You’d go to a fancy-dress party as?
I’d follow my interests and background, so Bjorn Borg (did I mention that I love tennis?), or a French stereotype with a beret, striped T-shirt and a baguette! Otherwise, to please my wife, I’d dress up as Thor!

I had loads! Full-size Michael Jordan, Andre Agassi, Guns N’ Roses and Nirvana.
How many attempts before you passed your driving test?
Two. I hear all the best drivers pass on their second attempt!
