Very wrong

Would you answer the following questions in a job interview with only Yes/Maybe/No?

102. Would it take a definite effort on your part to consider the subject of suicide?

  • 172. Is the idea of death, or reminders of death, abhorrent to you?

62. Do you often "sit and think" about death, sickness, pain and sorrow?

63. Do you remain upset for some time following an accident or other disturbing incident?

99. If you were invading another country would you feel sympathetic towards conscientious objectors in this country?

169. Would you stand by and fail to protect an animal from needless suffering?

These were all asked in a psycho-metric test to apply for a job. Was it an SAS officer role, a CIA marksman, hired goon? No, it was the same job I was getting excited about in an earlier entry and thought I had the best chance after a really good first stage. Yet someone out there feels the results of such questions can define your personality.

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
