That was a fun test, and it’s interesting to see the results. Here is some analysis…

1. Drink of choice

I do actually prefer bitter, but I’m not allowed it due to my gluten intolerance. Therefore cider is the only way to go.

2. Odd socks

It’s probably known that I have just a hint of OCD about me, which could account for the Lilac/Left, Red/Right answer, but maybe my exposure to maritime culture isn’t so well known. Therefore my OCD insists that if I’m wearing red and green odd socks, they must be the correct way round for port and starboard, lest I crash into another vessel.

3. Born

I was born in Ashby, registered (twice) in Coalville and lived in Loughborough, Leicestershire for most of my life. I knew this would be tricky for all but those who know me well.

4. Day Job

I used to make live audio, nearly made mobile phone networks and actually work in telly. I’ve never touched radio. This seemed to be the most common correct answer, so it seems I probably talk about it quite a bit.

5. Commodore 64s

Quite a spread of answers here, but I guess that’s fair enough. I have one I’m happy to use, and one boxed and stored in case of emergency.

6. Cars

This was the most wrongly biassed answer. The BMW attracted most answers - I’m not sure if that’s because it’s the ‘odd one out’ in the list, or because it’s out of character. Well, yes it was, but I did own one. A big black old shape one that my colleagues dubbed my KGB-Mobile.

7. Technical Editor

Nobody guessed Photography or Theology. There was about 50-50 between Minis and Hacking which is reasonable, but Hacking (the right answer) won out. Here ’s the book.

8. Minis

Even I had to look this up! They are, in order, Green ‘81 Pickup, Pageant Blue ‘79 Saloon, Red ‘86 GTM Coupé, Red ‘91 City, Blue ‘70 Pickup, Blue ‘84 Mayfair which I’m still driving.

9. Music

The lovely Betty Boo, of course. Echobelly was the answer with the most wrong guesses in the whole quiz. That’s reasonable, I guess - I’m not averse to a bit of britpop, but I’d rather listen to BB. Coldplay leave me cold and while ‘Dick-a-dum’ is excellent, I’m afraid I’m not Des O’Connor’s greatest fan.

10. Computer Language

I put C# in as an ‘odd one out’ for the guessers, especially since I’m normally known as a sad unix geek. However, my day job is currently programming C# and most people got that right. The right answer was python - I don’t even know what type of language it is, or its intended use. (I’ll go and look it up now!)
