Why did you become a journalist?

Honestly? So I could one day interview Tom DeLonge. Now I've done that, it's all vibes.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I'm generally always around, but I'm usually at my peak by that 10am second cup of coffee.

What's your favorite drink?

Lemon Fanta, but Irn Bru is a close second.
