Q&A Nicole Waterman (Masterchef)

Have you ever devoured a whole catering pack of after eights in one sitting?

I can’t say I have, although I’m no stranger to polishing off an entire box of chocolates. I am only human after all.

Do aphrodisiacs work? 

I’m not sure chillies or chocolate have ever increased my sexual desires… personally i think it's all over hyped. You're either in the mood or your not!

If your other half ate an entire pack of rolos without offering you the last one, would you chin him?

I’d probably be a little miffed, but chinning the poor fellow may be overreacting slightly. Besides, I’m not a massive fan of rolos. On the other hand, if he guzzled my last glass of red wine I’d consider grievous bodily harm.

Have you ever been on a date and halfway through the meal they go to the toilet and never come back?

A few months back, I had a string of fairly disastrous dates; I considered doing this myself! There’s nothing worse than sitting through a horrific date.

Have you ever stood at the bar waiting for a drink, noticed an abandoned half eaten sausage swimming in baked beans on a plate beside you, waited a moment, then picked up the half eaten bean juice riddled sausage, stuck it in your mouth and swallowed it?

Ewwww, that’s disgusting! Although, I do love baked beans!

When you were at primary school, did you ever flush your prawn mayo sandwiches down the toilet, only for them to clog up the entire sanitary system? 

Prawn mayo sandwiches? Do you think my mum was made of money? It was peanut butter all the way for me. My brother and I used to eat the entire contents of our lunch-boxes on the walk to school. The naughty little rascals that we were!

What quote is this film from, 'I recommend the peanut butter soup… with smoked duck and mashed squash. New York Matinee called it “a playful but mysterious little dish.'

I'm blonde, let's leave it at that!

If you own a gravy boat, are you middle class?

Most definitely, I use my Pyrex measuring jug and hope that no one thinks I’m trampy!

Do you own an apron that has a picture of naked breasts on it? 

Why, is that middle class? No, in all honesty I don’t, but I've always wanted one! I imagine I’d look rather fetching!

Where can people read your recipes?

Q&A Phil Hepworth (The real life James Bond)

Have you ever done an Olly on a skateboard and simultaneously shat yourself?

That's an unusual one to start... Not even a 'Hello'... I have dabbled in the art of wood pushing, however, I gave up when Tony Hawk stole my signature '900'. Even though I had perfected in on the notorious ramps of Somersham. In answer to your initial question... No.

Does your girlfriend wax your eyebrows?

I'm afraid I'm a single pringle these days and the wax is kept purely for my legs.

So we can't talk about your job as a spy, but have you ever chinned a girl in a bid to obtain information from her relating to the disappearance of a Russian Satellite?

Well in the echo of the recent UKIP fiasco... Women don't belong in the work place, so a cheeky slap on the arse and nut to the face shouldn't have been an issue, but HR still strung me up by my balls about it. You will discover however my methods of interrogation are normally more subtle, usually involving water torture and cobras (not the popular lager).   

You play guitar and Snowboard too. Ever done both at the same time?

No that would be silly... Ukulele however yes.

Ever bought or worn women's clothes by accident?

I've worn women's clothing yes... however ...never by accident.   

You have a lustrous head of hair. Ever thought of doing hair modeling?

I actually have lol... My hairdresser entered a competition and used me and two others.

Where's the best place to eat in Cambridge and what would I wear?

Well I'm very partial to a Wagamammas (or however it's spelt). I would definitely recommend the Firecracker for both of us, THE most amazing dish I have ever eaten. You would wear something slutty so I could shout "YOU EYE-BALLIN' MY WOMEN BITCH?!" Proper Jesse from Breaking Bad style.

Do you find it impossible not to laugh when a young child face plants the pavement or runs into a glass door?

I managed the glass door one as a kid, since then the Grandparent's conservatory doors have had a strip of tape over each door.... Only yesterday I nearly wrote off a two year old throwing him onto a sofa not realising the arms were solid... With a loud 'THWAK' (Just like in old skool batman) he starts crying. However Dad rushes over tickles the crap out of him distracting the tears... Only to hear... "Again, Again" ... Kid's a beast. 

Look it's obvious you're a spy, ever had a fight on top of a train?

Yeah but some bitch with a sniper riffle shot me off it then I fell for like forever ...But wasn't dead and the film carried on... Wait... No that's Bond ain't it...

Anything you want to plug?

Errrr...Not overly ... Actually yeah, there is a shop in Ramsey called Taffin or something? Think Pierce Brosnan runs it... Good man.

Q&A Cambian (founder of Super Scratch Sunday)

Q&A Cambian (founder of Super Scratch Sunday)

Cambian - I search out & mix music made by other people. I also run Super Scratch Sundays. For free mixes & info - www.iamcambian.com

Was Soulwax right, Are there too many DJ's? 

Probably: Djing in the last few years or so has become a lot more affordable & accessible, which is no bad thing, don't get me wrong. But some of the technology has made things some what easier and so its inevitable certain people are happy to cut corners and not learn the craft properly. My flatmate often reminds me "everyones a dj!".

Do you own a Tshirt with a picture of a turntable on it? 

No. I don't plan to either.

How important is it to look good behind the decks? 

I don't think it matters any more than most scenarios, I'm more bothered about being comfortable. Having said that, at my last gig I did wear my favourite Ted Baker shirt, and I always freshly shave my head.

Best nightclub in the UK to DJ in? 

Not that I have done, but I'm gonna say Fabric or Ministry of Sound. As you'd expect they've done things properly and the sound system / dj equipment is the best money can buy.

Do you take requests? If so ever get asked to play 'DJ Culture by the Pet SHop Boys? 

I might at a house party if I have the track (which means i'll like it anyway). Overall I've been lucky in that department tho and I've been left alone. I had to google that Pet Shop Boys track... I wouldn't play it.

Why do most DJ's look like they could do with a decent meal in them? 

We can be an obsessive bunch and priorities shift.

A brand you would endorse for free? 

It'd have to be one I already use/wear alot or something useful. I'm open to offers...

Ever had a girlfriend threaten to smash up your record collection? If so did you chin her? 

Luckily not. I think they've always known how much it means to me. Worst comes to worst i'd apply a bear hug until she calmed down.

Has anyone ever come up to you and said, 'I heard you're the best' ? 

No, and if they did I'd assume they'd be taking the piss.

What is Super Scratch Sunday? 

Its a session for djs to meet up, talk, share ideas, and most importantly scratch together. The scratch scene can be quite internet based sometimes so it's a good excuse to get away from a computer. It's been going about 2.5 years now, and we've been lucky enough to have djs from all over the world pass through. Check out www.superscratchsunday.com for all links concerning though.

Q&A Nicky Cook

NICKY COOK

Band Manager, Song Writer, Producer, 

Founder of KillaVista

So lets clear this up once and for all, did you write 'Who let the Dogs out'?

Who, who who who who me?

In 10 words or less, what's the secret to looking cool?

Wear black!

Do you talc your balls in warm weather? If so do you throw the talc direct onto the balls or do you put your pants on and throw the talc in after?

I'm holding them most of the time!

What band has got it right 'fashion wise' right now?

Missing Andy of course!!

You've travelled with the band 'Missing Andy' on many a tour. Who currently tops the list on personal hygiene?

No one is skanky, but Steve would go the longest without a shower

to avoid the frizz! Alex would use the most aftershave!

What brand of clothing are you sick of seeing?

Anything chav orientated!

So you've dabbled in celebrity soccer, what would Olly Murs say about your goal keeping skills? 

I'm unstoppable with banana gloves!He would say "WOW the banana man is a wicked Goal Keeper!"

Have you ever ripped off your own shirt in the midst of passion?

Of course but it never panned out the way I intended it to.....In my head I was Arnie ripping a silky smooth shirt off, clean and simple....It turned out to be more like Danny Devito trying to rip a bed cover that had been super glued to my chest!

You're invited to a Superhero costume party, who do you go as?

Supermanager!!

What is Killavista? 

It's something that isn't music, which means you can possibly make

money from it! KillaVista is a 'In House Media / creative think tank' company specializing in creating visual content, i.e. videos, photography, graphics and advertising concepts for the corporate and fashion world.

Q&A - Nike collector NeoGio

Q&A Nike collector and DJ NeoGio


1# How many pair of NIKE trainers do you own?
Around 60 pairs .... give or take a few, there's alot of boxes in my cupboard.

2# Have you ever come home drunk missing a shoe?
Nope not me personally but my friend did once after a new years eve party, we went looking for it the next day but it was long gone. 

3# Have you ever hosted a party where a girl falls asleep drunk, then sleep walks her way to the airing cupboard in the middle of the night and fills your new nike trainers with piss?

No that's definitely not happened and she wouldn't wake up again if she did manage to do that haha.

4# What pair of Nike trainers do you own that you'd run back into a housefire for?
Can i really only save one pair ?? ..... If it came down to it then it would be either my Tiffany Diamond Dunk Sb's or my Futura Dunkle Sb's.

5# Without googling it, do you know where the name Nike came from?
I think its a word/name that's associated with the Greeks ... one of the gods or something.

6# Have you ever made love wearing your Nike trainers and nothing else?
No ... to be honest i don't think its something id want to try either.

7# If Dale Winton was the new face of Nike, would you still buy Nike?
Dale Winton, im not so sure he's the kind of face Nike would be associated with (lets be honest Dale doesn't look the sports type), but if the designs remained the same then i'd buy them.

8# What have you got against Dale Winton?
Personally i have nothing against him but if he has a personal grievance with me id be happy to sit down and discuss it.

9# Why Nike?
I think Nike are head and shoulders above the competition, since they launched the Jordan Brand in the 80's and then the SB line in the early 2000's they've always had the look and the colour ways that that have always stood out. Don't get me wrong ive got love for alot of other brands but Nike just seems to come up with the goods on a regular basis.

10# Where can people see you DJ next?
I'm playing at the Loop in Chelmsford on Friday the 26th of July at the Hip-Hop vs Garage night ..... 9-3 should be a good night, come talk to me about trainers and Hip-Hop music.

Q&A - UFC fighter Luke 'Bigslow' Barnatt

Luke 'Bigslow' Barnatt 

Mixed martial artist fighting in the prodigious UFC

What item of clothing would you run into a house fire for? 

My Bolongaro Trevor Black carrot cut 100% organic cotton trousers! That business enigma Paul Sowerby gave me after I begged him for months... I wear them far to much.

Which fighter past or present do you think has the best dress sense?

Of course me... but Leeroy Barnes is a UK beast who's always uploading instagram pictures that prove his fashion prowess...

Would you wear fake fur?

Hmmm if it suited an outfit! Probably on my shoes! But I have no desire to or desire not to.

Have you ever had someone cup your balls when being measured for a suit?

Unfortunately I've never been measured for a suit! It's actually something I have booked for next week. A snazy 

3 piece... so hopefully I get the cupping treatment!

Which clothing label would you happily endorse for free? 

Anything Original and different.. I love Bolongaro Trevor, Rag & Bone & Deltoro footwear... but there's so many out there! Belstaff, Scotch & Soda and John Varvatos are all in my wardrobe...

Do you think the average Brit dress's better than the average american?

100% I'm a bit more essentric than the average englishman but over in the states they wear god awful clothes! But you have the other side who are extremely stylish...

Its like their woman!  Either drop dead gorgeous or 300lbs... but based on the average joe. UK wins hands down! 

Have you ever pulled a ring girl (The girls that hold up the numbers between boxing rounds) after winning a fight? 

Next question you seedy individual... I'm a man of class!

Would you be happy to date a woman with poor dress sense?? 

Nope. It's pretty much top of my list along with athletic,  non smoker & an equal thirst for life.

Yep! I'm single lol

What film boasts the best fight scene? 

I'm definitely not a movie buff!  So I wouldn't take my opinion to heart... but for hand to hand combat its gotta be Tony Jaar in Ong Bak... 1 the others were awful.

What item of clothing do you wear to treat the ladies?

Bjorn Borg Boxers, accept no substitute.

Where can people see you fight next?

I'm still waiting for confirmation but im hoping for it to be the M.E.N in Manchester in October!

Beyonce under fire

When the garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed back in April killing over 1000 employees, eyes immediately turned to the clothing giant H&M who are largest buyer of Bangladeshi garments, importing nearly £10 million of ready made clothes. However H&M were quick to dismiss rumours that the factory was connected to their branch by releasing 5 articles on their website, vehemently denying that any of their suppliers were connected to the tragedy. Then came a rather meek and under the radar announcement on their website that revealed H&M garments WERE in fact produced at the unit. 

In the light of this news Director of the Global Labour and Human Rights Charles Kernaghan, audited several of the factories where H&M garments are produced and told the Star newspaper that 'There was sexual harassment in the sweatshops, as male supervisors would constantly press young women to have sex with them.' He also added 'There was child labour, people were being beaten, cheated of their wages — and wages were very, very low.'

In response to these claims the CEO of H&M Karl-Johan Persson spoke to Metro about its operations in Bangladesh, 'You can never be 100% sure. The factory collapse was horrific. Accidents happen in Sweden, too.'

Popstar Beyonce is under fire for being the face of clothing giant H&M as more damaging allegations emerge about conditions its works endure overseas. Are criticisms over her corporate ethics justified?

Fashion Q&A

Rob Jones  

Bass player from Missing Andy

What item of clothing would you run into a house fire for? 

I'd run in for my fav black jacket. Was a one off from LA. 

Did you get fired from an agency for wearing a mankini to china whites?

I recall the shock of people's faces as I ran down embankment not entirely packaged!!

If you had to tattoo a brand name on your forehead what would it be?

For comedy value, and free fish and chips id have 
'Smith &'






Have you ever had someone cup your balls when being measured for a suit?

Never had one tailored, but I bet the gay bloke in town row's would be game.

How important is it to wear matching socks? 

I've always tried to, but I'm in a phase of trainer socks so I guess it doesn't matter.

What frontman past or present has the best dress sense?

Labyrinth seems to look sharp in anything. 

Ever worn women's clothes on stage? 

I did a gig in the boars head pub in a bra and wig once for a band called funk power boat Racer - it wasn't one of my best shows haha.

What does the term Sunday best mean to you? 

Usually 'where is my house from here?'

Ever taken all your clothes on stage? 

Mate, I've had drunken piggy backs on stage!!!

Do you think you can be a trend setter by wearing h&m?

I've been known to sport the odd item. I'm no label snob!
