Hi list, 
 
From this week's NME:
 
On the couch - Suggs from Madness
 
Which song describes you best?
"'Loose Fit' by Happy Mondays, because I'm footloose and rootsy."
 
What is heaven?
"The boating lake in Regent's Park, a bottle of wine dangling off a piece of string, to the strains of a brass band, with the one you love doing the rowing."
 
What is hell?
"When you discover that the water in the bottom of the boat is a leak."
 
What is your earliest memory?
"Weeing in a saucepan."
 
What is your greatest fear?
"My greatest fears are heights and claustrophobia, so I suppose it would be being stuck in a glass lift on the 132nd floor."
 
Who is your all-time hero?
"I don't have one."
 
What's the worst trouble you've been?
"The odd occasion when I haven't been able to communicate as well as I might with my family."
 
Who was the first love of your life?
"My wife, Anne."
 
What's your greatest talent?
"Lyric-writing and performing."
 
Upon whom would you like to exact revenge? Why? How?
"On me, for being such an arsehole.  I'd kick myself, but I can't.  My legs aren't long enough."
 
What's your most treasured possession?
"A copy of 'Cry Me A River' by Julie London.  It's on the jukebox in my home, and when I first got married it was the only record I had and we would play it every night."
 
What have you most regretted doing while drunk?
"Pretending I wasn't."
 
What can you cook?
"Pheasant stew and risotto."
 
What's the best piece of advice you've received?
"You should go home."
 
Can you read music?
"No.  But when I hear records I see shapes and colours."
 
If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
"I'd put the clock back 20 years, and then enjoy it all over again."
 
If you had three final wishes, what would they be?
"That I could have a never-ending bottle of beer; that people genuinely realised how enjoyable life is; and that everybody could meet in Trafalgar Square and shake hands."
