Dominique Kidd

Dominique Kidd was founded in Nottingham during the late 1970s. She is principally comprised of coffee and biscuits and holds the world record for excess speakage.

One of the original three members of Page 45, Dominique has left four times only to reappear like the proverbial bad penny without once returning her leaving presents. She will never be leaving again, for I will not be writing her references.

As of Sunday 9th September 2012 Dominique joins Stephen and Jonathan as full-time co-manager.

I am tempted to say currently (2012) the entire cabinet. But actually no one. Can’t be arsed.

Jeremy Clarkson

Tough one! I cannot pick between Natalie Merchant and Chan Marshall.

Rachel Weisz, Ellen Pompeo, Karen Bardsley, Audrey Tautou.

How would you like to be remembered?
In a way which causes the least pain to those left behind.

What will you be doing next?
Going to bed. We have two duvets, one to lie under and one to lie on. So awesome.

Tell me a secret about life!
Secrets will destroy you, avoid them.

Tell me a secret about yourself!
When I was a child I thought the sewer access cover in our back garden was the entrance to the Batcave and so I jumped up and down on it endlessly to try to break in. Never occurred to me that I would just end up *falling into the fucking sewer*.
