Internal Sales Manager

Matt ‘I wear Olly Murs’ seconds’ Cooper. And the worst.

4. What job did you most want to do when you were at school?
Internal Sales Manager

Nope! Internet questionnaires, on the other hand…

6. Best dancer at the CE Christmas party?
Purchasing Manager extraordinaire Mark ‘Psy’ Jermyn. Unquestionably.

7. The most played song on your iPod? Chicane – Saltwater.
Basically, I only use my iPod when I’m running, so according to that, I only listen to trance. This is particularly useful 7 miles in when the hill you’ve convinced yourself ‘isn’t going to be so bad’ is turning out to be a lactic acid party, as it inevitably does…

8. How many friends do you have on Facebook?
No idea!

9. The most famous person you follow on Twitter?
Not applicable to me as I’m not one prone to tweeting, but if I was so inclined I should imagine that it doesn’t get more prestigious than the Comms Express feed!

10. The chore you hate doing most?
Cleaning up my cat’s litter tray offerings.

11. What superpower would you most like?
Omnipotence would be quite nice.

12. Two dream dinner guests? (Can be alive or dead)
Keith Richards and Colonel Sanders

13. Your specialist subject on Mastermind?
Radiohead. I’m a complete geek, I’m afraid!

14. Favourite quotation?
“Real men don’t eat quiche.”

15. Favourite film?
Arrrrrggh, just one?!!! Today it’s The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, but that’s doing a disservice to Aliens, Pulp Fiction, Predator, et al.…

16. Favourite song? Arrrrrggh, etc! Today it’s Take 5 by Dave Brubeck Quartet.

17. Favourite pastime?
Though I realise this sends me into David Brent territory, probably ‘playing’ my guitar (still a loose term after 15 years).

18. Favourite food?
Quiche

19. Your worst habit?
Constant whistling & humming. I mean constant…

20. Four words that best describe you?
Really quite bad at maths
