Mercury Q&A: I Am Kloot

Written by: joe_nockles

Who would win in a fight between a baboon and a badger?

John: The apes, well the chimpanzee is the most dangerous of all the apes and in fact it is more dangerous to be in a confined space with a chimpanzee than with any other animal on the planet.

Andrew: It’s a baboon though this isn’t it. It’s gotta be the baboon. I know the badger’s gnarly, but it’s gotta be the baboon. Just the size. It’d trample on it.

John: If the badger was in it’s set and the baboon went underground.

Andrew: But how’s it going to get in?

John: Well. It depends who’s attacking who. If the baboon was attacking the badger and the badger was in it’s set…..I think the answer is, it depends on the circumstances.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

Andrew: Blondie, Debbie Harry.

John: I think it was Marc Bolan.

If you were to go on Mastermind, what would be your specialist subject?

Andrew: Vespa scooters.

John: British superbike racing.

What’s your favourite shape of pasta?

Andrew: I like the bowties.

John: There’s only spaghetti. The rest of them don’t chew right BECAUSE of the shape.

Andrew: It’s good to be asked some sensible questions.
