Where is your favourite spot in Dundee?

I love the McManus Museum and would live there if I could get away with it.

 

If you could live in any fictional world, which one would it be and why?

I would want to live in the Pokémon world! I love the games and I’ve been playing them since I was 9 years old (I’d wanna live in Unova or Galar).

 

If you could have a dinner party with any three celebrities, who would you invite and why?

Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy, hosts of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, so I could basically listen to my favourite podcast live. It would be deeply awkward for all of us, but I stand by it.

 

If you could magically become fluent in any language, which one would you choose and why?

I’d love to become fluent in Dutch! My partner is Dutch and I’m learning slowly, but it’s a lot of work.

 

If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why?

I would have a whole herd of manatees! They are super gentle and sweet – # 1 on my bucket list is to take a trip to Crystal Springs, Florida and visit them.

 

What's your favourite cheesy joke or pun?

Well, I don’t think I could choose... whatever I pick, it better be a gouda one. You might beg to disa-brie, but I think nothing could be feta than cheesy jokes. I’m gonna stop before this gets too grating.

 

If you could have a magical ability to understand and speak any animal language, which animal would you choose to communicate with and why?

I’d like to speak to cats, so I could understand exactly what my cat wants when she’s shouting at me at 6am.
