We asked him some questions…
Q. With lists due to the North Pole, what is in your list to Father Christmas this year?
A. To be surrounded by family and loved ones. I’m kidding, much rather have the new assassins creed because pirates are cool… And maybe a new Carhartt beanie.
Q. Where is your favourite Edinburgh spot?
A. On Carlton road under Waterloo place. That massive underpass is awesome at night, with its neon lights and all.
Q. What is your signature dish?
A. Used to be fat American pancakes but they can get boring… So probably Thai sweet chilli tuna burgers.
Q. If you were to have a dinner party of 4 guests, dead or alive, who would they be and why?
A. Four of Johnny Depp’s different characters so as to see how they would get along. I’d especially like to see how the mad hatter deals with it. Then I’d
probably have Raoul Duke (Fear and Loathing) to watch him eat the table or some shit, Edward Scissorhands to chop the veggies and John Dillinger (Public Enemies) because it wouldn’t work unless I had one sane person to talk to, even if its a gangster.
Q. Describe your first and fondest childhood memory.
A. Very different: first was biting a kid’s arm on second day ever of school and
missing break time, then fondest is probably skiing with my grandad when he
decided it would be the last time he did.
