1. How do you talk? Fast? Slow? Loud? Quiet?

Pretty fast, but I can throttle it back.

2. What's your accent?

Mild Scottish, but I can turn it up to incomprehensible Glaswegian if required.

3. Are you most comfortable playing serious, pissed, wacky, annoyed, funny? If you'd rather do something specific like this, let me know, otherwise you'll just get a part and do your best.

Haven't a clue, as I've never acted before.

4. Do you have specific car limitations? Like, no back seat?

I'm in the UK, so right-hand drive.

5. Problem with profanity?

If you ever meet me in person, you'll know I don't have, but I avoid it online anyway because I'm weird.

Also, 6. Pick a movie you love. Doesn't have to be your favorite, but one that you just freaking love.

Some Like It Hot.

Since I commute past Heathrow into central London from a semi-rural town surrounded by parks, there's probably an interesting variety of places I could drive past. Also, I have a woollen Bender hat.

Favourites (off the top of my head): Alexander Nevsky by Prokofiev, Star Trek: the Motion Picture by Goldsmith, Airplane! by Elmer Bernstein.

Don't really have a least favourite, but if I have to pick one, I throw out Avatar by Horner, mainly for its flagrant lack of originality, even by Horner's low, low standards.

Does Donna Noble's story in Doctor Who fit this? Her story starts as she's happily walking up the aisle on her wedding day, but ends with her having literally no knowledge of all the heroic things she does with the Doctor, on pain of her own death, even though the people closest to her do know, but can't tell her.

Not so much cool as funny, and possibly informative, if you're thinking of signing up with a record label.

Ignoring all the interesting stuff you said in the commentary, allow me instead to pick up on the bamboozling pronunciation of 'Millar' that I repeatedly heard. Millar is a common name in Scotland, where Mark Millar is from, and I have never heard it pronounced any way other than rhyming with 'pillar' or 'filler'.

So, pour quoi on the Mill-ARR?

We're not aware that other countries HAVE tv, except Doctor Who which is shot on location in United British Kingdomland, near France.

Amazingly, part of the most recent season was filmed on location in United American Statusland, near Canadia.

Why is it that German accents make geeky women sound even geekier? Is it just me?

I found this when I was exploring youtube doing some research for a project. I thought of you.

I appreciate the sentiment, but German women speaking German isn't the same to me as German women speaking English. Possibly because, since I understand German, this just sounds to me like 'language' rather than 'interestingly accented language'.

I do not believe that story means what I thought it means. Which is fine by me.  Sorry about any kerfuffle caused.

IRL I manage a software team for a luxury retailer whose offices are so swish that we have several chandeliers to help separate the programmers from the supermodels.

I've just found this video of the offices where I work, which shows the aforementioned chandeliers and supermodels (but, perhaps surprisingly, not so many of the programmers).
