Never imagined Simon to be a 'self confessed eternal pessimist'.

I was born to be a pessimist. My blood type is B negative.



It's not actually - it's A negative, but then the joke doesn't work as well ....

I lied - I wasn't born to be a pessimist, I have in fact just had my first day as a pessimist, but it really could have been better ...

Actually I'm so pessimistic, I don't even own a glass!

Oh who started this post?? There's just so much mileage here!

 Pretty positive I'm B Negative...around 3% of us are I'm told.

At least everythjing for you is white and black.

Good to see so much mention of the fans and the reaction in the interview, although do any of us on here actually tweet? I'm far too luddite for that.

Not sure if anyone has seen this other interview with Simon from Pennyblackmusic. Pretty detailed, the guy who wrote it is a fan and seems to know his stuff. Published May 2013

 I did for a bit, but I can't think of anything interesting to say... https://twitter.com/arrgee1991

Don't really do facebook either.  Not really cos I'm a luddite, just don't really latch onto these trends.  Don't see I'm missing much, so not a fomo then...

 Not seen that before - thanks for the link.

Very refreshing o have different band member points of view nowadays, after a solid diet of 99% Geldof from 77-86. 

Good range of questions too.

Simon has always struck me as a really nice bloke who's happy to chat after any gig and really appreciates the fan base. Caught up with him after a gig at the Robin @ Bilston in the West Mids a few years back and thought he was impressive. Signed my TFAOS cd too.
