Who is your hero? Mopsus of Thrace
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? A castle in the woods, with a load of wolves howling in the twilight. Or Mill Hill.
What is your biggest fear? Rotting in a ward with Alzheimers, nurses smirking and taking selfies during my senile death rattles
.
What is your favorite family vacation? There was only ever one destination...west coast of Ireland, two weeks of rain and wind (in August), constant smell of peat and cow shit, WB Yeats' grave, Queen Maeve's grave, insane cousins, cliffs, wild dogs, donkey derbys, ice-cold irradiated sea, spooky churches, mountain men with shotguns, fairy trees...a 'disco' called O'Gorman's that used to send out a Trump lookalike in a car with a sandwich board on top and a megaphone, advertising 'Krazy Nite Krazy'...
What would you change about yourself if you could? Sometimes wish I could go back in time and do a business studies course instead. Manage a hedge fund and never have heard of William Burroughs.
What really makes you angry? Wankers, pedants, the general way working class people are treated like shit.
What motivates you to work hard? Fear of homelessness.
What is your favorite thing about your career? Beats manual labour.
What is your biggest complaint about your job? That they haven't made me CEO.
What is your proudest accomplishment? I don't understand 'pride'...who sits around patting themselves on the back for quitting fags or passing a pilot exam?
