The latest stuff that's been bugging our babblers
|
What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid? Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation. |

What was the first video you rented? Remember renting videos? Which was your first rental? |
 |
|
Your favourite RPG? I love JRPGs especially the Final Fantasy games - do you have a favoute RPG or series of RPG's? |
 |
|
What was the last truly scary horror film you saw? I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days? |
 |

What is the best night out watching the big match ever? I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D |

I did a similar thing. but used to continually draw the yellow walking, honking beast from The Central Cavern. Or "The Honker" as we used to call it. (Or "Snapping Robot" as Mr. Smith told me it was called.)
As my Dad was a big a kid as I was, and a bit of an artist, he joined in drawing the Honker too. Whereas you were asked to stop, I was encouraged slightly too much. Despite having opposing forces, the slow decline from education system is something we share!
There is so much I didn't put in the write-up of the interview, like observations about him and genuinely funny things he said from the talk he gave earlier in the day.
He's a genuine legend.
I salute you sir and your excellent website.
If I ever met Matthew Smith I think I would spontaneously combust. It would be like looking god in the face, and then god lifting his leg and doing a fart.
I used to draw pictures of the Central Cavern when I was at primary school and the teacher would ask me what it was. When I said it was a mine, with a miner, they thought it was some weird reaction to the eighties coal mine strikes and I got told to stop making political pictures.
So begain my long and extended drop out of the education system.
Oh Matthew Smith, so much to answer for...
