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.

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.
