Son Of Dork

25.12.05

What are you up to this Christmas? Dave: I’m going home to South Wales unfortunately. I don’t really want to. Well I do actually, I just want to party I think. I want a week of chilling first cos we’re so busy, schedules, you know how it is, rockin it up, mainly drinking a lot and doing things I shouldn’t be. I definitely want four days where I just chill and lock myself away, become a recluse or a hermit. And then I’m going to go home and drink a lot for a couple of days. My nan and granddad are going away this Christmas for the first time ever. It’ll be the first time I’ve never seen them! It’s not a good start. I’m a bit worried. New Years I’ll probably come to London. Steve: I’m going to be spending Christmas at home with my family in Chertsey in Surrey. We’ll be eating plenty of turkey and opening presents. I might be going to Spain for New Year with Danny. To meet some lady friends… Danny: I’m 95% sure we're going and if we do it’s going to be wild. For Christmas I’ll be home with my family in witness near Liverpool. Me mum dad and my brother. I can’t wait to get home and see my friends and family. What's the worst Christmas present you've ever received? James: I hate it when people give me stuff that’s so unimaginative. All the things that you can just go to Boots and get yourself. Like razors. That’s an essential, must-have in life. It’s not a present. It’s not a gift – it’s something you buy when you’ve five minutes left. I’ve been given tangerines and socks. Rubbish! They should be inventive things, people who know what your interests are, things that you wouldn’t think to buy yourself, that’s what a good gift is. Where you can go, ‘Oh wow! You remembered that I liked that!’ And the best? Chris: My guitar was my favourite. it was a nylon string classical guitar which I got when I was about eight. Steve: Can I fart? I’m sure you can. But don’t. Chris: Don’t do it! [Steve farts regardless of our pleas.] Chris: The worst thing now is he’s going to leave! [He does indeed run out of the dressing room, leaving a rather fragrant smell to linger in his wake!] James: The best thing I ever got was Ultimate Michael Jackson. It’s all five discs and live in Bucharest – from his Dangerous tour. I didn’t know it was out. My uncle gave me it last year. It was shot in Bucharest but that tour was the first time I’d ever seen Michael Jackson so it brings back good memories. What are your top three albums of 2005?
