Name - Nicholas James Hearne

Hometown - Colchester

Favourite Animals - ring tailled lemurs, large domestic cats, llamas or alpacas (I'm no vicugnaist), ocelots

Favourite Colours - camouflage, orange, chocolate brown, cake

Favourite Food - Buffet is my favourite food type. Any type of food in a buffet format! It is the democratic way to eat. Although Katsu Curry is my all time favourite meal. Its reminds me of brilliant holidays to Japan when my brother Snoop Bob lived in Koshigaya. But if you were going to surprise me by bringing a meal to me dressed as a monkey butler I would gladly eat spaghetti aux fruits de mer, a plate of Haribo cola bottles (not the cheap copies), stilton chicken and broccoli pie, Ghanaian peanut stew with jollof rice, roast parsnip and sausages of the world.

Least favourite food: I detest mayonnaise. I cant even bear to watch someone eat it. If you insist on having it on your plate, please rotate you plate so that it on the furthest point from me. Other stuff I don't like are mint, banana, synthesised strawberry flavour, lime cordial which gives me an itchy chin for some reason, and salad cream. If you want to present me with an egg it better be part of a cake or some sort of batter mix!

Heroes - Not only content with being frontman for one of my favourite bands Queens Of The Stoneage, Josh Homme then goes and plays drums for one of my other favourite bands Eagles Of Death Metal. This guy is a dynamo.

Yamtastico, Yamboy, Nikesh Shukla is a poet, musician, writer, journalist, comedian and all round auteur. He's not the best in his field at anything he does, but his energy and total commitment means that his projects always succeed and have the Yam brand of fun around them. I am better at playing Bombay Bazaar than him.

Eugene Hutz is the singer from excellent gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello. But also provides one of the best acting performances as a Ukrainian guide in Everything Is Illuminated. "Many girls want to be carnal with me... because I'm such a premium dancer!"

My hobbies - Every winter I go snowboarding for at least a week. I don't find picking my way through difficult off piste particularly fun. I love to go really fast instead!

I play drums and do backing vocals for electro-punk band The Biceps. We are very noisy with heavy electronic synth bass.

I am a member of a film quiz team The Good The Bad The Ugly The Ugly The Ugly and The Ugly who regularly win, but always get drunk, at the monthly quiz at the Genesis Cinema.

Every month I attend a reading group at Stoke Newington library.

I am also learning block printing and producing a series of lino cut scenes of local architecture in Stoke Newington. So far I have completed 2. It is a slow process.
