*Blue Cheeze* Interviews

�Busy this weekend, girls?�
Champgane, stripteases and snogging in taxis � you get all that and more on a night out with the Blue crew. Read on and find out what would happen if one of them asked you for a date�

Picture the scene: you�re going on a date with a gorgeous girl. Do you dress to impress?
Simon: Hell yeah! (Singing) �Dress to impress, to spark a woman�s interest!�
Lee: I�d be suited and booted, man.
Antony: I hate suits. Jeans and trainers all the way!
Duncan: It depends, you can�t wear trainers in a fancy restaurant.

Do you take long to get ready before you go out?
Antony: Nope. Give me 20 minutes and I�m in, out, shake it all about.
Lee: I get changed about three times.
Duncan: Me too. I�m indecisive and then I start panicking because I�m not ready.
Simon: I like to come out of the shower and put loads of baby lotion on.
Duncan: Just in case he does his striptease later�

And what would you like your lady to be wearing?
Antony: Stockings and suspenders.
Lee: It doesn�t matter because it�s going to end up on my floor at the end of the night!
Duncan: I like girls to dress up nicely so that they look sexy, but not tarty. Lee likes tarty girls.
Lee: I like dresses that have slits at the side. They�re not tarty, are they? I like girls who take pride in the way they look.

Do you always pick your dates up?
Antony: Nah, I�d tell mine to meet me wherever we�re going. She knows where the bus stop is.
Duncan: I prefer meeting somewhere too. You don�t know what direction they�ll come from or what they�ll wear � it�s exciting.
Lee: Plus, you can chat up other birds before they arrive and take a few numbers � just in case it goes pear-shaped.
Antony: I�ve done that, text messaged different birds when I�ve been on a date.
Lee: I normally turn my phone off when I�m out with a girl.
Simon: But that�s when people get suspicious. One girl I went out with had her phone on divert during our date and I wanted to know why.

Where would you take a new girlfriend?
Duncan: For a nice meal somewhere posh � she can order whatever she likes and we�d have some champagne too, to loosen up a bit.
Lee: Nah, I�d go for steak and chips somewhere small and intimate.
Antony: There�s a pub near me and it�s on the river. On a nice day it�s lovely and romantic, so I like going there.
Simon: I�d take her to Yum-Yums in London for some rice and peas.

What would you talk about?
Lee: Love makes for a good conversation.
Simon: Everything, from how your day has been to things you�re interested in.
Duncan: Exactly. I�m quite open, so I talk about whatever comes into my head.
Lee: I do that, but it scares girls sometimes. I get really deep and start talking about spirits and things like that. I like deep and meaningful conversations, but maybe they�re not appropriate on a first date.

What would you do after dinner?
Simon: What do you mean? That�s another date, innit?
Antony: We�ll see how it goes, but of course, I�d pick up the bill.
Duncan: I�d do something fun like go to a toy shop and bounce around on space hoppers. When I lived in Bournemouth we used to go for a nice walks on the beach. Sometimes we�d even go skinny dipping, although that usually took longer to get to that just one date�
Lee: I don�t care as long as when I suggest something, she doesn�t turn around and go (in a girlie voice), �I don�t fancy that,� without having an idea of her own. I like girls who have got a bit of a clue about what they want.

How about going to a club?
Lee: OK, but we might have fallen in love and prefer to go somewhere nice and quiet to talk.
Duncan: What after one date? Yes, I�d go for a little boogie.
Simon: Yeah, definitely a little dance. We�d get to rub up against each other then�

How would your date get home?
Duncan: Stagger!
Lee: You know what? It�s nice to walk home if you get a good conversation going and you start bonding.
Antony: What if it�s cold or raining?
Lee: OK, what about one of those human cabs? Those little carriages with a man riding the bike in front of you. You could snuggle up in one of those.
Simon: I�d put her in a cab with a nice peck on the cheek.

What, no snog?
Duncan: Of course! In the back of the taxi on the way home.
Antony: With the driver watching it all in the mirror.
Simon: The girl has to initiate it, though. If someone wants a kiss, she has to kiss me.
Lee: I might kiss her in the ear, it�s a good test. I like nutty girls and if they don�t freak it�s a good sign.

How long do you wait before you call your dates?
Antony: About two days. But I have to get a snog on the first date. If not, then I know I�ve wasted my money.
Lee: It depends on how much I like her. If I do, probably the next day. That is, if I don�t have to wake her for breakfast�
Duncan: I�d text her when I got home, just to say that I had a good night.
Simon: Me too, but only if we went our separate ways�

What would Blue do?
Would they laugh at the Queen�s farts? Get involved in celebrity slanging matches? Tell you if you�ve got your skirt caught in your knickers? Find out as Blue take the SH morality test

One of the lads is chatting up a girl and you see he�s got something stuck between his teeth. Do you tell him?
Duncan: Yeah man! We do �BT checks�!
Lee: Which means bogey teeth checks.
Simon: We�ll check for that and stuff in your eyes and nose. There�s nothing worst than talking to someone for half an hour with a great big bogey hanging out.

One of the lads in the band really likes a jacket he�s seen. But you go shopping before him and decide you like the jacket too. Do you buy it?
Simon: Ooh!
Duncan: No, no.
Ant: I wouldn�t, definitely not. You�ve got to think how you�d feel if someone did that to you. On the outside, you�d make sure you didn�t seem bothered, but deep down you�d be gutted.
Duncan: I�d let him buy the jacket, but I�d always be asking to borrow it.
Simon: If it happened to me, I�d be annoyed but I wouldn�t do anything spiteful, like rip it up or anything. It�s only a jacket and there�s no point getting worked up about it. Don�t be a hater!

You overhear a celebrity slagging you off behind your back, but when you meet them they�re really nice to you. What do you do?
Ant: Smack �em. No doubt about it, mate.
Simon: Yeah!
Duncan: No, you should be nice to their face, but you know what they�re really like, so you have your own opinion about them.
Simon: Or, what you do is take them away to the side, follow them when they go to the toilet or something, and say, �No we�re on our own, you say what you�ve got to say � but say it to me when no one else is about�.
Ant: I hate those people who think they�re funny in front of their mates, but then turn into little boys when they�re on their own in a corner.
Simon: We do hear about people slagging us off and then when we�ve seen them, they�ve been nice to our faces. But we don�t listen to gossip � most of the time it�s rubbish. If someone has got something to say about us and says it to our face, we�ll have more respect for them. But, otherwise, are we bothered? Nah�

You meet the Queen and she farts. What do you do, laugh or take the blame yourself?
Duncan: Laugh and embarrass her.
Anthony: Laugh. Why cover for her? She�s a human being and she�s allowed to fart if she wants to. In fact, she�s the Queen, so she�s probably got more right than anyone else! If it was a good one, I�d congratulate her, applaud and say, �Go on, girl!�
Simon: It�d depend on how embarrassed she was. You don�t want to make her feel bad because she is the Queen. But I�d probably laugh.

You�re at a bar and a really hot chick starts chatting you up. The thing is, you�re sure she snogged one of the other lads a couple of weeks before. DO you go for it?
Lee: Get hold of her! (Blue slang for �snog her�)
Simon: Yeah man, get hold of her!
Duncan: We shark each other. The only time someone is off limits is if she�s actually a girlfriend of one of the band members. But we wouldn�t do that to each other.
Ant: I was with this girl when I was 16 and my mate � who was 22 � was mucking about with her behind my back. Now they�re engaged and they�ve got a kid. That�s embarrassing, like a stab in the back. I said, �Are you getting hold of her?� and he denied it because he already had a girlfriend � but she turned out to be a lesbian!

Your mate is having a birthday party but you�ve been invited to a premiere and you know that an actress you really fancy is going to be there. Which do you go to?
Simon: I�d got to my mate�s.
Lee: You could go to both. If it�s work and you have to go, your mate would understand. I don�t think you�d go if your only reason were to get off with this girl.
Simon: You should always choose your mates over a girl.
Duncan: These are the situations that really test where your loyalties lie. I mean, you make friends in the business, but they don�t tend to be your best mates. They�re more like acquaintances.

You�re on a TV show, about to go on air, and you realized your female presenter has her skirt caught in her knickers. Do you tell her?
Duncan: Yeah!
Ant: You don�t want to embarrass her.
Lee: Especially on TV, when it�s not just everyone in the room that sees it but people watching at home, too.

A fan is following you around and she seems nice, but you start seeing her hanging around your home. Do you say anything?
Simon: We�re fortunate that we�ve never been put in that situation. Our fans are pretty good in that respect. I think they know the line and when not to cross it.
Ant: At the end of the day, people have to understand that we have to have our private lives. We think it�s great that the fans come to see our gigs and shows and we�re always really grateful. But, there are times when we have to be allowed ot do our own thing.

A tabloid paper is threatening to run a story on your family unless you give them something else. What do you do?
Ant: Give them something else. I�d pull a moonie or something.
Simon: Definitely give them something else, because I can handle the pressure, but I don�t know if my family could.
Duncan: That�s the worst part, when the papers start writing about your family. That�s your personal life. You only get a tiny bit of time to yourself in this industry and if that�s suddenly taken away from you, it�s annoying. If that goes, you�re left with nothing.
Ant: Once, I was talking to a gorgeous girl in Australia. We were getting on well, flirting, but then I found out she was a journalist and said, �Thanks, see you later!� I walked off, because I was immediately wary of her. It�s not nice to be like that, but you do stop trusting people.

A well-known celebrity starts hitting on you and hints that she can help your career if you play the game. What do you do?
Lee: Do it, man!
Ant: Get hold of her.
Duncan: You can just play the game back.
Simon: You�ve got to, you�d be a fool not to!
Duncan: I�m not really up for going out with people to help my career, but if they were fit and it was a chance to pull them, then why not?
