Chloe O'briens Interview
1. What made you join SoapBoards and how has your time on here changed over the years?
1) I used to read the posts and spoilers on the bbc board and I thought about joining it but by the time I worked up the courage to join they had announced they were closing it so I didn't bother. I followed the link to hear and lurked about a bit before I joined. I was terrified to join because I thought no-one would speak to me.
2. What are your Hobbies and how did you get into them?
2)I don't have many hobbies apart from reading as I'm usually busy taking Marley to judo or other activites. I would like to take up a dance class like salsa or do pole dancing like Shiv. but there's nothing like that near were I live.
3. Do you have any special talent or ability?
3)No sorry. I'm very boring but I have a big heart.
4. Do you have a favourite quote from literature, TV, a famous person, etc.? Explain why it is your favourite.
4) It may not be a famous quote but it sum's my life up and it bought a tear to my eye when I heard it. It's from the disney film Lilo and Stitch. Stitch is about to be shipped back to the planet he came from and he is brought in front of the ailen court. He gives his reasons for wanting to stay with Lila. He tells the Ailen Council. "This is my family, it is small and broken but it's still good."
Those 13 words are Marley and me.
5. What do you consider your best physical feature and your best aspect of your personality?
5) My breasts. I see loads of women on the telly having implants to make their boobs bigger and I think mines are stil bigger and their home-grown.
I'm loyal and caring I would give my last penny away.
6. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
6) My eyes. I've had a lazy eye since I was three and my eyesight is poor. I hate getting my photo taken because it shows up. It turns inwards when I'm tired or drunk. It used to be quiet bad when I was younger. my sisters and brothers used to call me Clarence after the ****-eyed lion on a programme called Daktari.
7. Do you have a life philosophy? Is so, what is it?
7)What's meant for you won't pass you by.
8. What are the happiest and Saddest moments of your life?
8)Happiest Having Marley. Saddest. Loosing both my parents within 4 months to cancer.
9. What’s the craziest thing you've ever done?
9)Me and my mate Susan once hotwired a newspaper van when we came out of a nightclub at 4am one morning. It was freezing and we were starving but the kebab shop was a mile and a half away. We spotted this van. the guy had left the keys while he made deliveries to the shops so we hijacked it. She worked the gears and I drove. We dumped it round the corner from the kebab shop.
10. Do you have any regrets, if yes, what and why?
10) No regrets you can't go back. I have been disapointed at how somethings have turned out, but if they're not meant to be then there's nothing you can do to change it.
11. who’s your Idol and why?
11) Judy Garland or Viven Leigh. I used to loved watching the old movies on a saturday afternoon. Musicals were my favourite.
12. If were an animal what would you be and why?
12) A lion. I'm fearless protective of those I love and care about and will defend anyone. I can be cuddly and caring, but get on my badside and you will hear me roar.
13. If you were any object, what would you be and why?
13)One of Orla Jordan's outfits on SCD.
14. What quality do you like best in a person and what quality do you hate the most?
14)I like someone who can make me laugh. Snobbery. I hate people who think they are better than others.
15. If heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
15) I would like to think that St Peter would say. Ah look my Lord we have a lost lamb returning to the flock. But in the words of the great Chris Martin. I know Staint Peter won't call my name.

Members Questions

Submitted by Perdita
1. Do you speak any other language apart from English (Scottish )

Sadly no. I did get taught a little latin at school but I have forgotten. I would love to learn to speak Gaelic. It should be mandatory in Scottish Schools.
2. Where do you work and is it something you always wanted to do?

I worked in a further education college, where I'm the clerical for the Science, sport and engineering faculty. I only learned office skills ten years ago after having Marley I returned to full-time education to learn new skills. Since leaving school I have done a number of jobs. When I was at school I was interested in joinery and technical drawing and I was planning to work in that trade, but the old dragon of a school nun destroyed that idea. I was supposed to go out on a month long work placement with a joinery firm but Sister Mary Rose who was my guidence teacher blocked it as she decided that I should use the time to study for my exams so I never go to go on placement. After that I lost interest in school and joinery as soon as I was 16 I was out of there and went into the big bad world of employment.

3. Marshmallows or whipped cream with a hot chocolate?

Neither I just prefer plain hot chocolate.

1) Which of the SBBB characters did you enjoy playing the most?

Probably the first one Odessa. I was fairly new to SB when the idea of SBBB came about I thought it would be a good way to meet and chat to other members. But I read the instructions wrong and blew my cover before the game began. My chloe account was only at about 500 posts and on the instructions it said we had to be at over 1000 before SBBB started. I panicked as I thought it meant the Odessa account had to be over 1000 posts so I started spamming the boards posting everywhere, until I got a row from Bryan This was 2 weeks before SBBB had even started. By the time SBBB began I had been rummbled it was the worst kept secret in soapboards. but it was a laugh.

2) If you were not doing what you are doing now, what would you like to be doing?

I enjoy the work that I'm doing at the moment, I could do with more hours. Apart from that I would have like to have stuck with the joinery or work with Animals. Maybe a vet.

3)Which 3 items could you not live without?

Ipod, watch and scottish blend tea-bags.

4)Which 3 people would you miss most in your life?

1)Marley without a doubt. I wasn't particuarly maternal before I had Marley, but since she has been born. I can't remember what my life was like before I had her.
2) My friend Michelle who's only a phone line away.
3) And my brother Iain. When we were kids we fought like cat and dog, but is the first person who would be there if I need him. When I was 17 my mum had a terrible accident in the house. She fell down the stairs and suffered brain damaged, she was in a coma for three months. There were many times when we thought she would not make it. The day after the accident we were all at her bedside and she was hooked up to every machine you could think of. My brother said to me don't worry whatever happens I'll always look after you.


5)M&M or smarties?

Smarties because of the different colours. I've got some pink ones for Christmas.

6)What is your favourite: a) colour b) CD 3) movie

Black because I mostly wear it,
Coldplay X&Y or a CD called The same sky by a scottish band named Horse.
Wizard of Oz

7)Which reality show do you watch?

Scrictly come dancing.

2. Why Chloe O'Brien? Are you a geek?

Everyone who knows me on here knows that 24 is my favourite show. Chloe O'brien is a computer geek and loyal friend to Jack Bauer. Chloe first appeared in 24 in season 3 and I loved her. She is the only one who is not afraid to stand up to Jack. I suppose I am a bit like her in someways I can have a costic tongue on me when things are not done right and people pi$$ me off.

3. Would you open Pandora's box?

I had to think about this and I've choosen yes I would open Pandora's box. Throughout history there have been many tragedies with world wars, 9/11 and the Tsunami but my belief in what humans are capable of has always amazed me. No matter what horrors we face. If we support one another, through determination and courage we can overcome anything.

4. Least favourite pass time?

Ironing I hate it.

5. What's your view on Scottish independence?

Not for it. Scotland would not survive without the rest of the UK despite how patriotic I am about Scotland. Alex Salmond and SNP being in charge of the Scottish Adiminstration is the worst thing to happen to Scotland since Thatcher the milk snatcher was in power.

6. Pull out a skeleton from your cupboard?

I have taken drugs. Cannabis and speed. When I worked night-shift in a casino me and my mates used to put the hash in coffee and be stoned every night at work. Even when I went clubbing I always took drugs.

7. Your least favourite SBs member and most favourite?

I've been lucky I'v not had a fallen out with anyone on here, but what does get on my nerves are the spammers who come on to spam pointless posts. Favourite member Lord to many to mention. I love you all but if I have to pick one I would choose Bryan because he was the first person to relpy to my posts when I first join SB.
8. Most common white lie you tell?

You know me I'm not one for gossip.

[Abbie]

Loved the answers Kath I never knew about that in the first SBBB you did
Well I cant remember it being you, I remember when the first SBBB was about there was some posts around the boards I just cant remember who

[Trinity]

I didn't know of the sadness and tragedy in your family, and I think that it says a lot about you that you are not bitter.

Your big heart is obvious in your posts, and the fact that you care for people you haven't even met on these boards.

I really admire you as someone whose glass is half full, and who knows what is important in life.

I love musicals too, but sci fi wins out - Live Long and Prosper!
