Gill Mills - Presenter and Writer
Gill worked as a radio and TV presenter and now runs her own music broadcasting company. A Brownie & Queen's Guide, she made Glasgow home for years."A best friend listens even though they've heard your complaint a million times and never competes with you."
Shetland or Orkney - amazing everything there - people, food, places and pubs.
Glasgow - venue crawl - taking in all the best music venues and bands. Start at nice
and sleazy on Sauchiehall St and end up at mono eating their fine veggie food.
Fife - vastly underrated. Love Crail and Anstruther and the like.
Right now, probably Sons and Daughters.
I pine for Haggis, it's not the same in England.
To manage a balanced personal life with a full and creative professional one. Not managed it yet, one always suffers.
My mate Steve Lamacq's jobs, but in a lady way!!
My last day presenting T in the Park on TV and radio was a pretty groovy one. Emotional, challenging and above all, fun.
There's a few I'd happily not interview again!
Wicked. I 'customised' it. I liked the sort of military style shirts, very this season! I also asked for a new patrol name. To this date I think we were the only canary patrol in the north west.
I loved it just being girls. Boys are different, and when in a group of girls they still get competitive, which usually results in us ladies getting pushed out. Remove them and we all get a chance to try our hand in a more relaxed environment.
Going for and getting my Queen's Guide Award and Baden Powell Challenge Award. I was in the Guides when they were changing over the awards and thought it would be fun to try and get both. It was, but a lot of hard yet rewarding work.
One who doesn't nick your boyfriends, who listens even though they've heard you complain about something a million times before and who never competes with you. Oh - and the ability to make me laugh at the silliest things, even when you're meant to be being 'mature'.
Not being a man! And the wide variety of shoes available, I feel for men and their poor shopping opportunities.
Cancer Research. Everyone gets touched by it in some way or another through their life.
Bestival on the Isle of White. But Benicassim in Spain comes a close second.
A film director, actress or radio DJ.
Almost impossible to answer, so I'll go for current ones. Clap your hands say yeah!, Supergrass and King Creosote, but I could go on, er.Clor, still Mylo, Bloc Party remix album, Pendulum, the Go Team, Electrelane and so on and so on..
Positives: Music. People. Books. Food. Film.
Negatives: George Bush. Bad Manners. bullies.
