Much better for doing this actually thanks
This is a Low is definitely my favourite, but the solo HAS to be played by Graham as the best part is when it hits the high note and Simon Tong always fucked it up when he was standing in.
Also have quite a soft spot for Under the Westway - it was the music I chose for the bit where we signed the register at our wedding.

edit 15th October. I helped Mrs Z make this and stick it on the wall in our front room.

Hey zeal, thanks for the Crizzy Maze shout out. As noted previously, I totally crumbled under the pressure of people shouting conflicting instructions at me when I did one of the revised crystal maze things.
Which planet would you visit in the solar system? Theyāre all safe and itās going to take a month wherever you go. Which boyband member would accompany you in your two-person shuttle?

Thanks budget - I enjoy yours too!
Thatās one hell of a question. This seems a bit of a cop out, but I donāt think thereās ever been a robot more perfect for Robot Wars than Diotoir, so Iād probably make mine a tribute to that. Green instead of red and a rubbish axe as a weapon to pretend Iām trying to win when actually Iām just there to have a laugh and entertain people by driving around in circles while on fire. Fuck any Robot with flippy things and self righting mechanisms - if I were in charge of Robot Wars theyād be outlawed.
Hey wwwwo - congratulations on your mod shield, well deserved!
It would either be my laptop (the dull answer) or my running watch. Iāve not used the latter much since April, but itās a daily thing when Iām in a running phase. Iāve had various running watches since 2005, but my current one is a Garmin Forerunner 610 - I feel naked when going out running without it.

I havenāt thought about it yetā¦ if you do one of these I might use it to ask for ideas.

Hi Bammers!
I admire Colin Powell for his commitment to not pronouncing his name problem (tip - itās Col-in, not Co-lin) but he doesnāt count for that reason and I quite admire Colin Pillinger (RIP) for his commitment to British Space Exploration. One of my lecturers worked on the Beagle 2 project and had nothing but good things to say about him.
All that said though, itās probably Colin Jackson actually. His genuine enthusiasm for his sport is utterly infectious and can make me forget how ridden with doping it is. Athletics needs a lot more people like him involved in promoting it and far fewer like Seb Coe.

Itās okay - weāll buy you out with a crystal. Weāre playing for fun, not to win!
I just enjoyed your story about going to the locked room thing with your colleagues so much that Iād quite like to see you in that situation for real.

Hi Japes - this is technically not a question, but Iām going to answer anyway.
I think it was on honeymoon in Iceland at JƶkulsĆ”rlĆ³n. There was a whole family of them swimming when we were there

Hey @shewbie, long time no see,
I donāt think I do, no. the closest I think Iāve come is taking a beer into the shower on occasion (being careful not to get any water into the bottle or can)
A lime while attempting to make a Moroccan recipe. Canāt remember which one Iām afraid and I think from memory it failed
No worries - as I said to Witches, weāre playing for fun, not to win, so no pressure.
NOW CONNECT THE BLUE WIRE TO THE PINK PLUG!
I would choose Mars, because I donāt think Iād enjoy visiting a molten or gas planet and I quite enjoyed the Martian to be honest. Iām not entirely au fait with my boyband members, but Iād either go with Ian āHā Watkins from Steps (if they count even though theyāre a mixed band), because he seems like heās quite a decent guy. If not, then Iāll take one for the team and bring Gary Barlow and sabotage his space suit while heās sleeping before we land there.

Itās paper, slotted together with the cuts done by machine - which is why itās so smooth. Mrs Z is the crafty one out of the two of us really; I just help.
Phew. All caught up so far I think - let me know if Iāve missed anything. Enjoyed all your questions. Happy to answer any more you all might have, but Iām going to take a loo break.
