A bullshit answer to designed to disguise the real dirt.

My favourite interview question. I love it. Once upon a looooong time ago I had a third interview with a third interviewer for the same position at an Earls (follow the link, I dare you, and turn up your speakers before you do) and was asked this amazing question for a third time. I replied, "I lie under pressure." I remember the interviewer waiting for me to follow up with a smile and a 'real' answer. I did no such thing!

One of my finest moments ever (and I didn't get the stupid facking job, thankfully).

Bravo!

My colleague, Kev, when at the interview for his job here in the library, was asked where he saw himself in five years time. He said he wanted to be a fireman.

Actually, thinking about it, Kev gives me shit for pretty much everything I like, except Spiritualized. Every gig I go to, he asks me "How were Swastika Headfuck last night?"

I remember liking Heaven and Hell back in the day, and I remember buying Mob Rules for my friend Mick as a birthday present our freshman year of high school. I've always kinda wanted to hear Dehumanizer. Should I take the plunge?
