial Times, and in the Actuary magazine. And a poem in the Nottingham Evening Post when I was in a kid. Oh, and my photo in the Leicester Evening Mercury when they did a feature on the primary school I was at.

3. Do you know anyone who's been on a reality TV show?

No, but I was at Uni with someone who had been on the Krypton Factor.

4. Have you ever met anyone famous?

I was at school with Tim Munton, who later went on to play cricket for Leicestershire, Warwickshire and England.

I got Alec Guinness' autograph.

5. Who would play you in a movie?

Dunno! Jim Carrey, maybe?

1. You don't have to sing to be a rock star.

4. That's only famous if you know about cricket. Really famous is people (almost) everyone knows about, even if they'd rather not.

5. Nigel Havers.

On 1, I know, but I'm worse than they are!

On 4, I agree. However, even really famous people are often only famous among certain sections - and Tim Munton is probably fairly well known by many in say Australia and the Indian sub-continent tha

On 5, thank you.

1. What I meant was, some rock stars play instruments rather than sing.
5. Wasn't sure you would think that was complimentary. Glad you did. (Although he's a fair bit older, don't read anything into that).

This is true. It doesn't mean you should stop singing for enjoyment though.

1. You are right. I wouldn't mind having a go at the guitar ...

Nor do I intend to. (I do feel sorry for the people around me, though! ;-) )
