1. Person - Such an impossibly difficult category. I couldn't ever say one particular person is my favourite, but I truly believe that despite what so many people unfairly say, David Beckham is a fantastic ambassador for our country.

2. Song - 5 Bottles of Shampoo - The King Blues. More of a music backed poem, but so much emotion and meaning behind the words - spinetinglingly brutal.

3. Book - 1984 - George Orwell. Intelligent, insightful, incredible.

4. Film - The Damned United. Brilliant depiction of a brilliant man.

5. Quote - 'I don't agree with what you said. But I will fight to the death for your right to say it.'

6. Food - Beans and grated cheese on toast.

7. Opposite Sex Icon - So many to choose from. Right now, has to be Blake Lively.

1. Fav Person - Tough one.. Gotta go for Bill Gates. He's donated a total of £28 billion to charity. Incredible.

2. Fav Song - So many to choose from but i'd have to go with A Certain Romance by Arctic Monkeys. Sums up my generation (as does the whole album).

3. Fav Book - The Harry Potter books of course.. I've read a lot of what people would call more 'intellectual' books and should probably say something like The Origin of Species yet these books always bring out the child in me.

4. Fav Film - Fight Club. Dark, disturbing and downright entertaining. Brad Pitt is a fantastic actor and this is one of the best films ever made. Oh, and everyone loves a good twist..

5. Fav Quote - 'May the Force be with you' :tounge: God i love Star Wars.

6. Fav food - Barbecue spare ribs from my local chinese.. what a delicacy! :rolleyes:

1. Fav Person: no idea, too many people for different reasons

2. Fav Song: Atmosphere, the Joy Division version, rather than the Russ Abbott one.

3. Fav Book: if based on the book I have re-read more than any other, then it would be either "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" or "American Psycho"

4. Fav Film: one of "Empire Strikes Back", "Godfather", "Godfather part 2", or "Shawshank Redemption"

5. Fav Quote: for popular culture, either "may the force be with you" or "live long and prosper", for politics, Bevan's comment on the Tories

6. Fav food: again varies as to my mood, but presently seared tuna never disappoints.

Favourite person = Peter Green (the greatest guitarist to ever inhabit the planet, at his best still sends shivers down my spine).

Favourite song = Need your love so bad (Fleetwood Mac 1968, the original blues band with Peter Green before the pop shit).

Favourite book = Wilt by Tom Sharpe (important to me because it made me laugh again after nearly a year recovering from a serious accident).

Favourite film = The Life of Brian (even thinking about particular scenes makes me smile).

Favourite quote = The Eric Cantona 'seagulls' quote (designed to confuse the media and it worked).

Favourite food = apperitif of gin & tonic, a nice bottle of red, scallops to start, sea bass for main, creme brulée for dessert, cheese board, coffee, a brandy and possibly a mild cigar. Maybe oysters to starts or both.

Favourite female = Big Mama Thornton (great black american blues singer/song writer) Elvis's 'hound dog' was written for her and her's is the original and best version, laid dead and undiscovered for 2 weeks in almost abject poverty in the great US of A.
