Emergency Questions

Phoebe Herring: What do you think rainbows smell of?

I think they smell of sweet shops. How are we gonna know? Just lie; pretend you have. It’s a lovely question.

What is the most disgusting household chore that you secretly quite enjoy doing?

*RH explains generation of question being from removing gunk from shower drain.* Oh no, I don’t enjoy that. I would just put Mr Muscle down there. Disgusting household chore that I don’t mind doing. Uh, none. No, none. I don’t like – I’m a neat freak though. I drive everybody mad. Yeah, total neat freak. I’ve got a white gloss kitchen. I don’t like things that are messy. There’s not, like, horrible stuff.

I like your hair, but what was your most disastrous haircut? Warning: Don’t say the first bit to a bald person, or probably the second bit.

Uh, I think half of it was short and the other half… You know that… *RH asks whether this occurred during the Haçienda period.* Yeah, it was before that. *RH asks if it was Philip Oakey-inspired.* Yeah. I loved him. I did slightly love him, yeah.

Isn’t it best just to get the sex out of the way as soon as possible in a relationship to discover if there’s anything more than physical attraction going on?

Would you actually ask that question [on a date]? See, bluntness and honesty’s great, but that does not come across as blunt honesty. That just means that you just want to have a quick one with this person who you fancy. I don’t think so. I’d rather get to know somebody a bit because, uh, otherwise, you know, you can really like somebody and then go off them really, really quickly. […] And then I think, I think you would be stuck then, wouldn’t you? It’s a bit awkward. I might be wrong. Because we’ve all got boyfriends or girlfriends who you go, you look back and you go, God, how did I go out with him? Really, how could I have went with him? And that’s the kind of thing you want to avoid. And that’s somebody you think you like.
